Arbitrary Weapon Range	comment	Weapons used on an atmosphere-bearing planet (like the one you live on) will suffer air resistance, gravity and other restricting factors. In a video game, however, your gun, bow, cannon, or even energy weapon may not behave as if those conditions are in place. Its projectiles will zoom in a straight line to their maximum effective distance, dictated by nothing other than the designers' decision, and then vanish. Relatedly, all weapons in space have unlimited range, but ship-mounted weapons will experience the same thing. Weapons having a maximum effective range makes sense, due to light diffusion, accuracy issues, or information delay, but these reasons aren't always specified; often, laser beams are immediately cut off and bullets disappear when they reach maximum range. By the same token, some weapons (especially artillery and siege weapons) have a minimum range, within which it is a lot less effective or unable to fire at targets at all. If an enemy manages to get within this range, the weapon or its wielder is often forced to move back so that it can still engage the enemy. This can be due to practicality (it's difficult to line up a sniper shot when your opponent is close enough to beat your face in), difficulty tracking the target, risk of ricochet and Splash Damage, or a minimum firing arc for the weapon. This is one of the Acceptable Breaks from Reality in videogames. Attempting to realistically simulate a physics-accurate space battle is still beyond the reach of home computers; range limitations are one of the many simplifications made for the sake of performance. Weapon range limitations are also done for balance reasons, to prevent weapons from being too overpowered and to incentivize players to make effective use of their resources. When used outside of video games, range limitations generally serve to provide an obstacle for the characters to overcome, creating tension in the story.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online: Most weapons have a measly 10-kilometer range. Thus enforcing Old School Dogfighting. It is needless to say quite annoying when your huge ship bristling with weapons is forced to try and keep a much smaller ship in it's firing arc. The Starfleet Avenger-class battlecruiser's unique weapon, the Variable Auto-Targeting Armament, cannot be fired if the Avenger is within 2 kilometers of its target (ditto the similar weapon of its Klingon Moveset Clone, the Mogh-class battlecruiser). Same with the Romulan Hyper-Plasma Torpedo available through the reputation system. In both cases there's a good reason: they're Area of Effect weapons, and in the case of VATA, the further from your target you fire it, the more submunitions it will have time to fire.

However, rank 1 of the variable restricts the attack from targeting less than half of its maximum range (determined by the Range variable); rank 2 reduces this to ten percent; rank 3 is the maximum and removes the restriction. Splash Damage is handled by the Area variable instead, so there may not be any practical reason for an attack to have a minimum range.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_169f043b	comment	Siege tanks in siege mode from StarCraft and StarCraft II. The weapons in siege mode are capable of dealing high damage from a long distance, and can be primarily used either as a turtling base defense, or to take out the weaker units in large bursts (such as blasting a bioball of Zerg and killing a bunch of Zergling fairly fast). The problem is that, once the enemy crosses a specific threshold, the siege tank cannot fire. This can be circumvented by a second siege tank covering the first, but siege tanks also deal friendly fire damage, so it isn't advised. Lampshaded in one of its Stop Poking Me! quotes:

