When im dashing, why is it sometimes enemies shoot where i am, and other times its where im going

I cant seem to work out what triggers this. Sometimes ill dodge 3 guys shooting 3 bullets each, and other times one of them will just shoot all 3 bullets so they hit me mid dash.

for the same reason you can see where enemies will be next turn. it goes both ways

But are the enemies simulated to be other humans playing against me?
Its not a PVP game, i dont really need them to play by the same rules as me.
I just need them to interact in a clear and consistent way. If the game says to me, use dash to dodge bullets, and the dude fires them where i dash to, that doesnt make for a great user experience.

If specific things trigger them suddenly honing in on you, indicate that to the player because randomly having it happen is frustrating.

I've finished the game, and I haven't encountered any enemies who predict my movement with ranged attacks. All the enemies with guns will fire directly at you. If you're too close, or you're dash ends mid turn, then they might hit regardless. There are some enemies later with rifles that fire fast projectiles that are hard to dodge, but they still aren't predictive.

They also have spread, so sometimes a bullet will go out to the side, which happens to be the direction I was going. If I was close to them, or running in a straight line, this often made it challenging to dodge on the next turn.

I started playing the game last week, and I've been having the same issue. Frequently when I dodge during the same turn as an enemy starts firing at me, the enemy will fire at the position where the dodge ends instead of firing at my position during the dodge.

I'm assuming this is a bug of some kind, because from what I've seen the enemy doesn't even track my movement during the dodge, as they do when moving normally; instead, they snap to aiming directly at the point I'm dodging to.

Well, all above of you just tell part of the truth.
When an enemy with a hand gun starts to attack you, he would shoot several bullets(most times 4 bullets) which are not of the same type.
Normally, 3 bullets are toward where you currently are and the last 1 is going across the way ahead of you——it might hit you if you stop too early because of your executing of the plan which decided a relatively short moving.
So I suggest you just move as far as you can.

Leading depends if you are within line of sight of the enemy or not. They will attempt to lead you when you are moving, even if you are dashing, based on your current velocity - this is why curving your movement can help you dodge.
