Relative Projectile Strength
by *

The following is a representation of projectile strength in pounds of ordinance. It should be noted that the damage modeling for objects differs from that of aircraft in Aces High. For aircraft, kinetic energy factors into the damage inflicted. That means the faster the velocity of the round when it hits, the more damage it will impart to the target plane. For objects the damage inflicted is the same regardless of round velocity.
