Applicable to:	Projectiles
*Logic related to Ranged, as a whole or in part, is obsolete* in Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.**

This flag has different meanings in the various games. It is documented with projectiles being able to run out of fuel and has been introduced in Red Alert, but it appears to work this way only in Firestorm.

Red Alert

The following information has not yet been verified. If you can contribute, please do so.

At least in Red Alert 3.03 Ranged seems only be used for considering a projectile inaccurate (see Inaccurate). Apparently it is not used for detonating projectiles in air and all projectiles should explode after 255 frames regardless of the value of this tag.

Firestorm

Actually works as intended, albeit only in conjunction with ProjectileRange. If the projectile exceeds the weapon's ProjectileRange before reaching the target, it detonates immediately.

Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge

Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge read Ranged but apparently do not use the value.

Ares

This flag is restored to function like in Firestorm, to be used with ProjectileRange.
