USA Patriots can shoot on ground units well beyond their expected range when the structure receives damage about generalsgamepatch HOT 5 OPEN

This bug is for all patriots.

I looked into this and found no way to fix this by just editing .ini files (without removing the feature completely).

Until Patriot weapon switching is fixed, imho, the best would be to remove assisting entirely.
If that is unacceptable, then close this issue with "Executable".

There must be some weapon range or vision range that dials the max shooting range no?

I'll post this here as well:

I don't think the feature should be removed as it is a defining feature of the Patriot, but something should be done about it

Here's my suggestion:

Make Patriots not require line of sight to reduce the situations where Patriot's sight is blocked
Reduce assist weapon range so it can't reach artillery (unsure about this, as this might also trigger the bug)
Reduce assist weapon damage to 50% or even 33% of the default weapon
It's not a perfect solution, but imo it's better than completely removing it

Well, perhaps it can be removed for the Laser Turret, since that thing is already OP
