The AI will not use Sensor Lock unless one of the Player's Lance has acted before the AI's turn.
If I take a turn with one unit, then reserve, they will lock the acted unit and no others. If I move two units, both will get locked. If I move no units and reserve past the AI, no units will get locked and the AI will advance and Brace.
This was full stock short of debug logging edits, no ECM is in play. I think I forgot to enable AI logging for the "move one" and "move two" rounds (loaded from save on the "move none") but the setup below will describe how to replicate this.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Skirmish, unlimited, The Stacks
Player Lance:
4x SDR, any pilots
AI Lance:
(AI must be loaded in this order from top down)
2x CDA-3C
2x CN9-A
All pilots with Sensor Lock, no Arclight.
Move all 4 SDRs behind the large center plateau to LoS will be blocked. AI will make contact and the Player's Lance will move first in Phase 4 ahead of the all Phase 3 mediums.
No move:
Reserve all to Phase 3.
AI will advance, but not gain LoS or use Sensor Lock.
One Move:
Move one unit by standing in place in Phase 4, then reserve the rest.
AI will Lock that one unit, other CDA will move and Brace, not locking anything, CN9s will IDF target.
Two Move:
Move two units by standing in place in Phase 4, then reserve the rest.
AI will Lock one unit, other CDA may lock the other moved unit, CN9s will IDF targets.
