 ====== Comparative Ranges and explanation ======

+In the group of weapons the values and ranges I'm using are all calculated relative to the BIS Medium Range missile class:
-{{:a3_documentation:cvwp:mraam_range_scale.png?nolink}}
 ===== HERE IS THE LOGIC. =====
-Most of BIS' values for SRAAM aren't much different than the ammo_Missile_ShortRangeAABase class values. So lets assume:
+Just like the SRAAMs most of BIS' values for MRAAM aren't much different than the ammo_Missile_MediumRangeAABase class values. This time we dont have to assume as much.
->**Assumption #1** - With a bit of research you can find that the 'average' range of the __real world__ short range air-to-air missiles (SRAAM) comes to something like 16km.
+Normally you should find a weapon in game that you can find the real world equivalent of and get the specs. BIS actually has an AIM-120C and D ingame so that makes it a bit easier. We will use the AIM-120C as our datum.
->**Assumption #2** - In the armaverse 5000m (5Km) is equivalent to 16000m (16km) in the real world. The 5000m comes from the max range BIS specified.
+**Assumption #1** - the __real__ world ranges of the weapons we are looking at are:
-Now comes the maths:
+  * AIM-120B = 75km
+  * AIM-120C = 90km
+  * AIM-120D = 130km.
+**Assumption #2** - The Armaverse AIM-120C (class ammo_Missile_AMRAAM_C) has a 12000m (12Km) max range.
+Now comes the maths here is an example.
 <code c>
-   (Real World MAX Range) / (Assumed Average Range) = "RangeRatio"
+   (Range of the weapon you are configing) / (DATUM Weapon Real World MAX Range) = "RangeRatio"
 </code>
-For example the Aim-9M max range is given as ~20km. So:
+So when we apply some real world figures we get a ration compared to the ingame "Datum weapon" we have chosen:
 <code c>
-   (20km) / (16km) = "1.25"
+  AIM-120B (75km) / (90km) = "0.8333"
+  AIM-120C (90km) / (90km) = "1"
+  AIM-120D (130km) / (90km) = "1.44"
 </code>
-Now we have the "RangeRatio" we can multiply that by BIS's 5km max range value to give us the 'Adjusted/scaled range' for our new missile.
+You can see by the results the figure you get is the "ratio" compared to our AIM-120C "Datum weapon"  Now we have the "RangeRatio" we can multiply that by BIS's 12km max range value to give us the 'Adjusted/scaled range' for our new missile.
 <code c>
    (BIS MaxRange) * (RangeRatio) = "NewScaledRange"
-   (5km) / (1.25) = "6.25 (Km)" = "6250m"
+AIM-120B =   (12km) / (0.83) = "10 (Km)" = "10000m"
+AIM-120C =   (12km) / (1.00) = "12 (Km)" = "12000m"
+AIM-120D =   (12km) / (1.44) = "17.333 (Km)" = "17333m"
 </code>
+And that is it. The entire logic behind how we chose the range values of our weapons.
