I don't know, but it looks, like several people submitted these values long time ago, and they had different ideas how to represent off-map range, possibly just comparing "this gun has 204 - so this should be two points better". 207-208 would be 17-18 km, using this calculation (which seems to be correct), so it should be rather long powerful piece, not ordinary 76mm FG.

Could be. Back in the dark ages of the INTERNET when we started this project information was scarce and only wizards had access to books that had not been written yet so there could very well be ranges entered that were calculated as you describe.

Any gun that can only fire under 10,000 m (under 200 in game terms ) should NOT be off map arty so any like that will get very close scrutiny and even 200 is right on the line and "technically" should not be included as off map arty.

And while I see you are including every gun even if it's "OK" by your data it only makes wading through the data slower than if the good ones were on a separte list ( or not included at all ) and the "problem" ones were kept isolated becasue the very first thing I'm going to do when I sit down to start looking at this is delete all the ones marked "OK"...... so not including the "good" ones will save us both some time
