[Panzer Lehr]

I’ve run into this a few times with US TDs and it’s usually not spotting itself but engagement logic. Overwatch tends to make veteran crews more selective, not less — they wait for a clean firing solution and will often choose smoke if they feel exposed and don’t like the odds. The M36 especially is cautious because it knows it can’t trade hits.

What helped me was giving a narrow armor target arc and slightly adjusting hull facing so the gun is already close to the expected threat axis. Once they get that first engagement off, they behave much more aggressively.

In my experience they’re not refusing to fire — they’re refusing to take a bad shot.
