Waste of a lot of ammo, that was really needed elsewhere. Had to send in special forces to get them instead.
Sounds like a problem worth investigating further, as it also exist in all series of SP both CAMO and WaW. Perhaps it is a random bug or faulty installation (not sure) since I haven't tested it yet.
You are actually better off using Z fire with the main gun so that you get the arty routine applied instead of the direct fire routine. I have used the Z fire for my tanks and MGs in my Oder battle and the suppression has been impressive. Thanks to Narwan for that tip. Note if you have LOS the Z fire will be far more accurate. Game play example: I have a bunker with a 170mm naval gun. I tried direct firing at an Russian MG across the river but the bugger fired back every time and it's status never changed (hard to believe). The next turn I switched to Z fire on the MG and pinned him and shut him up for a bit.
