Why

[Aured]

I think there's some sort of glitch with my "target light" option:

>Playing Canadian campaign

>soldiers running into building under supression fire

>specifically tell covering section to use light fire

>press cease fire

>overwatch section immediately fires a few grenades and a rocket into building

>3 wounded canadians

>happens again and again

>sustain twice as many losses as i would have if there were no friendly fires

I can confirm that bug. Seen this happen many times. However i am usually not assaulting rooms that have a confirmed enemy inside, IMO it is better to clear them from the outside, so it isnt causing much trouble for me.

It's more for suspected enemy positions for me. I'm going to engage these before hand and try to move infantry up from the side. When the infantry reaches the building, I cease fire and send the section at the side in as quick as possible.

Any more direct routes, or buildings that can't be suppressed I just avoid completely, but keep an eye on with a machine gun or IFV.

It worked extremely well in the Strength & Faith scenario, with no friendly losses whatsoever and 200 enemy casualties.

However, this was due in heavy part to enormous armor and artillery support. In scenarios without these, MOUT is a nightmare specifically because of this bug.
