Is there some way I can edit one of the data files to give my snipers range beyond 80 meters? and eliminate that AT capability?

I play mostly as the Soviets, but it looks like the German scharfshutze are the same too.
This is from a screenshot I took of the Russian sniper armed with the SVT-40 in Berlin:

They do seem to have AT ability... but so far for me won't take a shot at an armoured vehicle "we can't hurt that" if ordered to do so.

Snipers were left on defend and chose their marks.

Previous battle fire orders were followed willingly.

Status: offline 		OK this is really odd. I tried it again, on the first map. When the German machine gun team popped up over the hill about 210 meters away, I ordered the sniper to shoot and he did.
But then the MG hid behind a tree, and when he popped out the other side, I ordered him to shoot again. This time, the message said "We can't hurt that" and the audio "his armor's too thick!"





The same MG team, moved only 10 or 15 meters, same order, two different results.

Just played the same scenario

I finally received that same  message - said "We can't hurt that" and the audio "his armor's too thick!"

But the sniper fired and made kills without problem at 250+ metres....  seems like a small bug with voice/text cue.

I just saw that when I was placing the 'Fire' order, the distance was displayed in black lettering which generally means the unit can't shoot that far, and I heard the "armor's too thick" audio, so I assumed that something was wrong with snipers and there was no use for them.