Missiles and kinetic rounds fired from ships will magically disappear into thin air (or thin vacuum?) once they reach their maximum in-game range. This is especially ironic considering that in the first Homeworld, missiles that don't hit a target will be seen flying off into distant space rather than disappearing. Realistically it should also to be possible to fire such projectiles from across the map and have them hit the large and slow motherships.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_1de234dc	comment	Arbitrary minimum ranges are the reason for the desperation tactic attempted by the USS Walker and USS Mahan in the first Destroyermen book. With the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi ready to pound the two obsolete destroyers to scrap and the rest of the Japanese fleet on approach, the Walker and the Mahan head straight for the Amagi and pass very close to it on either side, thus keeping the battlecruiser's big guns from being able to hit them. However, the smaller-caliber guns on the Japanese ship still did plenty of damage to the destroyers, but the battlecruiser also sustained significant damage from both destroyers' guns. The idea was to hide in the squall behind the Amagi and hope to escape the area. The squall turns out to be a Negative Space Wedgie and sends the three ships to a Parallel World.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_2ffcbd43	comment	Fire Emblem: Ballistas and siege tomes (Bolting, Purge, Swarm) have a minimum range of 3. They can fire 10 tiles away in exchange. Some ballistas even have 15 range. Bows have a minimum range of 2. If you surround a bow user with four units, they can't move and can't attack. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, non-mounted archers can overcome this limitation by using Crossbows as opposed to regular bows, at the cost of dealing less damage, due to Crossbows ignoring their strength stat. The SS-ranked bow, the Double Bow, does not have this handicap, while still allowing 1-range combat. The skills Point Blank and Close Counter also allow 1-range bow attacks. Fire Emblem Heroes goes against the series standard by applying this to magic. Unlike in the main series, where magic can attack in melee range as well as at distance (the former is not recommended as the series plays Squishy Wizard fairly straight), magic in Heroes has a minimum range of 2, the same as bows or daggers/shuriken/miscellanious ranged attacks.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_3cf15492	comment	MechWarrior: MechWarrior 2 has weapons with listed maximum ranges that seem to go an unusual amount of distance beyond that (most notable for PPC shots and Gauss rifle slugs, but occasionally seen with missiles too). At almost all other times, though, beams, projectiles, and missiles simply despawn at their maximum range. This can be problematic given the game's notoriously wonky hit detection and damage calculation at times. In MechWarrior Living Legends, ballistic and energy weapons abruptly stop at their listed maximum range. Missiles auto-detonate after a certain point, but on guided missiles (particularly those with a ballistic trajectory, like the long range missiles) it's typically 10 to 20% further than what is listed. Zig-zagged In Mechwarrior Online, where energy and ballistic weapons deal full damage out to their listed range. However, beyond that they start linearly dropping off, until they do zero damage at twice the listed range. Missiles auto-detonate right at their maximum range. The game carries over many of the minimum ranges from BattleTech, but it's generally most apparent with missiles. In Mechwarrior Living Legends Inner Sphere long range missiles fire in a ballistic trajectory with a minimum impact & warhead arming distance of about 160 meters. Arrow IV missiles likewise arc up and arm in mid-flight. Advanced Tactical Missiles (loaded with standard or extended range ammo) and Medium Range Missiles can hit targets closer due to a straight flight path, but both have a minimum arming distance where they deal no damage. The Long Tom Artillery Tank is incapable of aiming down on flat terrain, forcing it anchor down on the downslope of a hill if it wants to hit anything within 150 meters.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: There is a limit on how far away an opponent can be to fire a spell at them. However, the spell doesn't care if they stay within that range after it's been cast, though if they run away for too long they'll take the damage before the spell graphic actually hits them. With a fast flying mount it's possible to travel faster than the projectile. This means someone can aggravate a gargoyle in Icecrown Citadel into shooting at them, run away from it, double back and get fired at again as many times as desired, fly off, land in the Howling Fjord, and finally get hit by a barrage of "40 yard range" spells that just followed them across the continent. Admittedly, they won't hurt, because the target already took the damage when they were "supposed" to. All manner of ranged physical attacks in, be they bows, guns, or crossbows, used to have a minimum range; if the enemy got too close, you were forced into melee combat. This was removed in one of the expansion packs, largely because the minimum range for ranged physical attacks and maximum range for melee attacks had a sizable gap between them, creating a "dead zone" where the player couldn't attack at all (a serious problem for Hunters as they were the only class made to use physical ranged attacks for the vast majority of their abilities). Certain turrets and siege weapons still have a minimum range, though. Some bosses have attacks that they will not use on players in melee range.

You can free-fire photon torpedoes and pulse weapons, but good luck hitting any target closer than 60 KM (or closer for faster ships or slower torpedoes).

