looks like a bug to me.

you had target in radar range and got energy. so it should have shown as grey box without hovering with mouse <- this is the bug. (when you hover with mouse it shows correctly darked out color ed2 shield gen)

tested it and 100% sure it was bugged for you.

also next time build 4x tech1 power generator around tech2 arty, because it gives adjacency bonus and it will fire faster(more dps) for very little cost.

Valki, do you use mods, like ui mod?

I didn't watch the replay, but i never realized that a structure which was upgraded cannot be attacked. I could definately send a bomber out to attack t2 mexxes, after they were upgraded, maybe thats because they get visual before bombing?

Nevertheless you should still be able to shoot at those targets without getting visual contact.

Groundfire should be a solution though.

Guess I didn't see that well.

Are there any other ways of getting vision (yes air scouts are cheap, but still)
- Would blinking my radar clear it up?
- Would groundfire have helped if I still clicked on the shield generator?

I did not try to groundfire,

here's the replay

I immediately set them to attack the shield generator, and did that a few more times - it took a while before I noticed it still didn't shoot the shields, but eventually I told them to attack structures near the shield generator.

I just played a game, lost, but my artillery would not target the enemy shield generator.

It would target pretty much everything else I wanted to attack, but not the shields.
Is this a known bug or was something else wrong? - The enemy shield generator was not 'blacked' as with destroyed structures.

I would probably not have won either if the arty had targetted the shields, but it certainly didn't help that it didn't.
