Sunflower Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Does anyone know if the simulated radius of a bomb blast is known for each bomb we've got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ9 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 HI mate im sure someone on the zoo did some pretty ace research on that exact issue, the forum crash may have wiped it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hanglands Posted Sat September 16 2006 03:28 Hi, For lack of anything better to do, I decided to test the effective blast radii of pretty much all the ordnance available in game. When I say 'Effective' I mean the ability to destroy a truck. To test the level of effectiveness I lined up a hundred trucks spaced exactly 10m apart, with a pattern of lights leading up to the first vehicle to aid in dropping the bombs/rockets in the correct place every time. I only tested ordnance available to players, no AI only ordance (ie FAB5000) was tested. I have only tested ordnance that can be delivered with a single drop (a single click), ie single bombs and bomb pairs (all rockets are obviously pairs too). I have not tested fragmentation, or incendary devices. Some people will no doubt think "well done youve proven that big bombs do more damage than little bombs". Well, thats not strictly true, some of the results were a bit surprising, and so I retested until I was sure I had a valid result. Anyway, heres the table of results : So the statement "big bombs do more damage than little bombs" is not always true. Check the Japanese 600kg and 800kg results. the 800kg does LESS damages than the 600kg. And for many other bombloads the relationship between weight and blast radius is not always obvious. Why, for example are two SC250s not as effective as one SC500? Why is the effectiveness of 2000ks of FAB the same as 4000kg of SC? Why is the RAF/USAAF 1000lb bomb more effective than two 500lbs? Why are two SC500s only as effective as one? Why are two Japanese 250kg bombs over twice as effect as two SC250s, and over three times more effective than two FAB250s? Anyway, as an ardent bomber/Jabo-ist, this gave me food for thought. I will consider my bombloads a little more carefully. I hope someone else finds this useful. Regards.

Rattler Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 To be honest, if you notice the whole post, it was not my work, but I Googled it from the UbiZoo. Hats off to: "Hanglands" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
