The distance a 155 mm Howitzer cannon can shoot is dependent on the angle of attack. The steeper the angle of attack, the shorter the distance it will travel horizontally.
Current howitzers like the American M109-A6 and the British AS-90 fire approximately 40 km. The South African army's G6 Rhino claims 52 km with a V-lap round
By far the most common US howitzer was the 105mm split trail (towed piece). The most common SP (Self Propelled gun) was the 155mm SP. There were some SP 175mm, 8 inch SP, and 155mm split trails in use. Unless their tubes were wore out, they were all accurate.
A tank can shoot targets with its main gun at distances in excess of 2 miles. More advanced canons and ammunition extend this range even further.
The 69 smoothbore had a maximum effective range of about 100 yards (more or less). The rifled 58 Springfield musket had an effective range of 300 yards against men or 600 yards against larger targets like a man on a horse.
It was understood during the Cold War period that there were some things you could get away with, in terms of military provocation, and some things you could not get away with. If a certain line was crossed, the result would have been nuclear war and the destruction of the human race. No one wanted to go that far.
Not far enough. (:
