On the topic of range.

[BobRoss0902]

So about range, I think there should be ways to overcome range, wether it be overfilling your ships with coal, causing them to have a tendency to explode/worse crew performance, or if it should be similar to the Russian 2nd Pacific squad where you bring supply ships and refuel mid ocean, same goes for guns like how Graf Spee had a supply ship that had quite a few shells on board with her.

my understanding base on what the shipbuilder says is, that you can deploy out of range, but take damage for it (not enough maintenance ect.)
