Rocket inconsistencies.

I did notice that the FFAR (Weapon 175) and HVAR (Weapon 176) were identical in OOB12. The FFAR is more akin to the British RP-3.

Also, at Designtion Systems.Net it says that the HVAR's range was 3 miles which is consistent with the 96 range. Andreas Parsch's research is very reliable. The FFAR's range should be reduced though, and its stats should not be identical to that of the HVAR.

Yes but.... that website shows this under "warhead" for both rockets

Warhead 20 kg (45 lb) HE warhead (& others)

So yes the range should be altered for the FFAR to 32 ( and the 5" HVAR "Holy Moses" is fine where it is at 96 ) but it appears the warhead for both rockets is the same

I would think that despite the warhead being the same, the penetration values for a rocket traveling at 485 mph at launch and one traveling at 950 mph at launch would be significantly different. I would think the HE Pen values might be different, even if the HEK remained untouched.

There was also a SAP warhead that Parsch talks about, but does not list in the table beyond "(& others)". I don't know much about physics though beyond what I learned in highschool, so I could easily be wrong.

Fair enough. If you find any HE pen numbers for that rocket let us know. In the meantine I'll dig around and see what I can come up with

EDIT >>> OK, looking at the MBT OOB's does indeed show a difference between those two rockets. I'll go with the MBT stats for it
