I think to issue is caused from the camouflage ability. The camouflage is always enabled, but it will be removed in a few cases: Not being in cover or not in combat since x seconds. The last one is probably what causes your sniper to reveal himself after one shot.

Are you really gonna make a "Unit is UP" thread for each Soviet unit?
Rather make one thread "Ritter doesn't like Soviets", that's easier for me to ignore

Is there a weapon upgrade for empty hands?

Perhaps the action 'remove_weapon' can achieve that. Can you try that?

I meant the AI in the All units mod cannot see camouflaged units. Vanilla AI (hard + expert) can see all.

I see there are a lot of setting under fallback. I assume retreat capacity/health ratios tell the AI to run away when either their squad % or health gets to a certain point.

Is there a heal importance I can modify? All I see are time settings for when reinforcement fails.

The heal importance isn't part of the settings sadly. Unit preservation is the biggest weakness of the AI currently.

The AI itself isn't changed as far as I know, but changes on units does affect the AI behaviour indirectly because it seems to prefer units with a higher damage/cost value.

The ai_settings (easy in this exmaple): ai_settings\default_skirmish_easy has a value fallback/retreat_ratio. This is default on 0,1 and causes the AI to attack with low health units. I use 0,3 in my mod. The vision cheat is set in target_identification/detect_squad_in_fog_of_war and detect_squad_in_camoflauge (only for hard/hardest, hardest = expert)

ai_economy is very useful, but can also break their buildorder. A to low per_unit_scale can cause the AI to build fewer units in lategame. I'd recommend to set it on 1.

The utility has a greater effect. The default_squad_utility is set on 100. That means that all units which are not in your squads list have the utility of 100. If you want the AI to build more conscripts, then you can set it around 110 or 120 for that specific squad. The offset makes them less predictable and changes the utility slightly per match. I use an utility of 1 for units which I don't want to be constructed at all.
