artillery cluster ammo

[Koh]

One thing I'd be interested in finding out is how much of the hits scored usually land on the top of the vehicle. I'd imagine that given the nature of the shells, most of the bomblets that hit the vehicle at all will fall on top of it.

I ran a test in MBT and the results I got were 25/59 of the hits scored were registered as hitting the top of the vehicle. Do the bomblets and cluster munitions use a different method than other artillery shells to calculate where on the vehicle the bomblet hits? Seems to me that the top hit percentage should be higher, unless the "side hull" and other such hits represent something different than literal side hull hits. I've always taken the extra penetration in bomblets and cluster munitions to represent the fact that they pretty much more often than not hit the top of the vehicle, while the game mechanics force them to hit the sides and front hull of the vehicle.
