Attack range

I have come upon a very peculiar problem. I'm trying to set the attack range of a tank unit I've created based off of the steam tank. However, when I set it to the value I want, such as 900 or 1150, the range in game doesn't change, and it continues to attack from about 450 units away, which looks real stupid for a tank to be doing. Other units dont have this problem in game, for example the mortar infantry I have created can attack from 1150 away. Does anyone know why this happens?

Set its aquistion range to 1150 and it shall work.

You're either looking at an aquisation range problem, or maybe ur putting in the wrong Range slot. There are a few things with 'range' in it. Make sure its under the right type of attack, since all units have two 'Attack' abilities (1 & 2). So, make sure everything is right, it shouldnt cause too much of a problem. If you need more specific info, feel free to ask. Hope that helps ;D

It usually is. Remember people, you cant set the range of a unit to be longer than its aquisition range.