Within the array's vast maximum range, entire battalions of approaching aircraft flying above 2000 feet risk being swatted out of the sky by the sheer shockwaves from Stonehenge's high-velocity, four feet-wide rounds. Once ISAF manages to enter Stonehenge's minimum range, however, it becomes vulnerable to direct attack and must rely on fixed defenses and allied squadrons, as its rail cannons can't do squat about individual enemy fighters that fly too fast and unpredictably for them to track. It can still hit you, but you have to have the bad luck to be flying right in the path of one of the cannons while it fires wildly for it to happen.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_5908ee91	comment	The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a unique use of this with both magic and arrows. After a certain distance, they will just go through the enemy. This was apparently done as a workaround with the AI, as it forces enemy archers and mages to close in on you rather than sniping you from a mile away. As for the player? It's highly unlikely you'll ever actually encounter it as an issue, because the distance is far enough that, if you manage to hit an enemy from it, either you're extremely lucky, or River Tam. That said, there's one other distance rule with arrows: after a certain distance, they won't sink into models they hit, but bounce off, sometimes straight up. This is inside the possible damage range, and so it's possible to kill an enemy with an arrow that then flies 50 feet into the sky and comes back down.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_60156176	comment	Explained in detail in the Vorkosigan Saga. The Vor Game features a space battle in which the interactions between the main weapons systems in use, each featuring different ranges, is explained. Lasers do have infinite range, but the ships of the day have very good anti-laser armor that works unless it is damaged by other weapons systems. Other weapons include physically firing missiles at the enemy, which while they theoretically have infinite range must be propelled or they'll be too easy to dodge, and gravitic lances, whose power decreases by the square of the distance and therefore have a minimal effective range, although their effects are measurable far beyond the distance at which they can do any damage. There are also plasma lances, which can be countered by plasma mirrors (some sort of forcefield that reflects plasma bolts back at the firing ship). The perpetual contest between weapons and countermeasures is such that, at the time of The Vor Game, strategists are once again toying with the idea that ramming will become a starship's primary weapon.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_62aa95a6	comment	Justified in The Lost Fleet, since the lack of FTL sensors means that any sensor data from a light minute away is exactly a minute old. Since starships normally perform battle maneuvers at speeds around 0.1c, firing at a ship at a distance of more than several light seconds is a waste of ammunition. There are three primary space weapons in the setting: hell-lances (particle beams), grapeshot (Magnetic Weapons), and missiles. They're usually fired at the same ranges (missiles a bit earlier to make sure all three reach the target at the same time). The Alliance also has the null-field, which is a destructive weapon with an extremely short range. Post-Geary, fleets engage one another at a combined speed of somewhere around 0.2c. While they could move faster, doing so degrades sensor data even more, since, at that point, the speeds are relativistic, which greatly increases the uncertainty over what is going on in space. "Stationary" targets like planets and space stations can be attacked from a significantly longer range with "rocks", since they can't evade the attack.

Many of the grenades don't even get to arm before hitting zombies, who wind up just as dead anyway. The minimum range of Tomahawk cruise missiles is why the -D variant (cluster munitions) fired to clear a beach of a mass zombie swarm, fired from the USS Michigan, had to be steered around the long way inland before turning back to their actual targets.

The best solution is to accelerate to maximum warp backwards until it dissipates enough for the shields to handle. The makers of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan wanted to have a starship dogfight between the Enterprise and the Reliant, but were initially concerned that it wouldn't make sense since both ships would logically be able to hit each other without having to get close. Thus, circumstances were contrived to make both the film's space battles take place at close range. For the first battle, Kirk lets the Reliant close in on the Enterprise without raising shields because he doesn't realize they've been hijacked, which he later admits was a mistake. In the climax, Kirk lures Khan into a nebula, rendering the sensors on both ships ineffective.

