No. ADFC range is 6mu in both Vector and Cinematic.

No. The reduction of the missiles' target acquisition range prevents the

*missiles* from getting a very good deal in Vector.

>If the latter, what has been the rationale

The ships' manoevering envelope is much smaller in Vector than it is in 
Cinematic, so a 6mu-radius circle would give the missiles a much higher
hit 
probability in Vector than it does in Cinematic. Reducing the missiles' 
Vector target acquisition range to 3mu cuts them back to about the same
hit 
probability in Vector as they have in Cinematic.
