Default Rocket inconsistencies.

Hi All
Looking at the USA weapon 175 the "Holy Moses 5in" should range be 44 not 96?
The US weapon 174 "FFAR 5in Rckt" should also have its range dropped to 32 from 96?
see
http://www.tarrif.net/wwii/guides/a2g_rockets_2.htm
I also have my doubts about an accuracy of 5 for US weapons 173 174 and 175 they should probably be 1 as
"the rocket projectiles were inaccurate and took some considerable skill to aim properly and allow for the drop after firing"
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Typhoon
Though this is a quote for the Britsh 60 pdr Rocket looking at images of how the Holy Moses, etc are mounted suggests that it too had to be dropped before firing resulting in the same accuracy dropoff. also see
http://www.vmb-613.com/photographs/loading_hvars.html
"These weapons (Holy Moses) were unguided. Post-war survey results showed that they were not very effective against Japanese concrete reinforced bomb shelters and gun emplacements."
German rockets 173 and 174 and Russian Rockets 173 and 175 seem to have a size of 4 maybe this should be 1?
Best Chuck
