Hold Fire

The following change was to address the issue of vehicles revealing themselves with their secondary weapons against both land and ground targets. Secondary weapons will not auto-engage unless hold-fire is de-activated. The only exceptions to this rule are the Brummbar and Dozer which excel in attack-ground micro. Their MGs will still target infantry that are within range when hold-fire is active.

Now applies to all weapons on a vehicle
Brummbar and Dozer Pintle MGs will still target infantry on hold-fire; they will not auto-target aircraft.

Is it possible to give vehicles a similar "Forced Reload" ability? Units like the Ostwind, and basically any unit with an MG can be left in a position where they only have a few rounds left in a magazine/belt, and can then be left reloading at inopportune times.

I'm not sure if it's been suggested as well, but giving AT-equipped infantry a "prioritise vehicles" button, and units such as MGs a "hold fire" button, without them first needing camouflage. Sometimes it can be beneficial to allow an unit to get further into an arc before you begin shooting.

“There’s no warning they’ve been used against you”

You mean aside from the flares that light up the whole area and are impossible to miss?

They're two different units. Why would they share the same cooldown?
