RANGE REWORK:
All direct fire AT/TD/tank guns' range and penetration drop-off have been reworked to better match their historical performances.
New ranges are 750/1000/1250/1500/1750/2000, with distribution depending first on caliber/gun lenght, with some over/underpeforming guns sometimes shifteed one scale up or down.
The more a gun's range is downgraded compared to the previous versions, the more its accuracy at its new range has been increased.

Range distribution is roughly:
* 88mm+ AT guns retain the 2000m marks, as well as Panther & Resita's 75mm and 17-pdr.
* 80-85mm AT guns at 1750m, with German PaK 40 & tank gun equivalent, as well as US 76mm.
* >50mm to 76,2mm at 1500m, including most US/British 75mm tank/AT guns (but PaK 40) and Soviet 76,2mm, as well as 6-pdr/57mm guns.
* 45mm to 50mm at 1250m, as well as the US 37mm "long"
* 37mm to
Short 75mm and artillery guns' direct fire retain a 1500m+ (depending on caliber) range, since they usually only fire HEAT rounds.

HEAT & APCR rounds have their own range, which can be different from the AP one.
ATTENTION: remember that the default range displayed in the armory is the longest one for a weapon type (anti-personnal, anti-tank), hence make sure to check each ammo's range.
