Re: German OOB 16 Corrections/Suggestions
There is one standard range for the Vickers-Maxim type tripod MMG of rifle calibre and a slightly shorter one for their air-cooled cousins.
The 44 for this one particular isolated database item is simply a data error that will need rectification. (Our 1970s GPMGs had a telescopic sight in the S/F kit - that did not make the bullets go any further.)
HMGs are 12.7mm and similar, and have their own standard range - 40 - which this thing out-ranges.
(And yes I know that some armies call rifle calibre MMGs "HMGs" - maybe if it had a water jacket - but for the purposes of game data, we don't care what the Ruritanians call theirs, or that some database designer has labelled the item as such. )
