Range of 20mm autocannon Empty Range of 20mm autocannon

Are we playing this right - it seems to have "all table" range, which makes it a much more effective weapon than most other small caliber weapons like 37mm etc.

Is this right, or have we misread it in some shape or form.

If right, does this make the German armoured cars potentially quite useful, as they can suppress targets well outside the ranges they can be shot back at, by things like Russian light tanks etc

Thanks

It has a range of 50" as it states on the Small Arms chart.

HE 50-70" per data sheet - is that an error then?

Would be great if it is as we found the super long range pinning a tad unrealistic

No... all charts show HE over the entire chart as it's the same value.

It still doesnt go further than the weapons maximum range though.

Excellent - I knew we were doing it wrong - just couldn't prove it to myself. Thanks Piers
