Minor correction: the Finnish pieces were Mk VI with L/15 barrels (by British definition), which really had a maximum range of less than 10,000 meters. The range I gave above is for the Marks VII & VIII, which had an L/17 barrel.

For the Mk VI the range given by Wikipedia and Landships II is 9,825 meters, 9,500 meters by Jaeger Platoon (with somewhat worn barrels), so range in the game should definitely not be more than 200.

Yes, it's just a 1 point difference in the game, but in relative sense the difference is more than 10%, which I thought was a bit much to be explained by normal source variation even when I originally wrote it.
