Default Re: Have cluster munitions become less effective?

10 for tubes
Rockets are generally 10 to though some are 18
Tubes are marginally more effective due to bigger warheads.

Fairly important as about 5-10 years after they come into service main players MBT generally need a hull hit to take them out. 7-10 top hull becomes the norm.

Best uses in my view really are vs priority targets like ATGMs & SAMs or vs troop transport.
Still useful vs second world or some old MBTs but best to try & coordinate with ground forces so can attack survivors while suppressed.
Russian T0S-1 flame rocket is scary & handy for things like river crossings.
High hard & soft target kill & suppression so survivors are open to attack, any surviving infantry are probably blinded by smoke & fires which can even effect TI if LOS enters enough hexes
