    When I hit something in TA with rocket, I can read in text buffer two values.

    arial
    EE

    My guess:
    Arial is velocity of rocket at the impact.
    EE is depending on the warhead and speed at impact, and it is probably strenght of the explosion.

    Is that correct?

    Blast radius is set for every type of weapon, or it depends on that EE value too?

    Thx, though I am not sure what it means. :)

    I have another question. Today I tested rockets again to complete my evaluation of each type's performance, and I noticed strange behaviour, which was hard to understand. I don't know if it is simulated on purpose or if it is a bug. It happened with all types of rockets.

    When I launched rocket salvo at the target, hangar, only first rocket did full damage, other rockets did only half of the damage.
    Salvo wasn't required at all, manual shooting with some delay produced same effect.
    When I launched only one rocket each pass, it caused correct damage every time.

    It seems that damage from rockets is reduced to half for short period of time after first hit (at least 5s). I don't know if bombs are affected in similar way.

    shooting has similar effect...you basically have to fire in salvos or waste ammo.

    try this.....take hmack to a field (even at friendly), pick a target (eg hangar) and fire at it continously. after a priod of time the shots will stop hitting...showhits will even show this. the worst part is your ammo will continue to be used even though you are not hitting the target. :turret:
