A32N family range feels off

Detailed Description

Range of the A320 neo family seems off. While the max range of the a320n is approximately 6300km which is correctly depicted in game, the a321n should have a way higher max range of around 6800km and the LR version even 7400km. Currently the LR version has 5370km max range which is 1000km less than the default a320n, contradicting the whole selling point of a "long range" version. Yes these 7400km will usually not be achieved if you have a full eco 244 seats configuration, but 206 seats is usually taken as a normal 2 class config with 7400km range. Thereby the current 5370km range of the LR version still seem unreasonably low.

On top of that it feels weird that the A321N LR has a lower fuel consumption than the default A321N. Afaik both planes have the same kind of engines, the same aerodynamics aside from slight flap and landing gear adjustments and the LR Version has a higher MTOW coming from additional fuel tanks. Thereby it seems unrealistic for the LR to consume less fuel than the default A321N, while being the heavier aircraft. Is that a known issue thats designed this way for balancing reasons or is the developer simply unaware of these slight mistakes?

Context

Correctly depicted aircraft values seem kind of important to me, and I bet there's a lot of people thinking the same way in an airline sim.

Thanks in advance for taking these things into account.

Greetings
