For modern HEAT rounds look up how many inches of RHA equivalent it can punch through, times it by 7 and divide that total by 3.5 to get how dice of damage it has. If you can't find this information then as a rule of thumb a TL8 HEAT round will punch through 6.5 times it diameter in RHA equivalent, a TL7 on will do 5 times and while I haven't studied up on TL6 HEAT I'm ngoni get to guess it penetrates 3 times its diameter. <br /><br />All the other stats should work as is.

Where's the formula from? I don't think it was in UT or HT (rules for applying it to a warhead, sure). Could it be applied to TL7 or TL8 as well (would need TL modifier) or is it best to just stick with what HT gives us?MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054141897010475376.post-33425798645374626242016-10-13T10:24:46.989-05:002016-10-13T10:24:46.989-05:00That's what it is and yeah I do feel they are ...That's what it is and yeah I do feel they are a bit light but since this is meant to be compatible with Ultra-Tech I had to use the weight value David choose for his warheads.<br /><br />See my reply to Johnathan Maw for how I came up with my numbers.TheRyujinLPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300092562838705620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054141897010475376.post-36678143949964853362016-10-13T10:20:33.611-05:002016-10-13T10:20:33.611-05:00That's just the weight of the warhead. While U...That's just the weight of the warhead. While Ultra-Tech doesn't out right list the weights of the warheads it does give us the means of figuring it out. You know that the striker and hunter missile from pg. 169 of Ultra-Tech? The hunter missile has a 64mm warhead, ST3 and 3 levels of payload which works out to a warhead weight of about half a pound. The striker missile has a 100mm warhead, ST6 and also has 3 levels of payload which works out to about 2lbs of warhead weight which is right for a warhead with a volume 8 times larger then the 64mm one.<br /><br />I just extrapolated from there to get my weight formula.<br /><br />Now for the cost, a 64mm warhead costs $10 as a base which is doubled to $20 for being a HEAT round, this means they cost $40 a pound.
