Title:
Range Quirked ER Large Lasers fail to reach maximum range.

Description:
In-game weapon-list shows ERLL range in yellow (target is between range and max range), but firing does not turn the reticule red and no damage is applied. Observed in-game in WVR-6K. Tested in FS9-K and WVR-6K in Testing Grounds Caustic Valley with horizontal firing. Also attempted with RVN-3L (no range quirk) and with other weapons, but found normal behavior.

FS9-K
max range: 675 * 1.15 * 2 = 1552.5
hittable range: ~1504

WVR-6K
max range: 675 * 1.25 * 2 = 1687.5
hittable range: ~1506

WVR-6K with ERLL Range Module 5
max range: 675 * 1.35 * 2 = 1822.5
hittable range: ~1506

Location:
in-game.

Reproduction Rate:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch match / Testing Grounds in large map in WVR-6K with ERLL and Range Module 5.
2. Shoot at target near maximum range (~1800m). Specific ranges listed above.
3. Observe lack of hit.


Is something happening here? Bug?
(or should I try the repair tool again?)

It is possible that the Testing Grounds is bugged.

I suggest you try it in game, ideally in a Private Match.

Devs have noted the Testing Grounds are not "accurate" to a live match against other players.

Yeah, I originally noticed the discrepancy in a Forest Colony Conquest match (sniping at the start of match), but couldn't be sure of any Level of Detail or hit registration weirdness. Testing Grounds is the best I could reasonably test right now.
