Modded Weapons Range Chart?
I used all the mods in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AjmK9nmCXw

At this point im just guessing what each weapon is supposed to do... I would appreciate a list of all the ranges for the different weapons. some of them list a range, but a lot of them dont. the vanilla weapons have the vanilla range listed but im pretty sure the assault cannons are 3km but im not sure.

im having a problem where these ork carriers are hitting me as far out as 5km and i want to upgrade my bases main guns to exceed that.

I made these things... I wanted my guns to be higher up for line of sight and to be more spaced out so doing something like this seemed appropriate. What I might do is add a new tier to this formation with higher ranged guns to reach all the way out and keep the smaller ones to pepper targets that get too close.

Vanilla Assault Cannons have a range of 1400m.

Welcome to the world of mod insufficient documentation, complicated by collections that don't say what is in the collection. Probably best to look up each weapon like it seems you have started, and the ones without a documented range to then ask the mod maker about weapon ranges.

Also, you really should have posted this in the workshop forum.

the irony is that vanilla guns didnt even activate until 800m, so it wasnt even 1400m...

And here is part of the misunderstandings. I was referring to maximum range of the weapon manually fired which is 1400m and is correct in that context. Targeting (activate by your terms) is set at 800m which is also correct in that context. I'm just wanting to define on the same terms.

Going back to the topic of workshop stuff. MUCH of the workshop does not have maximum range or targeting range. For my own games and where I want to try a mod weapon, I put the weapon on my gunnery range so I can test exactly how far it fires, targeting range, and damage.

i figured it out, when you build each gun there is a slider for the desirable range and that tells you what the maximum is because you cant slide it higher... most weapons have a pretty short range, the only one that i can see is the echo auto cannon that has a 6km range whereas the most upgraded battleship cannon has 4.5km... like damn, battleship cannons that cant reach...
