Against a dug in enemy, you might be rather unlikely to spot them before they open fire. Be prepared to take a couple of shots before being able to return the fire.

Spotting a dug-in and concealed enemy is not supposed to be easy in real life, either.

Thanks for your helpful advice,
I am learning to not be so bold!
It reminds me of an old WW2 flick i saw once(the title ecapes me)
A platoon of americans were set up for ambush in the woods,
A tank was advancing slowly with a scout walking slowly ahead.
The platoon leader made everyone hold fire till the tank was in close range,I suppose if i turned off weapons on scouts and infrantry "except for AT" in good cover might help.
