need help, fire by rank

[accretiaV2]

Hi I'm fairly new at this and I tried making all the rifle using units in fall of the samurai have the rank fire ability but whenever I activate it in combat the units doing rank fire always says that it is not in combat and also the unit that is being fired upon so there doesn't seem to have any effects on the morale of the unit being fired upon even when they're losing men left and right. Is there something that I missed so that it will behave like how a matchlock ashigaru does when it is using rank fire and also is it possible to reduce or even remove the delay cause by rank fire?

Strange. Theoretically, it would suffice to simply add the rank_fire ability for every Boshin firearms unit to units_to_unit_ability_junctions table. It did work in my mod before I removed that ability again.
Errors in CA games are not surprising though. The enemies general loves suicidal attacks and units in light infantry behaviour mode sometimes stand up and crouch continuously before shooting at the enemy.
Probably CA's fault, as usual.
