    Default Maximum distance from firer to target to automatically clip with AoE

    If anyone feels like making me a nice and pretty chart for this, I will be your willing and obedient servant. Helpful for boosting blast damage and blind grenades I guess. Apologies if any of the values are slightly off, it happens when you convert from the real measurement system to scummy imperial values To be safe, tone them each down by 0.1" just to make sure.

    3" AoE at 30mm base: 4.2"
    3" AoE at 40mm base: 4.6"
    3" AoE at 50mm base: 5"
    3" AoE at 120mm base: 7.8"

    4" AoE at 30mm base: 5.2"
    4" AoE at 40mm base: 5.6"
    4" AoE at 50mm base: 6"
    4" AoE at 120mm base: 8.8"

    5" AoE at 30mm base: 6.2"
    5" AoE at 40mm base: 6.6"
    5" AoE at 50mm base: 7"
    5" AoE at 120mm base: 9.8"

    Sorry, the mathematician in me has to reply to this. In the second order, each one of those values is the first value in which you will miss. You MUST subtract 0.1 from each one of those values in order to be guaranteed to hit. The numbers are not off from unit conversion, but from rounding error. They were all rounded up, when for the purposes of hitting they should have all been rounded down. I think the OP knew this, but wasn't as OCD about math as I am.

    I'm a little surprised that no one caught that for nearly a year... But on the bright side I am very glad to see someone knew how to calculate these. Good job!
