difference in range between the infantry anti-tank??

Doubtful: I do not understand why the tank hunters has a range of value 40 and anti-tank squads from other factions of the original game has a range with the lower value of 35. that are very disruptive because most tanks have the range  only 40 andSoviet tank hunters is to achieve them, without approaching and without leaving the shelter. I need to know if this is correct ... or forgot to make this adjustment ..

That (range difference) may be due the difference in overall effectiveness. I mean  panzershrek or bazooka does multiple times more damage than 2 PTRDs.

the cost of a Soviet tank hunter is less than the anti-tank squads from other factions, so their damage is minor ... the range of everyone should be equal.

Not much lower (and you must also consider the almost inevitable upgrade), plus they start off with 4 low health men. Also, if you shorten their range, they will be a lot less than effective against light vehicles, fighting which is their main purpose.
