Reworked how HEAT curves are calculated.

  • ACF Shaped Charges have had peak standoffs considerably further than what is realistic (up to 16x in some cases).
  • For Missile APS systems, triggering an ATGM's warhead would be useless since the ATGM would retain penetration to vary far distances.
  • The primary cause was that the breakup time was also excessively long.
  • Curve parameters have been adjusted so as to mostly match pre change passive and peak standoffs.

List of important changes:

  • Gamma set to 1 in HEAT calculations so that curves are now continuous
  • Breakup time scaled to more realistic values, resulting in peak standoff being more realistic. Penmul and passive standoff adjusted to account for this.
