Anyone have suggestions as to why this is happenning? Not a good look.
And yes I am using a Medium Laser Module for the extended reach. Not that it is doing much

[Maggiman]

The displayed Range (281m in this case, 270m standart) is the optimum range, at which weapons do full damage.
Lasers have twice that range(Which means 562m in your case), but loose damage above that optimum range.

As far as i know, this hasn't changed for the ML.

Standard I.S ML has a optimum range of 270 meters, 540 maximum... after that 270 meters, the damage falls off at a rather exponential rate.

maybe I've been playing Clan Mechs too much - just doesnt feel like a true reach. Especially after watching targetted info of enemy after firing. at 400m or less.

We call it extended range.
Without the range module it's 270 meters full damage or 540 at just zero damage with ML.
With the module it's 11 more meters.
So with the module it's 281 meters or 562 meters with just zero damage with ML.

Linear rate. Not exponential.
Literally at twice the range it's 0 damage.

At 405 meters without the range module it's 2.5 damage total. At 540 meters it's 0 damage total.
With the module it's 421.5 meters to do 2.5 damage total.
