NGP^85: Range fire Soviet and NATO tanks?

[Aaron]

Dont think its wrong or right that its 1 or 2 hexes, i think its borderline on which way it can go, in later years the T-72 did get upgrades with some improved fire control so i think your looking at what year and which model of the T-72. For reference 1 mile=1609 meters but that would mean your unit would have to be on the edge of its hex to reach 2 hex away in older models.
Look at the Hellfire, it has a range of 8000 meters but in the game a 2 hex limit for various reasons of game values and its not the desert, your not going to get a shot at that distance most of the time in central europe, but i can c it having a 3 hex range.The M1 and leopard 2 would be borderline 3 hex range. A note on the M1 in iraq is even though it was destroying t-72 at 4000m range the t-72 the iraqs use is the export version and actually has less armour on it than a soviet production model and i dont believe a M1 would destroy a soviet model at 4000m. It would be more like 3000m.
