German anti-tank rifles will not fire indirectly. You get the message "bad shot" whenever you try to do so.
German flamethrower teams will not fire indirectly either, they go to thier pistols for indirect fire.
How can I enable these units to fire indirect?

I'm just looking at data files now and there are settings for Fire Direction AP/HE/HEAT/Smoke/Spec with an entry -1/0/1 to reference Can't Fire/Direct/Indirect.
I'd guess you'll need to change the weapons to be able to fire with the characteristics you want? I can't open .adb files at the moment otherwise I'd check the mods data files myself.
There's also a weapon "Type". "8" should provide indirect Mortars. Maybe changing the AT Rifle so that it registers as a mortar would get it to work?
EDIT:
I might be being a dumb here. Are you asking about firing with a line of sight or without?
If it is indirect fire on an area with a green line of sight then it could be the Primary and Valid Target settings? 0 = Infantry, 1 = Vehicle, 2 = Terrain in Primary and you'd need setting 7 to cover all in Valid Target. Again looking at data files it should still allow you to fire at the environment even if not set as 7 in Valid Target.
A bit odd...

If you try this file out: https://mega.nz/#!qcUgVKZR!ZZJ9CQLwETcPDRtRatkEMDC7b4m7S5uElnFNTClWeNg unpack to the Data/Base folder (back up original first)
The German Flamethrowers and AT Rifles now match the Soviet's in terms of valid targets. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll try directly swapping the data from the Soviet weapons in their entirety and we'll know if the issue is with the weapons.adb then or somewhere else.
CC5 is a pain in the arse as it used .adb file instead of .txt. You'll need to use a program like QClone to open them. It doesn't seem to like operating systems after XP though.
Let me know how that goes and we'll go from there

Alright... ATR still shows bad shot. I think there a few types of German ATRs?
As for flamethrower.. I went back and tried with original weapons file and they would indirectly fire this time. Maybe it was some other variable like experience, intel or morale affecting them using primary weapon.

I'm just trying to set up a virtual machine so I'll be better able to look through the files.
ScnelleMeyer might be onto something though as there were differences in range values between the German and Soviet flamethrowers.

PzBusche 783r
The image shows an example of the bad shot message I get. When you hover over the gun in the force pool screen its labelled as PTRD. The PTRD will engage a tank at around 130m. If I tell the PTRD to fire into the ground at 130m I get bad shot. All ranges indicate bad shot when aiming at terrain or men. It will fire on guns.
Russian PTRS and PTRD will fire indirect.
German Granatbüchse 39, Panzerbüchse 39 will fire indirect.
When I looked in QClone there is only one entry for PTRD and no entry for PzBusche 783r which is confusing...

No changes at all. I downloaded the mod, manually sorted the files and put them in the CCV directory and ran the game. Had you needed to change and files or data due to problems with the mod previously?
Glad it's working for you We must be on a roll. I'd had a headache getting parts of the CC4 sound mod working but that's sorted too!
Are the flamethrowers working ok?

Ok I am not sure whats going on. I have not edited the ADB file at all. Switched back to the original from the plugin and its working there also. Yes FTs work.
I noticed the bug first in multiplayer but was able to duplicate it in SP. I will see if I can reproduce is back in MP.

You are not suppose to indirect fire with them, they are not HE. This from the cc1 manual.
Bad Shot: Soldier has a shot that is a waste of ammunition
Using Indirect Fire
When you’re using mortars and rockets, you will see an orange line
instead of a red or green line stretching to your target as you point to it.
A brown line indicates that the target is not in the line of sight. This
tells you that it is indirect fire—you are lobbing explosives at your
target instead of firing at it directly. An orange order dot appears on the
combat screen above the target for mortars. With indirect fire, accuracy
depends on the experience of your team, as well as whether it can
actually see the target from its position. Although you don’t need a clear
line of sight to hit a target using indirect fire, you have a greater chance of
hitting your target if you can see it.
If a green or red line appears, your team is out of mortar rounds or
rockets; they’re now essentially an infantry team.
Did you try it with a higher skill level like veteran to see if they can?

In hopes of fixing your problem though here's the weapons.adb I installed and have the weapons working on:
