I really like in the recent versions AI has become more effective at taking cover intelligently if there is some cover around it, really cool! Thanks a lot!

@Sevenfm: A particular issue which I observe since many revisions and could perhaps be improved: Calling artillery strike on enemy causes the enemy AI to enter deadlocks much more frequently. I see that the AI is programmed to run and get out of the artillery area as quickly as possible. This probably makes sense for the default artillery bombardment radius, which is very small. However, I have greatly increased the artillery radius manually. Could it be that this messes up with the AI algorithm?

Apart from that I am very happy with how I set up mortars and artillery strike in my game and I could recommend it to everyone, or even as default settings at the AI+ version (if it is possible of course): In addition to increasing the radius of artillery strike, I have strongly decreased the direct damage of mortars but increased the stun damage greatly. This makes them a lot more similar to how they are used in reality: Inaccurate area suppression and area denial - not homing missiles like in default JA2

With these settings, it makes more sense for AI to stay put and don't run around and expose themselves. So their behaviour could be tweaked accordingly in the case of above mentioned artillery settings becoming default in future versions.
