Try to grasp the basics first, most of which are obvious if you put yourself in that situation.
The faster you move the harder it is to detect units & the less accurate your shots are. Being suppressed also effects accuracy & detection.
Coming to grips with how units function when they are under AI control takes a bit of learning, it will suddenly come to you.
They do take threat level & the chance to hit into account.
Example a squad with an RPG that has a range of 10.
It will open fire at different ranges dependant on the situation.
If its stationary it fill fire at a greater range than if its moving as the fire is more accurate.
In good order or suppressed the same applies as suppression effects accuracy.
It might well open fire versus a tank at greater range than an APC because the tank is more of a threat.
Armoured vehicles work the same way a tank if it is capable of killing its target will open fire on another tank at a greater range than the APC as its not a threat.
With vehicles in particular learning what the different information covers will let you understand what they do & why they do it.
Penetration vs armour gives you an idea of the treat level involved.
Things like Giros, Fire Control Laser rangefinders affect the accuracy of the shot, higher is better. When you grasp these facts you have a good idea why units react as they do. Try getting an idea of a units capabilities once you do you can predict how its likely to react.
2 identical tanks except one has a better giro, the better giro will make the tank more accurate when its moving.
A better range finder will be more accurate at range.
Better fire control makes hitting moving targets easier.
Bit daunting at first but you will get a light bulb moment.
