No.
Small Turret Ranges: Missile (200); Railgun (250); Blaster (about 5...)
Large Turret Ranges: Missile (250); Railgun (300); Blaster (150-200, some falloff, not sure.)
Now, those are their maximum ranges, their effective ranges (as in this ranges they are actually useable in) are fairly short: small turrets are limited to about 100m, large missiles and blasters roughly the same with large railguns only really able to shoot at their longest range because of their zoom.
So really, no, Swarms don't need a lock-on range buff and especially not up to 250m.

Your reasoning is incredibly flimsy and anecdotal. Swarms are still useful as additional AV and can solo careless vehicles. The range buff isn't needed.

Typical troll logic, say something inane "muh 100m" and then declare yourself victor 5 minutes later without evidence or responding to any part of my argument, your the one that was flimsy.
Please show me some real, solid evidence that vehicles can effectively use small turrets beyond 100m and we'll talk. And I'm talking actually using them properly, not just sitting a parked dropship on a tower - a pilot-controlled small railgun/missile on an ADS (side turrets are 2+ players and fall under different circumstances); large blasters and missiles used to completely demolish infantry outside of reprisal range.
Show me statistics and/or videos for why the change is needed. Don't be a b**** who 'declare yourself the victor' - you've given only personal opinion on why such a change is needed.
Show your working.
