I have NOT noticed this but now I'm curious and will go check myself.
You do have the 'Fire by Rank' technology right?
I've noticed a couple of times that some units (even recruited after I got that technology) only used the first two rows while in some of my units all the men were firing.
P.S. I usually put my infantry in rows of four. Having a longer line of fire from my infantry has dealt me ridiculous victories over the enemy in Very Hard.

This is a new feature, unique to the latest patch. It's really useful, was so annoying when elite units would only fire in platoons just before cavalry crashes into them.

i thought it was depndant on where the cavalry was charging from. for instance if they come at you directly to the front, i think your guys (if they can) will fire by rank. Although if the cavalry comes from the side i think everyone just tries to get as many shots off as possible.
