Discussion about a recent update dealing with the bombs A bit older with interesting hints on weapon-values in the lua-files by AeriaGloria: "When looking at DCS LUA warhead expl_mass values, also bear in mind that sometimes ED doesn’t always use the explosive weight, but uses the entire warhead weight as the explosive weight, this is done for M151 screenshot you posted and M229. This is almost always to make up for DCS not having fragmentation modeling." "Also, I said piercing has no value in DCS AFAIK. The cumulative field is for armor penetration. Cumaltive thickness is in meters of armor. And if armor it hits is less then cumulative thickness in size, then cumulative factor is applied. In case of S-8KOM, it’s .3 for thickness and 3 for cumulative factor. So if it hits armor less then 300mm in thickness, expl_mass is multiplied by 3 for total damage dealt" I won't subscribe his sentence here: "As far as I know, the piercing_mass figure has no effect in DCS. It seems to be related to true explosive weight in some way regardless of LUA figure for expl_mass." Hmm ... the German's WW2-bombs efficiency against somewhat hardened targets was always low compared to US or British WW2-bombs. German bombs have in common "piercing_mass = 1" - even the semi-piercing SD-models. While that variable for the Allied bombs is much higher and rises more or less reasonable with their penetration-capability. Just an educated guess, never checked it out here, consequently. https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-lua-datamine/tree/master/_G/weapons_table/weapons/bombs Quote "I did have an idea to completely rework the script ..." Please be cautious with your invest of time. It's always sad to see engaged community-members drift into resignation just because DCS remains what it is.