Energy weapons can hit any target within sensor range, but their focusing lenses cannot keep the beam cohesive beyond a certain distance. Shells can be evaded with enough reaction time and missiles run out of fuel, essentially becoming super-slow projectiles. So far, so good, but the c.65km max effective range for every type seems an arbitrary number - though a high one, when rocky planets are seldom more than 22km in diameter.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_8889afa3	comment	Rogue Trader (the RPG) has minimum range for Nova Cannons, as they cannot safely be used too close to the ship, having splash damage and a chance to explode closer to the firer than intented (technically they can still hit the firer if you fire at the absolute minimum range and roll very badly). This is a holdover from their rules in Battlefleet Gothic, as RT space combat rules are heavily based on that game. However, this trope is notably averted for personal weapons in both Rogue Trader and the various related RPGs — weapons have a range listed, but that's simply the maximum range at which they can be fired accurately. You can shoot them twice as far with a small penalty, three times as far with a larger penalty, and while it's considered impossible to actually hit a target at anything beyond that, there is a psychic power in Dark Heresy called Divine Shot which, per the rules as written, effectively gives your weapons an unlimited range, provided you can see the target. A Meltagun has a listed range of 20 metres; using Divine Shot, you could use it to land a hit on a target several kilometres away.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_8ac4e993	comment	Gundam: One of the major reasons mobile suits are used in the Universal Century series is that Minovsky Particles, among other effects, tend to play merry hell with non-visual targeting methods (and possibly even those as well). This keeps mobile suits from being bombarded by guided missiles launched from beyond the horizon, and also makes nuclear weapons less usable. Most other Gundam settings still use similar ranges out of pure habit, even where Minovsky particles are not an explicit part of the setting. Subverted by the GP02 Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, which has a nuclear missile launcher whose range doesn't extend all the way out of the blast radius, instead reinforcing the suit to withstand it, including a thick shield encompassing almost the entire height of the suit. Going the other way, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7 revolves around the Jupiter Empire building a Colony Laser in orbit around Jupiter and aiming it at Earth; though Colony Lasers have never been seen used at this sort of distance before (365 million miles at shortest), there's no reason given why they couldn't, and the threat is treated seriously. The heroes don't manage to stop it from firing, but they do manage to mess up its aim by a tenth of a degree, which at that distance causes the laser to miss Earth by several million miles.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech: Lasers can have an effective range as short as 100 yards. In space combat, where a different scale and different range brackets apply, even the smallest laser (the exact same kind as used on the ground)'s effective range shoots up slightly over 3,000 yards. Not bad for dogfighting between aerospace aces (though granted, on the other hand the maximum effective range for even the largest capital-scale weapons — other than tele-operated capital missiles, which move like fighters with their own small fuel reserve — is only about an order of magnitude larger than that). The game does have optional rules for extreme range and line-of-sight range, but the steep attack penalties mean that even when they're in play it's really hard to actually hit anything. The fluff attributes the short-ranges to terrible fire-control systems: Battlemechs are equipped with rudimentary targeting computers, but they don't account for so many factors that most pilots end up having to eyeball their shots anyway. The exception is Long Range Missiles, which can lock on to a target, but rapidly lose accuracy the farther they have to travel. LRMs also have a minimum range, as they are explicitly indirect fire weapons, arcing up at launch to come down on a target at impact. Even with functionally hit-scan weapons in the form of lasers, the movement of the firing 'mech, the target, and the inherent inaccuracy of targeting computers makes it hard to actually land a hit. There is Lost Technology that can be used to add a proper, effective targeting computer to a 'mech, and the result is staggeringly effective. Many long-range weapons have minimum ranges, making it harder to hit within that minimum range. There are various rationales for the minimum ranges depending on the type of weapon; from ungainly long barrels for AC/2s, the lightest, longest-ranged Autocannonnote larger Autocannons fire heavier shells at shorter ranges, using shorter barrels as a result, and generally don't suffer from the same problem or Gauss rifles that are hard to swing around at short range, to safety features to prevent self-inflicted damage in the case of PPCs (firing a weapon that is essentially a small scale particle accelerator has notably dangerous effects on the electrically-driven muscle fibers of a 'Mech)note a savvy, enterprising, or crazy Mech Warrior can disable the safeties on the PPC to fire at closer ranges, with a reasonably high change to damage their own 'Mech as a result, from minor structure damage to outright explosions. Later developments would also create the ER (Extended Range) PPC, which has no minimum range., to booster engines not arming the missile until expended for missile weapons.

