An annoying game "feature"

A 152mm going off 50m away and suppressing you makes sense.
Your own MG/AGL firing into into the adjacent hex doesn't.

Maybe jarheads are to dumb to be scared, but I played Rambo (fired an M60 MG from the hip) more then once at less then 50m and suppressed was the last thing I felt *chuckles*

Thanks for looking into this, it is a tad annoying.

My favorite (not) experience with this effect is rolling up next to a vehicle suppressed by small arms fire, with an APC containing an engineer. Eng hops out and assaults vehicle with flamethrower and/or satchel charge. Sometimes, own APC gets flambéed by blast.

Tell me about it.
In situations like this it often seems you're more likly to destroy the vehicle you just exited then the one you're assaulting. I suppose because it's "moving" and the other is "stationary". I've learned from (bad) experience, never use anything with an AoE near your own units.
