A-10 Stats
I need stats for the actual plane, AGM-65/F ATGM and Hydra 70 (M229 warhead) for my military campaign. I already have the GAU-8/A stats. Thanks!

Re: A-10 Stats
The Hydra 70mm rocket stats are in High Tech, and the Maverick might be extrapolated from the TOW in the same book, although the Maverick carries a much larger explosive warhead.

Re: A-10 Stats
Just to be clear, the AGM-65F is the naval variant, for anti-ship use. It is practically identical to the AGM-65G, except for unspecified "optimizations" to the guidance for targeting ships.
I can't find good numbers for the weapon. The heavyweight warhead of the E/F/G/H/J/K models is 300 pound with 80 pounds of explosive filler, but I haven't been able to find what filler is used. If it is something like RDX, it would give an explosive followup in the neighborhood of 6d*23 [6d*2] cr exp. Someone else will have to come up with the basic damage. Do numbers this high break Douglas Cole's formulas? Range is about 350/24000 (remember that for guided weapons, 1/2D is replaced with velocity in yd/s). Acc is best pulled off similar weapons. Total weight is 675 lbs.

Re: A-10 Stats
Maybe, maybe not, but probably. I get up to the one-ton projectiles of the 406mm guns of the Iowa battleships, but my model doesn't quite line up with that due to where I chose to optimize.

Re: A-10 Stats
Excuse me? Do you mean you have used A-10 stats before? If so, could you please give me a link or something?

Re: A-10 Stats
I think he meant that stats for the A-10 are awesome because he's dealt with it from an occupational standpoint. They were in the Guiness book of World Records for the most bullet holes in a plane that landed safely.
