Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and determines that this projectile can run out of 'fuel' and thus explode in mid air if it does not come into contact with the target. This is usually applied to surface-to-air missiles, with this range (above ground) being specified by the MissileSafetyAltitude= statement from the [General] section.

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

Whether a projectile can run out of fuel and detonate in mid air before reaching its target. Only if a projectile is Ranged=yes the ProjectileRange value on the weapon is respected.

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.