Thus, circumstances were contrived to make both the film's space battles take place at close range. For the first battle, Kirk lets the Reliant close in on the Enterprise without raising shields because he doesn't realize they've been hijacked, which he later admits was a mistake. In the climax, Kirk lures Khan into a nebula, rendering the sensors on both ships ineffective.

However, some low-tier vehicles have guns that have such limited range that they must get quite close to their target before they can hit it or the bullets will just wink out of existence on the way there. While normally even artillery can hit what's in front of it, combining bad gun depression with enemies beneath you generally means you can't or shouldn't engage them.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_9a8bf274	comment	Prevalent through the entire Command & Conquer series but Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains some particularly jarring examples when Tanya's twin handguns have greater range than any anti-infantry weapon (be it assault rifle, stationary machinegun or even a gatling cannon) save for the British Sniper's rifle and Boris's AKM. This is actually the only real mechanic which provides the commando units superiority over all infantry targets. In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, all tier 3 siege weapons have a minimum range, for all 3 factions. However, you can use a wave-force artillery to force-attack a point, and causes damage to the line of shooting when it fires, including your troops. And surprisingly, the Brighton coastal guns and wave-force tricannons does not suffer from this limit. Subverted in the case of the Akula sub's Ultratorpedoes, which keep going once fired and don't stop or explode until they hit something, that something being an enemy, an ally, a rock, a beach... But on maps with large amounts of water, it is possible to "snipe" targets from the other side of the map by aligning the sub with the target (actually getting the sub to turn the way you want it to is another matter, of course).

Now, consider that a typical tank is about 6" long in the game. Supersonic craft regularly move 24" or less. Blindingly fast ships can clear a whopping 36"! Ranges and speeds like this would embarrass Napoleon's gunners and a land tortoise, respectively, but is an Acceptable Break from Reality, unless you can find an empty stadium to host your battles in. In earlier editions, barrage weapons had a minimum range. In the 6th edition they still have a minimum range for indirect fire, but can still fire at targets closer than that if they have line of sight to them. However since the rules forbid you from intentionally placing blast markers on your own units (barring a few specific exceptions), blast weapons (which include all barrage weapons) still have a minimum range in some cases; if the entire enemy unit can get so close that you can't place a blast marker on them without hitting the firing unit as well, you can't fire it. The Deathstrike Missile has a minimum range of 12 inches on the tabletop, equivalent to 60 feet in real life. The Basilisks despite being a cannon with plating has to be using the secondary weapons if the weapon gets close even though the enemy warlord can be in front of the cannon. The Tau are very poor at close ranged combat (because their reflexes are much slower than humans). As a result, most of their weapons have a great deal of trouble locking onto targets at close range.

Scouts are usually Sentry fodder, but in large enough maps, a cheeky one can park himself just outside of an unattended Sentry's range and plink at it with one of his pistols or the Shortstop until it's destroyed. Conversely, the Engineer's Wrangler allows them to take control of the sentry themselves and tell it where to fire regardless of if there's actually a target there — as long as there's a clear line of sight between the sentry and where you're pointing the laser, you can make it fire at it. For snipers, a scoped in headshot can kill any class depending on the charge level, but being scoped in greatly limits your visual range, making it easier for opponents to come at you from the sides or even (almost) straight ahead without being seen, an advantage Spies make full use of.

In Mechwarrior Living Legends Inner Sphere long range missiles fire in a ballistic trajectory with a minimum impact & warhead arming distance of about 160 meters. Arrow IV missiles likewise arc up and arm in mid-flight. Advanced Tactical Missiles (loaded with standard or extended range ammo) and Medium Range Missiles can hit targets closer due to a straight flight path, but both have a minimum arming distance where they deal no damage. The Long Tom Artillery Tank is incapable of aiming down on flat terrain, forcing it anchor down on the downslope of a hill if it wants to hit anything within 150 meters.

