How accurately are rocket warheads modelled

[Gunfreak]

So we know the splash damage on rockets and bombs are off, but is apparently worked on now.

 

But how accurately are the modeled.

Are the 3-4kg warheads  in the S8 different in damage vs the 1kg warheads on the Hydra?

Splash damage has modeled, but has missing the fragmentation damage, actualy on progress and not release yet.

Splash damage isn't modeled correctly.

The difference in explosive force between a mk82 500lb bomb and a mk84 2000lb is minimal. The mk84 delivers more damage on a point (so a bunker or ship) However its no  different from a mk82 in blast radius.

Place 3 wooden barracks close by drop a 500lb bomb on the middle barracks and only the middle barracks get destroyed. Drop a 2000lb bomb on the same 3 barracks and the two barrackses to the side is still whole.

The explosive force of an mk82 isn't just 4 times that of a 500lb mk82. But more like 6 or 7 times as the shell of the mk84 is thicker creating a very powerful shock wave. That just isn't modelled in DCS.

Its less about the bombs and more about the lack of fragmentation model (in progress) and building and ground unit DM.

Ah ok. Just remembered the pure frustration of trying to blow up 3 closely placed wooden barracks with 2 mk84s. I could never get all 3. Even if I dropped an mk84 between 2 of the barracks (they were spaced like 20 meters from reach other) it wouldn't blow them up.
