Ofcourse they should have.

Though if they do then they should use it when appropriate, which is something AI never does in RTW/BI which is very strange, after all the missile units can do so it can't be that difficult to program.

Just one of those things - TW series is great overall but there small and easily corrected mistakes here and there like this one that are very frustraing. I am hoping the game (and the devs!) have matured enough by now not to let that happen again
