Re: Designing an Artillery piece - 3e vs 4e
And there was the time I tried firing a HE bay missile into the cargo bay to clear it. Didn't do as much as I expected, since their positions weren't concentrated in the center as I had thought they would be. Using a big explosion in a vacuum, but that HE warhead has a filler weight of two tons. That's the equivalent of an extra high capacity light weight casing 8000 lb bomb. Yield on the warhead is 4 tons. Two tons makes for a lot of expanding gasses. Somehow forgot to run fragmentation damage. Oops.
Double oops - a (short) ton is 2000 lb, not 1000. Fixed it now, originally said 4000 lb. Last edited by BraselC5048; 12-09-2014 at 02:55 PM. Reason: Mistake on basic weight units |
