Point 3 has always been this way in Steel Panthers, from the original SSI incarnation on.

Crew experience determines whether or not the weapon is fired in addition to the slot 1 weapon. Slot number also seems to affect it (BMG are typically lower down than a coax).

On point 3,yes speed elavation,status ect. has alot influence.

Some tank mg guns have more distance IE: the Sherman vs Stuart,Sherman has better range.

Stuarts are deadly to infantry at around 250 meters.

Ready status means hatches are open,thus more visabilty,, suppressed means buttoned and much less visabilty

Point(2

No vehicle repairs within a ongoing battle,they are repaired in between useing repair pts..

If you have played SPWaW for a long time,this is something you will get used to.

One thing (among others) i did not like about SpWaW,is that an immoblized or damaged vehicle can magicaly come alive

not realistic in few hours time

I suspected as much. However, in WAW I liked getting unstuck as opposed to fixing combat immobilization. Having gotten stuck myself (car not AFV) I know it can be made unstuck within the timeframe of a scenario.

It's definitely not experience because I've had the same unit do all of the above. Sounds like movement or suppression are affecting it. I didn't pay close attention to those points when I noted the behavior.
