Now quite a few of my units are banging away with all their weapons. I had a M2A4 with experience of 51 cut loose on a SNLF infantry unit at about 100-150 yards with all three of its MGs.

My question is this, is there a difference in the programming when the computer tells weapon X to fires in meters and when it tells weapon X to fire in yards?

Select your preference in the Game Options -> Misc Tab -> Show ranges in <choice> (a rolling toggle - click till you see your desired unit - metres, hexes, yards).

Cheers

No
You seem stuck on this, as well as the check mentioned above units & I am assuming this will not take the shot if little chance of hitting/damaging. If it was stationary probably would have fired, if moving & no giro little chance of hitting so it did not bother. In your turn as its now stationary all will most likely fire. Firing from a moving vehicle in this era takes skill & your units are low experience.

Re: Weapons not firing correctly??

The only difference is the wording of the message. Yards and Meters are treated as equal and the message is really cosmetic for those who are used to one system of measurement or the other. One hex is 50 yards and or Meters.

Restarting the game may be the reason things appeared to change.
