Awesome!  Kudos to HTC for adjusting damage.   :salute

BTW... testing shows the British 60lb/3in SAP rockets doing 187 lbs worth of damage!  :O

I've found that the German 28cm rockets to 285 lbs of damage.

Testing US bazooka rockets now... stand by....  ;)

Alrighty folks, the tally is in:

The British 3in/60lb SAP (semi-armor piercing) rockets now do 187 lbs of damage, that is an increase of 47 pts.  They are now the most powerful air to ground rockets in the game!  The US 5in rockets do 154 lbs of damage.

The German 28cm rockets have been upgraded to 285 lbs of damage, that is an increase of 51 points.  I did not notice any change in accuracy or splash damage.

The US 4.5in "bazooka" rockets now do 125 lbs of damage, an increase of 32 points (previously they had 93 points).  Mind you, these are the same rockets the M4A3 "Calliope" fires as well.  Now, instead of 4 rockets to bring down a house it only takes 3.

oh, and HTC, did you guys forget the HE values for the various tanks?   ;)
