MG can't fire from sandbags

[Swant]

Im trying to fire with a MG team deployed in a sandbag fortification. The Mg team is just crawling around, trying to get in position but they never do. Same thing is happening when Im jusing a cover arc, they are crawling around trying turn the MG but cant.

The issue seems to be that they can only set up in a specific direction, and they can fire in that direction but not in any other.

They are deploying the MG in one direction even if I first use a cover arc in another direction.

I haven't seen this beavior in Battle for Normandie, just Forces Italy

 

Does this happen to somebody else or did I mess up my install?

This seems to happen when the main gunner happends to share a "sandbagslot" with another guy in the same team.

So, does that mean that sometimes things are OK and other times not?

Yes, sometimes there is no problem at all, sometimes the problems start when they are ordered to face

another direction.

Sometimes the AI struggles to deploy a team-served weapon when space is tight. Happens in field corners with ATGs mostly, but if there are insufficient good places for a large HMG crew to hunker down behind the sandbags, I can see it being an issue. Often, this sort of cramming-in will result in one of the crew skedaddling away across the field.
