2/3 Size / range BFC's

[DFNewb (OP)]

As title says: 2/3 Size / range BFC's are a must. 50tons for a BFC on a fighter is reasonable, 75 is not, 38 is ok but you usually could spare the 12 tons for extra damage.

I agree a bit more granularity for the range would be nice... I would like to see 2/3 and 3/4 range as options for the range. This can be useful for smaller and cheaper DP fire-controls too.

Why not numerical input over a drop down? 

Have all the granularity you want, without the absurdly huge drop down to go with it.

I suspect because that would require making a separate UI just for BFC ( like turret, missiles and other customizable components where you have such inputs have ) rather than being able to use the current shared one.

It would also likely produce "correct" answers for BFC size such as pi/4 or root-two-over-two.  I can think of situations where the best possible beam fire control would be 'the smallest size that is still one HTK'.
