TBH I couldn't remember if bodkins doing Pi were in Character and LT so I was kind of hedging on that one ;-) !

I get what pi vs imp is trying to do, but from what I understand about the lozenge-shaped or Type 16 warheads, they really should just cost a bunch and do (2) imp.
I think at some points (i.e arrows) the difference between Pi++ and Imp as distinct different things kind of just breaks down.

I guess you could look at there arrow heads in relation to the Pi, Pi+ & Pi++ diameters in HT.
