Fire range determination in Naval battles

[RGA]

Is fire range determination in naval battles random ? Is there any way to influence it ?

Thanks.

I think I have just found the answer. Is it determined by a die roll on this table ?

NavalRangesTable.csv

Die Roll;Range
1;RT_ShortRange
2;RT_MediumRange
3;RT_MediumRange
4;RT_LongRange
5;RT_LongRange
6;RT_LongRange

Yes, check also NavalRangesTableModifiers.csv for die roll modifier(s).
Just +1 if rain or snow weather in the end...

I see. Currently the Naval range modifiers are;

Code;Modifier;Used;Description
RNS;1;1;If weather is Rain or Snow

If I was to add one, say....

NGH;1;1;Night time

...would it have any affect or would you have to modify the code for it to check if it was night time ? I saw that NGH was used in another table for a night time modifier.

I would have to modify the code.
