Nope!  You get a bonus/penalty for range, while your rate of fire bonus is different.<br/><br/>If you're within two meters, you're at point blank, and get a +30 bonus<br/>If you're within less than half of the range of your weapon, you're at short range, and get a +10 bonus<br/>If you're at more than double the range of your weapon, you're at long range, and get a -10 penalty<br/>If you're at more than triple the range of your weapon, but the GM agrees that you can still attempt a shot, you're at extreme range, and get a -30 penalty.<br/><br/>So if you attack with the telemetry bonus from the VTOLs, and the markerlight, you get a +40 bonus, or a +60 (maximum) bonus if you go full auto.  (+50 for semi-auto)<br/><br/><br/>Please ignore the shooting into melee penalty, which doesn't exist in Adeptus Evangelion.
