AI often doesn't use cover ( 7,8 key-algorithm) - why?

I often use this great 7 or 8 comand to put my troops into better cover. As this algorithm works great, why doesn't the AI use it more often? In (very roughly estamated) 80% they stand close to a cover (fence etc, but they don't move there. I often have to do it myself (order 7). That would give me a better AI opponent too.
I think this 7 or 8 should be more of a standard move for the AI.
Please tune this. For example 200 yards before the actual target point of the regiment go into the 7 routine.

Totally true observation, totally appropriate suggestion.

There are cases where it does, but I admit they are rare. I agree that it should use it more. I could spend a year just working on AI, it would be very fun for me :)

It's something that never ends... 1 yr is really nothing. :)

One thing is sure it's already competent as it is now but if you make it more competent you could apply for NASA. :)
