[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 5595091, member: 5868"] I don't know if I'd do this, unless you are trying to compare longbows to assault rifles in the same game. An assault rifle should require about the same level of skill to be effective at 300 meters as a pistol at 50 meters, or a sniper rifle at 600 meters. This system would unfairly penalize weapons that are actually capable of longer ranges (unless that's your intent). So for real-world reference, an M67 frag grenade has a thrown range of about 35 meters, with a kill radius of about 3 meters and wound radius of about 10 meters (yeah, the book says 5 and 15, but I know better). "Kill" radius = high damage/possible incapacitation; "wound" radius = low damage but minimal chance of incapacitation [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]Grenade Launcher[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - Assuming 40mm, range 350m, KR 3m, WR 10m [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]20 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 2000m, KR 2M, WR 5M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]25 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 3000m, KR 3M, WR 10M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]30 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 4000m, KR 5M, WR 12M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]40 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - ranger 4500m, KR 5M, WR 15M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]FIM-92 Stinger Missile[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - Range 6000m; KR 10m, WR 25M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]105 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]- Indirect fire: range 10500m, KR 25m, WR 50m; Direct fire (HE): range 1600m, KR 10m, WR 25M; (APERS) range 600m, KR: +15m per 100m range; WR +25m/100m [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]Hydra 70 Rockets[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 3000m, KR 8M, WR 15M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]120 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]; Direct Fire (HE): range 4000m, KR 10M, WR 25M; (CAN): range 600m, KR +25M per 100m range [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AIM-120 AMRAMM[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AIM-54 Phoenix Missile[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AIM-9 Sidewinder Missile [/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AIM-7 Sparrow Missile[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] (above weapons aren't reasonable capable of air-to-ground employment) [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]BGM- 71 TOW Missile [/B][/SIZE][/FONT] Range: 3750-4500 m (depends on version); KR 15M, WR 25M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]155 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]; (Indirect) Range 18km (30km w/RAP), KR 50M, WR 100M [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]200 mm Cannon[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] (indirect) range 24km, KR 75m, WR 150m [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AGM-114 Hellfire[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 8000m, KR 15m, WR 25m (assuming standard HF -- variants would be different) [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]AGM-65 Maverick Missile[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 15000m, KR 25m, WR 50m [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1][B]MGM-104 ATACMS[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] - range 100km, KR 75m, WR 150m You also need a standard MLRS spill: range 50 km, wound box 1 km x 1 km. ;) This assumes modern capabilities ... if you back into WWI/WWI/Vietnam eras the ranges and radii will get smaller.
