The Iraqi crews should not, would not, did not fire at those ranges with this kind of accuracy in this scenario.
Anyway, so I think Steves308 was comparing, in this scenario the accurate fires of the Iraqi crews to those of Rommel's.
I would suggest we look at Searching and Hitting in Preferences. While playing this campaign, at least thus far in the first battle at Khafji, Searching was set at 250% and Hitting at 100%. 250% maybe way too high for the Iraqi and should as Suhiir suggests in her post, although in this scenario vision is set at 70 (not nighttime nor in blowing sand conditions, be set around 90 to 100%. Additionally, Arty Effectiveness is a mere 10%, and generally Iraqi Preference values: Rout/Rally, Troop Quality, Tank Toughness, and Infantry Toughness may need reexamination in light of the ineptness of Iraqi forces in the first Gulf War.
It could very well be the case, that to model the technological advantage enjoyed by the American side, as a multiplier in this scenario, adjusting the Preference numbers maybe the way to go.

I checked the copy I have and everything is set to 100%....... that said I have resaved every scenario in an attempt to correct a DAT file issue and I thought perhaps I may have reset them with the save ( I never adjust these so this kind of issue has never come up for me ) so I reloaded the original campaign and extracted it to a new Campaign folder and fired up the game and all the preference values I see are at 100%.......so ......does anyone else see wildly out of adjustment preference values when they load this campaign??

Interesting. I normally do not change Preference values either. In this campaign, I took your advice from an earlier post and saved all other campaigns to a campaign hold folder, only this campaign shows in my campaign folder. Now, I'm mystified, "...stupefied, terrified... mortified... petrified..." as how those values turned up in this campaign.
To be clear only the Iraqi Searching was set at 250%. Even after adjusting Searching to 90% three Type 69-II's scored hits at 2400-2700mm. So, maybe we'd have to go lower than 90% to approximate the dismal performance of the Iraqi crews in the First.
