It should do counter battery fire automatically, although i think there are some chance factors that will determine if it finally happens.

Unit quality factors might also influence that but I do not have details here.
As mentioned need same or greater range.
Unit experience helps detect the enemy battery faster, low 80s experience seems to be when they start getting quite good.
Dont know mechanics probably check each turn with an experience modifier.

Unit needs to be idol no fire missions or movement then wait till the game decides you have detected something & it will counter battery fire.

To prevent counter battery fire at you dont fire arty continually you will get detected quicker. 2-3 salvos then stop for a turn with that unit. Though vs high experience units that may be late they may get you on the first salvo.
