What should be noted is the quite dramatic drop in first shot hit % when range goes above 300m. Something that does not happen with missiles, at least not that clearly). Also, when the targets were 150m away on field (if it has any cover value?) the hit % on first shot was really low (23%)!

1) 300m just happens to be 1/2 or more max weapon range (12 hexes, 600m) - so accuracy drops off there somewhat for any non-missiles.
2) TA-HEAT is
not an ATGM weapon - TA-ATGM would be.
3) Fields
do provide some cover (esp for infantry) - the crops obscure vision like tall grass.
As I said before - the NLAW really needs to be in a new missile class of its own. (Or, the possibility for VIRSS and CIWS needs to be screwed right down for reaction to very close range missile shots - vehicle dodging is already difficult if the missile launch is from < 20 hexes/1000 yards). When I look at the code again for the next release around Xmas time, I'll have a look into these short-range semi-guided weapons.
