Status: offline 		Just a few questions. I want to make a small Nuke Air to Surface Missile so I assume (Bad Word) that in "Armor" you would chose Special, (that way Nuke Authority is required to fire) But I don't understand "DP Sub" Example what does the "38924" mean (I think it has something to do with the Damage Point Calculation so if a 91 is a Mk84 2000lb bomb then this is a really big nuke ( I want a small one so what numbers and how to figure them for say 10kt, 50kt, 100kt etc): The "Nuke/Surface" is self explanatory But what does the "50/70" represent? I printed out the manual and use it But Chapter 16.0 Platform Editor is written for someone with more knowledge than I and causes me to ask more question than it answers

Thanks, and Have a Nice Day

The 5 digits dp values represent a weapon payload.

So you´re missile carries the nuke xxxxx

take a look at the Asroc it is a Missile that carries a torpedo.

BTW I´m sorry about the quality of that chapter in the manual....

Was I right about what you have to do so that Nuclear Authority is required before lunch? Select Special for Armor!


Thanks, and have a Great Day
