Supernus Gigas Star Giants 192	Posted - 2014.02.03 18:17:00 - [1] - Quote This is something that, surprise-surprise, defies all logic. Why do Missiles have a damage drop-off? Maximum range, sure that makes sense, they only have so much fuel to burn, but the damage drop-off doesn't make sense. If I launch an ICBM at Quebec, and I launch another one at the Moon; the one I launched at the Moon isn't going to explode any less than the one I launched at Quebec. Of course there are more prevalent issues at hand concerning HAVs, but it just doesn't make any damn sense! *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*

Of course there are more prevalent issues at hand concerning HAVs, but a problem's a problem. when a missile explodes, it explodes its remaining (excess) fuel as well, ie: bigger boom, more excellerant... and visa-versa if it detonates at its max range, ie: less fuel remaining, smaller boom its only rocket science 101... u surely could have figured this out on ur own with minimal effort
Aramis Madrigal SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 122	Posted - 2014.02.03 18:31:00 - [6] - Quote Some of the damage a missile does is as a result of kinetic energy and unspent fuel. A missile with a relatively small warhead may have a significant portion of the damage profile attributable to the aforementioned factors. It's not completely unreasonable that there be some damage drop off with range. That's not to say that it's appropriate in this case, only that it's plausible. -Aramis

And if that's the case why don't Eve missiles, that have much large fuel capacities and fly for 10's or 100's of kilometers, not suffer dropoff damage? It's a poor game mechanic.

Then why, TELL ME WHY, does a missile do less damage at a certain distance and then keeps doing that same amount of damage for any distance past this? Shouldn't it do less? Have you seen the size of these missiles? They as big if not bigger than an FGM-148 Javelin which has an effective range of up to 2500m! Do you think an FGM-148 does significantly less damage at that range because it has a bit less fuel?

No, the amount of fuel left in any projectile missile is inconsequential to it's destructive output, that kind of thinking would work if you were firing bottle rockets at your neighbor's house, please don't talk down to people like you know anything about engineering. The only propelled projectile that would be susceptible to falloff is the PL as it generates a self-decaying ball of death, it would make sense if it got weaker as it traveled, as has nothing to keep it charged.

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3897	Posted - 2014.02.03 20:02:00 - [22] - Quote A missile that hit Quebec would actually have a bigger blast radius than one that hit the moon. This is because the moon lacks oxygen, which is needed for combustion. And Chaotic Fox is right; a missile in space would burn less fuel because there is no resistance. It could actually shut off its engine and drift in the same direction, at the same speed. It would only need to turn on its engine to increase speed or change course.
