Submunition (SUB)


  • BLAST_RADIUS: (number) - This is the distance that the central blast of will affect at the point that sub munitions are released.  This is most likely to affect aircraft in vicinity of air-bursting munitions.  Units are meters.
  • BLAST_FORCE: (number) - The amount of penetrative force that the blast of the detonation will have.  This should be compared against strength of targets where a plane or helicopter has a penetrative strength of 25.  The blast force will decay with distance and when it is greater than one of these values, damage will likely be inflicted on that target.
  • BLAST_FORCE_HALF_DIST: (number) - This defines how quickly the blast force reduces at distances away from the detonation point.  It is the distance that blast force will be half its original strength.  Therefore smaller values imply that explosion is stronger over a larger area.  Units are meters.
  • SUB_TYPE: “RADIAL” - This defines the type of the submuntion explosions when they hit the ground.  This defines that it should be a radial explosion around each detonation point.
  • SUB_QUANTITY: (number) - This defines the number of sub munitions released by this projectile.
  • SUB_RADIUS: (number) - This is the distance that each submunition blast of will affect (this is a radial effect).  Units are meters.
  • SUB_PEN: (number) - The amount of penetrative force that each submunition will have.  This should be compared against strength of targets where a tank has a penetrative strength of 85, a vehicle has a penetrative strength of about 35 and a person has a penetrative strength of about 8.  The blast force will decay with distance and when it is greater than one of these values, damage will likely be inflicted on that target.
  • SUB_PEN_HALF_DIST: (number) - This defines how quickly the penetration force reduces at distances away from the submunition impact point.  It is the distance that blast force will be half its original strength.  Therefore smaller values imply that explosion is stronger over a larger area.  Units are meters.
