TBH the ranges in this game is far longer than another shooter i've played.

No matter how hard I try, with every infantry weapon, except the sniper rifles and forge guns, I just feel like we're playing paint ball because of the short ranges of the weapons.

Now I know that for the ranges I'm about to suggest, CCP will have to make a major fix on rendering distance and open the maps out, among other adjustments, so even if this were favored, I have my doubts it'll happen. Also, I'm sure a portion of the player base who believe all weapons should be CQC will QQ.

Weapon: Optimal/Maximum range in meters.

Flaylock Pistols: 30*
Scrambler Pistols: 40/60
Submachine Guns: 80/150**

Assault Rifles: 350/550
Sniper Rifles: 1050/1500
SWARM Launchers: 3000
Mass Drivers: 300*
Laser Rifles: 350-560/715
Shotguns: 50/100**
Scrambler Rifles: 420/605
Plasma Cannons: 750*

Forge Guns: 900/2400
Heavy Machine Guns: 800/1500**

*Fired ordinance is a self contained explosive. Damage will be the same at all ranges. Therefore optimal and maximum range is the same.
**This is the damage rate of an individual projectile from the weapon not an implication that dispersion should be reduced to enable every projectile to hit the target at stated range.

Let the debate, trolling, and QQ begin!

maybe try not being a redline carebear?

I think RAnges NEED to stay short since the Maps are WAY to OPEN.

If a RANGE in weapons would occur, then a Heavy increase in COVER for infantry PER MAP would be at hand...

Just imagine THE REDLINED BERRIES not being able to even show their faces ''550 mts'' behind the red line because a guy with a DUVOLLE will kill their ass... hmhmm...
AND I HEAVILY OPPOSE making maps bigger. As it is,except for vehicle Drivers, having to RUN 400-600mts to an objective is just madness...

One of the biggest mistakes CCP ever made was putting distance in a unit we can easily compare/understand.

I say this because this issue comes up a lot. People bring up GÇ£realism" blah blah and don't realize gameplay is more important than realism. Should of put all ranges in shaktars that way people stop the complaining.

If it makes you feel any better just start adding zeros, range of ARs is now 800m, shotguns 70m etc. Then we are playing on absolutely huge maps in gigantic 60m tall suits running 80m+ per sec because...it's the future.

Militia LAV/Dropship or a pilot team mate is the solution to that issue. This game is more about teamwork than lone wolfing.
