why are they staying like that.... it shoots, then doesnt go-away...?

did you put down cinimatic battle masters or regular ones?
Did you mod the W3D files?

i used the regular ones, Because i never understood what the cinimatic units did.

hide them by the map.ini
I also have encounter similar problem several times.

...and how do i do that?

learn basic ini coding dude, or you will never can make advanced custom maps.

I see what you did there

I don't know much about map.ini coding, but I modified CodeCat's coding for the Terrorist War Fortress shell to fit the Battlemaster tank. Create a text file called map.ini, paste the following code inside it, then put this file into your map's folder.

Object ChinaTankBattlemaster

  ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
	Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override
	  ConditionState = NONE
		Model = UITRST_SKN
		Animation = UITRST_SKL.UITRST_ADTE2
		AnimationMode = LOOP
	  End
	End
  End
  ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
	Draw = W3DTankDraw ModuleTag_01
	  OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
	  DefaultConditionState
		Model			   = NVBtMstr
		Turret			  = Turret01
		WeaponFireFXBone	= PRIMARY Muzzle
		WeaponRecoilBone	= PRIMARY Barrel
		WeaponMuzzleFlash   = PRIMARY MuzzleFX
		WeaponLaunchBone	= PRIMARY Muzzle
		HideSubObject	   = MUZZLEFX01
	  End
	  ConditionState = REALLYDAMAGED
		Model			   = NVBtMstr_D
		Turret			  = Turret01
		WeaponFireFXBone	= PRIMARY Muzzle
		WeaponRecoilBone	= PRIMARY Barrel
		WeaponMuzzleFlash   = PRIMARY MuzzleFX
		WeaponLaunchBone	= PRIMARY Muzzle
		HideSubObject	   = MUZZLEFX01
	  End
	  ConditionState = RUBBLE
		Model			   = NVBtMstr_D
		Turret			  = Turret01
		HideSubObject	   = MUZZLEFX01
	  End
	  TrackMarks			  = EXTnkTrack.tga
	End
  End
End

This is a replace module for the battlemaster's art coding, which forces the game to hide the muzzle flash object on the 3d model. Make sure that you are using the China Battlemaster tank, not Nuke General's or any of the other ones. Otherwise you will need to change the object name to the correct one. Or you could make four copies of this, one for each individual battlemaster tank.

Also note that this will make your map incompatible with mods that modify the appearance of the battlemaster tank in any way.
