The range is certainly significant. It's hard to test consistently, but I've seen it fear somewhere in the 15-20m range (maxed mod). Unlike damage based Kubrows this ability actually retains relevency even against level 100's in sorties. CC Kubrows seem the only way to go unless you are on < level 40 content.

Now, Kubrows would truly be amazing if you could give them orders similar to Mass Effect minions where you can pick a target and order them to use abilities on demand. At the moment the sentinels do seem to be superior in their abilities while also having ranged capability and requiring no maintenance, coupled with the fact that they are glued to your shoulder and don't uncontrollably wade into battle getting themselves killed like Kubrows do. (Compare the Carrier's capabilities to the Chesa for example)

Being able to give targetting and ability orders to Kubrows would give them that unique aspect over sentinels and make up for their reduced capability and utility. I really am loving this howl though (which no sentinel can match), probably because when the Kubrow wades into situations over its head it can now actually survive due to the howl CC. Several times he has howled while I was reviving someone (yes due to luck of course, not his intelligence), this gave some much needed breathing room to get the revive off. He really feels like part of the team in those moments and not just dead weight brought along only for fashion-frame purposes.

Once again though.. if only you could control the activations!
