Default Re: creating a new, fictional oob

Thinking about the low-caliber railgun issue...
I assume that weapon is only supposed to fire KE armor-piercing rounds, as opposed to any kind of explosive ammo, right?

If so, maybe you could try fiddling with the HE round slot, give it a minimal HE kill (say 2) and the same penetration as you did with your AP or sabot round. Of course, that's if you don't mind it being fired carelessly at infantry, helos, aircrafts...

Looks like the same penetration rating applied to a HE round will tend to deal more damage, for some reason. Maybe the difference won't show up with large penetration values, but maybe that's worth experimienting.
Note: Keep the HE kill low, to avoid blatant multiple kills on AFVs stacked in one hex.
