I can't find the forums post since gun stats went to graphical display in-game) at 1200m, it's roughly 1/3 the range of the Merc.  This is why I think clouds and such are the important parts.  If I put max range between a Merc and a Lumberjack, it will take the Lumberjack nigh on a minute just to close the gap head-on, full speed.

I can hit lumbers well past 1200m - I've taken balloons down on opposite spawn on Dunes and Fjords within 10 seconds of either ship moving;- the range is far beyond massive - the "practical" range of a lumberjack isn't set in stone;- it's a variable that differs per gunner

By practical distance i don't mean accuracy. I mean the distance the shell can travel between points A and B assuming perfect gunning.

Obviously since it arcs a lot it'll loose at least a 1/4 of its paper range, probably even more. I say this on the fairly save assumption that the range of the shell is measured by the total distance traveled in the parabolic curve.

Piemanlives:
I played a match where I loaded a double merc prym. my team mates would close in while me and my crew would hang back and disable them or pound their hull into oblivion.

Moriarty:
actually just seen that the light motor out ranges the Artemis rocket launcher on paper, anyone that's even thought of comparing the relative ranges knows this simply inst true, and just means the light motor will very  rarely (if ever) air burst.

I'd propose the lumber/merc dynamic is exactly like this
