Just a little note to all who are arguing about pack howie. Squads that are retreating to base often have low health and members, so once once shot hit them (not even on top of the squad) they are pretty much dead.
Thats why pack howie firing every HEAT round (from safe distance ofcourse) to your HQ when you retreat may be annoying to deal with.
I don't see anything wrong with this.
I won engagement and now I'm trying to kill retreating squad.
We can say the same about retreating blob straight into Stuka zu fuss/katy/calliope/werfer barrage - same mechanism.
