I've never really understood the very short ranges in this game....Personally, I increase the spotter and sensor ranges because I like to play the long game, usually to 450 and 600 meters, respectively. This means on many maps, however, that as soon as you drop you are in detection range so combat rounds begin immediately. I also turn AllowRearArcSpotting to False.
Ok, I can get the sensor limitations, as perhaps all mechs have some sort of passive stealth, so I generally keep that to around 600.
However, the visual limitations make no sense at all. No 'cloaking devices' in the BT universe.
It's also contradicted by the lore as well. I remember reading in one of the novels (Second Gray Death?) that one of the characters spotted a Griffin at 3 Km. Now I keep that set to about 1200.
Hell, that's not even particular long range even for current sniper rifles.
On the other hand, rear Arc spotting is definitely supported by the lore.
Mechs have cockpit screens that show a 360 display within a 120 degree arc so that warrior can see all around them without the need for rear-view mirrors