The heroes don't manage to stop it from firing, but they do manage to mess up its aim by a tenth of a degree, which at that distance causes the laser to miss Earth by several million miles.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_d5f34c70	comment	The weapons mounted on ships are repeatedly referred to as lasers in the EU, including "turbolasers" on the capital ships. Although most of the EU's usage is intended to mimic how the original trilogy did things; energy weapons there were relatively short range, and visible. This was reinforced by the X-Wing and TIE Fighter video games, which were based on WWII dogfighting tactics. That said, this is subverted a few times in the SWEU, with one notable example being in the X-Wing books: a pilot points out that proton torpedoes can travel 14 kilometers before running out of fuel and the safeties automatically detonate it, but a fighter's targeting computer can only lock onto a capital ship at 5 kilometers. So he has a bomber squadron fire torpedoes at his own fighter's tracer signal, then he'll try to maneuver so that the capital ship they want to kill is in between him and the less-manuverable torpedoes. It actually works out pretty well, mostly thanks to his ship's droid.

Maximum range was just "snowball's chance in hell at hitting", and if you did fire at long range it would often take several turns for the arrow to get there. For heavy weapons, "range" is given for the first round, when the target have no time to get away; then a missile marker moves on at the same speed until it either hits something or reaches the tactical map border.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_de8ae019	comment	In Star Carrier, battles between capital ships take place at relatively short ranges due to the lack of FTL sensors. Fighters engage one another at even closer ranges. Ubiquitous gravity propulsion means that fighters and missiles can accelerate to a high percentage of the speed of light in a matter of minutes. While fighters don't actually fight at those speeds, a typical tactic when arriving to a system that is known to be occupied by a hostile force is to immediately launch several wings of fighters at 99% of the speed of light in order to get in firing range mere seconds after the light from the arrival of the fleet reaches the enemy sensors, giving them little or no change to react, while the fleet takes longer to get there. FTL travel within a star system is impossible (until later books). Trevor "Sandy" Gray gets his nickname from an innovative tactic he devises during the defense of the Solar System. While still at 0.99c, he has his wing launch their AMSO canisters, which normally launch a cone-shaped spread of "sand" to destroy any incoming missiles. At relativistic speeds, the "sand" particles have enough kinetic energy to rip much of the enemy fleet to shreds before they even know what's happening.

Similar to Star Ruler, battles take place across entire stellar systems so even the shortest ranged weapons can cover 10s to 100s of AU so calling this a maximum effective range isn't too bad. Missed shots do get cut off rather than continuing to infinity or fading out, although given the hectic nature of battles this is only noticeable with the very biggest weapons.

Arbitrary Weapon Range / int_e60954ea	comment	In the Armored Core: Each non-missile weapon has a given cutoff range (actually slightly less than the given statistic in the equipment menu) where the projectile simply vanishes note In multiplayer, it was observed that a shot at the edge of the longest-ranged sniping rifle would hit Player 2. If P2 takes a half-step backward, and P1 is still aiming in that direction when firing another shot, the shot will disappear immediately in front of P2. This is increasingly subverted in later entries. For example: Armored Core 4 and Armored Core: 4 Answer feature missile weaponry that continues cruising until they run out of fuel, wherein said missiles will then start to fall to the ground and explode. While it's highly unlikely for expended missiles to hit anyone this way, missiles with more exotic warheads such as Kojima-based Explosives will still explode, showering the impact zone with harmful Kojima radiation, wreaking havoc with NEXTs' Primal Armor. In Armored Core V and Armored Core Verdict Day, the stat indicated by "Maximum Range" actually represents what is in the Japanese version literally indicated as "Maximum Firepower Distance"note å¨�åŠ›ä¿�è¨¼è·�é›¢, lit. Power-Guaranteed Distance. That is to say, this indicated distance is the maximum range where a weapon's maximum theoretical firepower is conserved.
