Artillery range annomalies.

As I understand, range 10 km = 200, and a surplus is added to 200 (eg. 2S1 Gvozdika: 15 km = 205, 2S19 Msta: 29 km = 219, M109A1: 23.5 km RAP = 214, M109A6: 30 km RAP = 220)

Krab: 40 km = should be 230
(Polish oob weapon #207 155mm L/52 and Ukrainian #115 oob is only 220)

K9: 41 km = should be 231
(S.Korean oob #124 155/52 FH is only 220; same for Finland #141 and probably whoever uses it)
(BTW: name of Korean unit 045 K-9 should be K9, for a consistency, and usually written this way)

PzH 2000: at least 40 km = 230 (or 54 km w/RAP = 244)
(German #112 155mm FH155-1 is only 215 - but it shares weapon with L/36 FH155-1, which has range only 30.1 km w/RAP according to German Wikipedia - which should be 221 anyway)
Same for Ukrainian #112, Hungarian #113, Greek #93 (used only by PzH2000), Netherlands #112 (shared with FH-70 and M-109).
Italian #144 is correct.

M109A1 + in British OOB: weapon #110 155mm M198 GH is 220, while it should be max 214 with RAP (23.5 km) (if they use RAP).

AS90 in Ukrainian OOB: weapon #141 has range 220, while it should be 24.7 km = 215. It shares weapon with FH-70, which should have the same range 24.7km actually (30.1 km only w/RAP)
In British OOB AS90 has correct range 215.
