I noticed this for the first time fighting a battle in some dry-lands of India. My line infantry (and grenadiers) would start shooting (on autofire) while the enemy (Marathas) was still miles away (way out of target range). By the time, the enemy approached, my line had wasted half the ammo already (I did not turn it off on purpose, just to see what would happen and if there were no hidden units approaching).
I had observed before that the light infantry tend to waste their ammo shooting at out of range targets, but this was the first for the line infantry doing the same. On top of that, light infantry does the star shooting exercise AFTER the enemy has exited the range; this time, the line was doing it BEFORE the enemy had approached. Weird.
Anyone else has seen something similar?
