Well, IMO you still can hit something that far out, but with a few
restrictions. My idea would be as follows:First, the target number
increases by one catagory for every 10% beyond extreme for the difficulty
(like short increases to medium, medium to long, long to extreme. Beyond
extreme add 3 to target number). Also, the power rating drops by 1 for
each 10% and the damage rating drops 1 level for each 25% as well, always
rounding up(at 1700 meters, an assult cannon does 14M damage and has a
+12TN without optical enhancement, since it is over 30% beyond max range)
