    BAF Scud Busters (snipers won't fire) blue slashed icon over snipers tab

    Hello,
    I'm referring to a single player scenario, in which the task is to kill a Scud launcher and dispatch all bogeys as well

    basically I had to do all the mission by myself, because the other two snipers in my team won't fire, and neither did the teammate that should have been covered us (of course they were not ordered to hold fire)

    thence I've supposed that this is a maybe a bug, so my very question is (as in title):

    over the teammates tabs there is a blue circled slashed eye, that I did not find what does it mean, and maybe my whole reply is there,

    thanks (and sorry if I missed it searching thr forums)

    ... I played the mission again, this time the team did its works correctly, no blue icon appeared

    may the slashed eye mean no line of sight?

    It means they are on stealth mode. I think they tend to open fire still with it but I suppose maybe only if they're spotted. I'm not sure precisely how it works anymore. If you switch them to combat they might engage more men. Also place them in positions where they have line of sight and you can assign them targets using 2, assuming that you or one of them have reported said targets.

    I just replayed this mission (for like the 15th time) on expert with SuperAI a few days ago, and my AI squadmates were particularly lethal in mowing down the enemy without any commands from me to do so. I never had to assign targets. They even took out the incoming technical by themselves. All I did was to order them to danger/combat mode and to go prone. Kick ass. One got killed, however.

    that's what happened also in my mission replay!
    by doing nothing about orders, just a few meters nearer to the target than on the first run, they did all by themselves, I did not fire a single shot (no superAI, expert level on both sides)
