So while there is tons of mods that adds custom weapons with their own ranges, and a some mods that also adds vehicles that adds their own ranges to their weapons.
And even some tools have a limited range too beyond the vanilla.

Basically, a simple GUI that allows the user to create an/several overlay(s) as either a simple line or full colored circle or square.
And you can put a check mark in weather it should appear on foot, in vehicle, or both.

This will be super useful for weapons, but where you don't know if your weapon will actually reach or not, and it might even allow you to be a little more tactical against the biters.

Sure the essence of this mod is in and of itself rather trivial, it would be a super great clientside mod to add.

I often find myself asking when trying to use the tank to hit monsters, how far does this thing even reach?!? and it becomes a pure guess work, often i end up driving to close.

A simple GUI with a list of currently created Range Indicators, and the ability to mod currently created ones, as well as a way to delete them and all that...
It's simple, but very helpful!
