FASA's philosophy seems to be to put playability over realism. WAY over
realism, in some cases :) The best thing to do (in BT anyway) is to not
worry about realistic ranges and times, but just think in terms of hexes
and turns so it's not as obvious that a rocket has a range of only 630 m
while any modern AT missile does at least three times that.
SR suffers from much the same problem, although I'm glad FASA realised
this as well and adjusted the ranges in SR3 over the vastly unrealistic
ones they used for many weapons in SR1/II.
