Why is this? Why does an explosive projectile the size of a golf ball do more damage and have a larger radius than a missile the size of a human, with its warhead probably the size of a human head?

The missile warhead is **** Caldari manufacturing.
The warhead on the Flaylock rocket is a triumph of Sebiestor engineering.

You do realize that the Sebiestor are quite possibly the best engineers in all New Eden right?

Well for starters the Flaylock has a 4 round magazine with a max range of about 20m while the Missiles have 12 round capacity, faster projectile speed and range. Not to mention that the Flaylock was designed for Anti-Personnel use, while the Missile Launcher was designed for Anti-Vehicle.

Because QQ, dude. QQ.
Here's one: Why does a PLC glob which is obviously the size of a Heavy torso need almost pinpoint accuracy to register as a hit? Why don't near-misses by the actual round (in the center of the glob) still register as splash damage from the rest of that ball moving through a target?

And if you can aim, you're generally getting direct hits with a large missile turret. Getting splash to affect infantry is hard from such an angle, you're better going for direct hits. Which do a lot more damage and are capable of obliterating heavy vehicles.
Maybe that's why?

Because armor piercing rounds have neglegible splash.
A better comparison would be to the breach flaylocks splash damage. You know. Compare shaped charges to shaped charges. |

Also, it takes 7 seconds for an Abrams to reach less than half of its top speed. 20,000 years in the future. You really think it's going to have the same motor?
