Assassination Target: Panzy mode...

...when did they add panzy mode to the assassination targets? Now sometimes they like to run off to a dropship upon first contact with my lance. Can the panzy mode at least wait until they are actually losing? Having to try and yolo through an entire army of units to chase down one single mech is a bit dumb......basically having to play suicide to win the mission.....when did this game get so special?

Another skill issue

It's been in the game for quite for quite a long time. If you can't quickly dispose of the designated targets, then what's the point of even hiring you?

How long is "Its been in the game for awhile? Cuz ive played through all the expansions.....and assassination is actually one of my favorite contracts to take cuz its kinda chill, soooooo, yeah.

I might only have 300 hours on Steam, but ive got many more hundreds from EGS and atleast 10 full completions of the campaign, never seen them run away...... Also, "quickly" shouldnt mean "immediately" lol.......need atleast a couple minutes to fight through the wave of enemies that pop up.

Does career mode add in all the conditions, vs a campaign playthrough that leaves some stuff out? CUz ive never played career mode until very recently.....

There are two types of "assassination" mission contracts: the eponymous "Assassination" one and also the "Targeted Kill" one which is a DLC exclusive (LotKL). Not sure if the "opfor's tactical retreat" is an exclusive thing in either of them, but can surely say that I've seen that kind of behaviour from the enemies more than once.
