Hey @Skeletory , I'm unable to replicate this on the latest version. If you encounter this again, can you please include a save from MegaMek where your field guns start unable to fire and your MekHQ campaign save from that time, and your logs? Thank you!

6 troopers is too few to operate one AC field gun let alone two. This may be a regression on the issue where infantry weren't repairing correctly.

@Skeletory as a workaround, you might try hiring troopers to get the unit up to full strength, or use GM mode to repair the unit fully.

First, need a campaign file.
Second, Field Gunner are move or shoot when using field guns. Move AND shoot when using auto rifles
Third, as stated above 6 troopers can not use any field gun above an AC/2

Best to provided a before and after campaign file to reproduce along with any custom units used.
