Firstly: A quick check of the US Army OOB reveals that the US Sniper does not come with grenades. Actually the only weapon the sniper has is the sniper rifle. NB: As snipers are only one man THEY CAN ONLY USE one weapon, that in slot one.
SO: No one man unit can fire with other than slot one weapon - therefore no sniper (one man team) should be able to use grenades (even if you add them to the OOB).
OK, but then why Soviet Snipers have grenades? Or is this just in my OOB?
Secondly: I have found (playing US in U2R) that guns (57mm, MMG, etc, lose the ability to fire the slot one weapon although most were able to fire the lower slot (personal) weapons.
Strange, I've tried US 57mm, and it doesn't have secondary weapon. And it can move and fire it's primary gun. Same is with howitzers, they can move and then direct fire, but not indirect. In my games only MG's and mortars lose the ability to fire primary weapon after moving. And there is US 37mm AT gun, it has secondary weapon, but with zero rounds for it. Could it be that my OOB's are corrupted?
Talking about howitzers and mortars, why do they have minimum range only for indirect fire? Or again only my howitzers can fire on them selfs, and strangely not get any suppression from that.
Thirdly: I've played games where the defending AI has bought bunkers etc - so it does happen. Only defenders can buy field defences - try a "battle" game as the defender and they will be available (misc list).
Yes they are available, but AI refuses to buy them. I've done few tests with "battle game", and it looks that when ever germans are defending, AI will not buy forts. But for US or Soviets AI buys them. Maybe is german AI smarter, and knows that it can not place them as they should be, so it spends points on other stuff.

I know that AI should be very complex to place bunkers as expirienced player can, but I don't understand why sometimes it buys some stuff, leaves it at map edge, and then rushes with it forward. I've seen that he does this with SP mortars, and so he can not use them for indirect fire. Even when they are in rage to fire, they move for some strange reason.
