Hi DOn
Well the question of MG34 range has certainly been brought up several times before and now finally in this thread that topic receives the attention it deserves.
I am hoping that this signifies the dawning of a new age or rapprochement, and in that frame of mind Im hoping that the 12.7m calibre might also get its correct range, 30 hexes.
That subject is discussed in this thread.

It a confusing thread but as far as I can make out no unrefuted justification for the 12.7 calibres extra range is given other than that it is a 'design' decision. Design decision still doesnt answer why the extra range is allowed.
I think its just a matter of someone seeing 2000m as the 50 cal area target range and not seeing the 1500m point range. And putting it in the game without any further thought, however as the game has evolved and especially since HMGs got the peculiar artillery style blast zone its become I think a major unwarrented advantage to the Allies vis a vee the Axis.
It might also have been mentioned elsewhere I cant be sure but its clearly incorrect, "hisorically"
Best regards Chuck
