I think there has been something missed here.
If I remember right, the ranges for gun systems like the PIVAD etc. etc. are like small arms ranges, they indicate the Close Range and not the maximum range.
Missiles list their Maximum Range.
So in the example above the PIVAD would have the following Range Bands: -
Close: 450 metres
Medium: 900 metres
Long: 1800 metres
Extreme: 3600 metres
Sure you have lower chance to hit at Extreme Range but the 3500 metres Maximum Range of the missile doesn't seem so magical now.

But if you've got a 20mm PIVAD with a range of 450...and the other guy has a 40mm AC with twice the range...a 3500 missile sounds alot better.
Although it would appear the range on these guns is more then a little bit off from RL...
