A look at explosives and bombs ratings
********************
Let's start by looking at some flame weapons. ******************** Flamethrower Whd = 45 HEP = 0 HEK = 25 APP = 0 HEAT = 14 VehFlamethrower Whd = 45 HEP = 0 HEK = 40 APP = 0 HEAT = 25 Napalm 250 Whd = 3 HEP = 5 HEK = 50 APP = 0 HEAT = 0 Napalm 500 Whd = 5 HEP = 10 HEK = 100 APP = 0 HEAT = 0 Molotov (Wpn #119 OOB #8) Whd = 3 HEP = 4 HEK = 4 APP = 222 HEAT = 9 Fire Bomb (Wpn #117 OOB #8) Whd = 35 HEP = 10 HEK = 25 APP = 222 HEAT = 10 I find it curious that the Molotov has a HEP rating when neither a Flamethrower nor a VehFlamethrower do. I find it curious that Molotov's and Fire Bombs have an APP rating when neither Flamethrower nor a VehFlamethrower do. Both Flamethrowers and VehFlamethrower are frequently not the #1 weapon in a unit/vehicle and could use an App = 222 rating. ******************** Let's move on to explosives. ******************** Hand Grenade Whd = 3 HEP = 1 HEK = 6 81mm Mortar Whd = 4 HEP = 1 HEK = 11 120mm Mortar Whd = 5 HEP = 2 HEK = 19 Satchel Charge Whd = 10 HEP = 18 HEK = 20 APP = 0 HEAT = 15 100kg Bomb Whd = 10 HEP = 4 HEK = 20 250kg Bomb Whd = 25 HEP = 6 HEK = 50 500kg Bomb Whd = 50 HEP = 8 HEK = 100 1000kg Bomb Whd = 100 HEP = 12 HEK = 200 MON-50 Mine (Wpn #60 OOB #22) Whd = 5 HEP = 0 HEK = 15 Claymore Mine (Wpn #118 OOB #12) Whd = 5 HEP = 0 HEK = 15 Frag Bomb (Wpn #116 OOB #22) Whd = 5 HEP = 2 HEK = 15 APP = 222 HEAT = 2 Anti-Tank Mine (Wpn #118 OOB #22) Whd = 10 HEP = 9 HEK = 6 APP = 222 HEAT = 20 Pole Mine (Wpn #119 OOB #8) Whd = 10 HEP = 10 HEK = 6 APP = 222 HEAT = 18 Bomb (Wpn #122 OOB #8) Whd = 10 HEP = 15 HEK = 50 APP = 222 HEAT = 15 Improvised Bomb (Wpn #21 OOB #17) Whd = 20 HEP = 15 HEK = 50 APP = 222 HEAT = 15 Dynamite (Wpn #117 OOB #22) Whd = 10 HEP = 19 HEK = 21 APP = 222 HEAT = 15 Booby Trap Whd = 5 HEP = 2 HEK = 8 APP = 222 HEAT = 2 Suicide Vest Whd = 4 HEP = 1 HEK = 20 Fertilizer Bomb (the standard IED in WinSPMBT) Whd = 96 HEP = 3 HEK = 192 I find it curious that the Frag Bomb is a near copy of the Claymore/Mon-50 yet it has HEP, APP, and HEAT ratings. Apparently the Bomb, Improvised Bomb, Dynamite, and Satchel Charge are similar - yet the Bomb and Improvised Bomb have over twice HEK rating (thus presumably explosives) of Dynamite or a Satchel Charge. The standard WinSPMBT Booby Trap is apparently a weak 120mm mortar round (1/2 the HEK). Your friendly neighborhood Suicide Bomber apparently packs the equivalent of an 81mm mortar shell with twice the explosives (HEK rating). Your average IED is a Fertilizer Bomb ... and an impressive bomb it is ! It compares VERY favorably to the standard 1000kg aerial bomb ! |
