I have some ground forces here, that refuse to fire on enemies, if they are to close, like about 5meters.

The codes look ok, nothing special with them.

 

    <Space_Layer> Land </Space_Layer>
    <UnitCollisionClass> Infantry </UnitCollisionClass>
    <FormationSpacing> .6 </FormationSpacing>
    <MinimumPushReturnDistance> 10 </MinimumPushReturnDistance>
    <OverrideAcceleration> .1 </OverrideAcceleration>
    <OverrideDeceleration> .1 </OverrideDeceleration>
    <FormationOrder> 2 </FormationOrder>
    <FormationGrouping> Standard </FormationGrouping>

    <Scale_Factor>1.5</Scale_Factor>
    <Affiliation>Underworld</Affiliation>
    <Required_Timeline>0</Required_Timeline>
    <IsBuildable>Yes</IsBuildable>
    <Size_Value>10</Size_Value>
    <Armor_Type> Armor_Infantry </Armor_Type>
    <Damage>6</Damage>
    <Tactical_Health>80</Tactical_Health>
    <Blob_Shadow_Below_Detail_Level>3</Blob_Shadow_Below_Detail_Level>
    <Blob_Shadow_Scale>10.0, 10.0</Blob_Shadow_Scale>
    <Blob_Shadow_Material_Name>Generic_Shadow</Blob_Shadow_Material_Name>
    <Blob_Shadow_Bone_Name>B_Chest</Blob_Shadow_Bone_Name>
    <Create_Team>Yes</Create_Team>

    <Projectile_Types>Proj_Hand_Blaster_Red</Projectile_Types>
    <Projectile_Fire_Pulse_Count>5</Projectile_Fire_Pulse_Count>
    <Projectile_Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>0.1</Projectile_Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>
    <Projectile_Fire_Recharge_Seconds>1.5</Projectile_Fire_Recharge_Seconds>

    <Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Infantry, 1.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>
    <Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Vehicle, 5.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>
    <Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Air, 70.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>
    <Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Structure, 5.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>

    <Targeting_Max_Attack_Distance>120.0</Targeting_Max_Attack_Distance>
    <Dense_FOW_Reveal_Range_Multiplier>1.0</Dense_FOW_Reveal_Range_Multiplier>
    <Ranged_Target_Z_Adjust>7.0</Ranged_Target_Z_Adjust>

 

What I am not sure about is this:

    <MinimumPushReturnDistance> 10 </MinimumPushReturnDistance>

 

Anyone an idea, why my units arent good at close combat?

Did you try  this code line:
