why is it troops don't go over fences?
 

why is it you can direct a soldier to jump a fence when you get the little orange curved arrow thing, but if you instruct a soldier to go to a location, he walks AROUND, sometimes a laughably long way, instead of simply go direct and jump the fence/wall/whatever?

damn annoying when you send someone somewhere and turn your attention to something else and come back a few seconds later to find him dead cos he ran a stupid way and met some enemy?

Its because your troops are just that plain idiotic......ive told them to hop fences to and some will and like 1 dude tries to run around it, I just move my others away and have a hellva time getting that one guy to just hop it which is retarded seeing how like 10 others had done it right before him haha

Thats just the way it is.

it's an omission in the AI.
