AI cannot account for the increased loading time of artillery in ships. When artillery tries to load, it gets caught in a loop trying to repeatedly load.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

No no. Someone got really upset when a top level player microed their ships on the coast of a map in a tournament. We can’t have that demonstration of skill.
