I don't understand how targeting computer range is calculated. I made one that had 40,000km range times 4 so 160,000km. With my railgun velocity tech, my max sized railguns of 30cm outranged that by quite a bit, so I decided instead of invest more research in extremely expensive tech I would make a 20cm gun that had a range of exactly 160,000km. However, when I actually put it on a ship the computer says....

That's twice as far as the design window told me it would be. Now it looks like I wasted my time developing that 20cm railgun when I could have made a 30cm one and I also have an inaccurately named fire control. Wish I could rename it. But anyways, why did my range double? Why didn't it show this in the design window?
Also, I took peoples advise and halfed the size of my targeting computer and tracking speed ability but it seems that now I have a gun that can out track it, limiting its potential. Why wasn't the tracking speed shown when I was making the gun in the first place?
