RE: 1914 ADF is rediculous
Is this your second attempt to get ADF changed? Sorry, but ADF has functioned this way since Smolensk '41 (and MG units don't fire out to 4km, but I guess you are talking about field guns). Anyway, it happens in PzC and can equally cause headaches with armored cars dancing around drawing AT gun fire before the tanks move in. There isn't much that can be done about that, not to mention, who says it is isn't realistic to have a unit draw some fire? I don't consider it a cheat, but to each his own I guess.
My suggestion is the same suggestion given for any of these games where you don't think ADF functions in the way they want it to: turn on Manual Defense Fire and play it as phased play. If enough people complained about it at Tillercon then I suppose John could consider adding in some function to PzC, MC and FWWC to where you can tell some units to hold their long range fire, but until something like that happen, I don't think there will be any major changes in the engine here.
