Range, Accuracy & perception

[Michi]

Perception directly affects initial skill scores as well as the ability to identify enemies. That much is obvious.

My question is does it impact accuracy at range.

For example, Kruger has perception of 9. So he can spot an enemy way off.

if my char with a perception of 1 shoots at this enemy with a pipe rifle at the range of the "blue triangle" which is way past the red/green circle, am I suffering a penalty that a high perception character would not have?

Also, anyone understand how the "aiming" mechanism works?

Thanks!
