Re: 12.7mm does it deserve the range?
(a TO&E question, so moved to the correct forum.)
It is done for game purposes.
Apart from APCR/Sabot/AP shell no. 2, weapons have one (1) range for HE and AP. If we made cannon ranges greater, then thier AP characteristics would be seriously altered. Cannon use AP rounds as a matter of course. MG use HE AP factors.
The game does give you area fire - please refer to "Z Fire" which is also able to be fired through smoke etc in this game, unlike the original (but witout the laser-like accuracy).
Cheers
