Description

Built two different missions in the editor
in one naval commandos assault a beach , as soon as they leave the water they pull their pistols and remain with their pistols drawn , some of the targets are 50 meters away and others are 150 - 300 meters away
*Edited*

The second mission I sent a diver team to engage an enemy in a town but before reaching the town (200 meters or so) they where engaged ( I was a high commander)

instead of returning fire they pulled their pistols and started running towards the enemy (and died)

this is Still an Issue
Divers (are supposed to be SF units)
Get into a fire fight and instead of shooting they ALWAYS try to get close to the target then pull their pistols out (a current workaround is to manually remove their pistols)
to me it looks like its due to the divers not switching the mag to the "dry" magazines and therefore their pistols have a longer range

this is still an issue on the latest patch in the DEV build

when I switched to the divers using zeus , their main weapon was still loaded with dual purpose ammo - just FYI
and they keep dying in fire fights due to the enemy's firepower compared to their drawn silenced pistols

Still a problem in the latest DEV branch

Thanks for the report! You're right, currently they prefer pistols due to reasons you've mentioned. So far AI is unable to autonomously switch to STANAG outside the water.
