Summary:
Ranged AI is having trouble tracking targets and different types of troops have different behaviours, here is what I've noticed so far:
Horse Archers - When their target is at the HA left side and past the middle of its body, the HA will aim its bow all the way to the right. If the horse direction is adjusted and the angle to the target puts it at the front half then aiming resumes correctly, but it might let loose right after moving and the penalty will throw the aim off.
Foot soldiers with throwing weapons - If you order a foot soldier to move while in range of their throwing weapon, it will still aim and throw its weapon in the direction the body is facing. It seems to get the Y axis right, but the X will be wherever it is looking while moving.
Foot archers/crossbowman - Haven't tested those yet.
How to Reproduce:
Horse archers - It is observable in Custom Battles using any order that reproduces the summary, you can order the HA to charge and follow it.
Foot soldiers with throwing weapons - Observable in Custom Battles, order the troop to move in any direction that would make it face away from the enemy while still in range to use the throwing weapon.
Foot archers/crossbowman - No unusual behaviour has been observed yet.
