This is a bug which results in the loss of function for Gatling APC's anti-ground weapon, when the vehicle is promoted to heroic level.
If a Gatling APC reaches heroic level (highest unit level), its ground attack no longer deal any damage to any ground targets.
The fire animation and texture remain normal.
Chain Gun, Patriotism or other upgrades do not affect this issue (prior or after).
A heroic Gatling APC's anti-air damage and fire rate improvement from the veterancy promotion still works normally.
In this case, a heroic Gatling APC can only work as an air-defense unit.
Infantry General can no longer use it to suppress enemy light ground units whenever these APCs reach heroic. He will need to use Dragon Tanks or Assault Crawlers etc. Or another new Gatling APC to continue suppression, which is kind of awkward.
I think this is a bug that worth noticing and needs to be fixed in the next patch, if there will be any.
