Default Re: SAMs\' proximity fuses

Have you any figures about the damaging range of such warheads? AFAIK most SAM warheads use less the blast effect than the penetration of splinters and pre-formed rods, but I agree that the most weight you have, the most penetrators you're likely to get, and with the most KE.

Of course the sheer damage of the thing is counted in the HEK rating (and HEpen), but if you think that it's still to easy to escape these, I guess you could increment the accuracy rating to account for the larger destruction radius (and therefore the lower chance to escape the blast).

Remind though that when a missile misses, it is rarely by even 50m, given the huge speeds of both missile and target and the manoeuvring of both.
