Units will lose the opportunity fire settings if spotted and will revert to normal AI control for defensive fire purposes.  This is as intended.  The player does not have a fine control over units engaged in the defensive fire against their opponent.  Such control would render PBEM file exchanges impossible.

But as you don't know when/if a unit is spotted, or feels it's spotted, it also means you can't be sure if opportunity fire works.

There are other oddities in the system that make me suspect the system might sometimes "reset" a unit by accident. Artillery defensive fire seems to be more frequent when there are fewer units around: Axis Nebelwerfers in a scenario like Authie or Carpiquet seem to fire more often than our artillery did in 5th of July. In Ozerovskii, single Soviet tank units fired more often than a broken down Panzer battalion. When it happens once, I'd say it's randomness, but there does seem to be something odd going on. It seems to work normally for infantry units, but not for gun and vehicle units. It might just be an impression, I'll run some tests at some point.

Regardless of the results setting you have selected, if your opponent has on-map results turned off, you'll get that as well.

A more clear OOB dialog would be helpful, particularly knowing how many men are actually on-map. The OOB dialog only shows units of a certain size, and it doesn't show HQ's, which can be confusing as HQ's can also be combat units in the game. That's my main problem with it: the strength totals don't add up with what it actually shows, as some units are hidden.
