Template:Range Extension

Range determines which ships attack first. It is impossible to reduce the base range of a ship, but certain equipment can extend it.

• Not to be confused with LBAS Range Extension.

Short	All small guns, all high-angle secondary guns, all Torpedoes, and WG42	Cannot increase the range of any ship.
Medium	5" Single Gun Mk.30 + GFCS
	GFCS Mk.37

• USN DDs, Dan Yang, and Yukikaze Kai Ni are the only DDs able to reach:
  • Long Range, once equipped with an SG Radar
    ,
  • Very Long Range, once equipped with both an Initial and a Late SG radar.
• Using both a Very Long Range equipment and a Type 2 Reconnaissance Aircraft on Souryuu Kai Ni, Hiryuu Kai Ni, Ise Kai Ni, or Hyuuga Kai Ni, will set them at "Longest Range".

Some ships have a different range than the rest of their type (often following a remodel):
