Evening all,
I've worked my way through Design Sequence 2: CPR Guns and matched the TL 9 11 cm medium velocity cannon section. The ammunition section I was not so lucky, so here is what I came up with formatted per Book 3 page 30 under the Self-propelled 8 cm gun. The information is justed for the ammunition.
Weapon: Tech Level 9 11 cm Medium velocity gun
Ammunition: Rounds weigh 35 kg each (70 kg for RAP rounds)
HE: Cr105; Contact penetration/burst size/fragmentation: 19/3/3
HEAP: Cr157.5; Contact penetration: 41
KEAP: Cr105; Contact penetration, effective/long/extreme: 33/30/27
KEAPER: Cr115.5; Contact penetration, effective/long/extreme: 31/28/25
Flechette: Cr525; Contact penetration/hit DM/danger space: 2/+6/10 cm
CBM: Cr315; Contact penetration/burst size/fragmentation/hit DM: 21/12/7/+1
Illum: Cr210; Illumination radius/time: 84 cm/2 turns
Chaff: Cr210; Effect radius/time: 78 cm/2 turns
Chemical Smoke: Cr105; Cloud size/burn time: 2x2 cm/6 turns
Incendiary Smoke: Cr210; Cloud size/burn time: 2x2 cm/6 turns
There wasn't an example in Book 3 for Chemical here is what I came up with:
Chemical: Cr210; Cloud Size/type/virulence/duration/effect: 2x2 cm/Persistent/Lethal/Game ends/Death
Laser guidance may be added to a round for Cr800, variable ballistics may be added for Cr80, and RAP may be added for Cr105.
My KEAPER rounds Contact penetration of 31 at effective range doesn't match Book 3 page 15 which is 30. KEAPER rounds, per page 15, subtracts 2 from the KEAP numbers.
My attempt at checking the ammunition for the Self Propelled AC on Book 3 page is not going well.
All my ammunition costs are off. my cost/example cost
HE: 28/52
HEAP: 42/78
KEAP: 28/52
KEAPER: 30.8/58
Flechette: 140/260
CBM: 84/156
Illum: 56/104
Chaff: 56/104
Chemical Smoke: 28/52
Incendiary Smoke: 56/104
I get the HE as having frag pen of 2 and the example has 3.
The Flechette danger space I get for a low velocity/howitzer is 5 the example's danger space is 10.
My CBM hit DM is 0 (zero) and the example's is +1
My chaff round's effect radius is 60 cm
Incendiary Smoke's burn time, in my calculations, is 4 turns versus 2 in the example.
I've built an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that checked my numbers, which only means I'm at least consistent in my method.
