I'm working on a scenario that uses a USN ship equipped with the RIM-8D Talos tipped with the 5kT W30 warhead. I'm firing it against retired US battleship as a target. My problem is that even after hitting the ship with four nukes, it's only a little damaged! I'm guessing it should be at the bottom instead. And the message log did say that all four impacted and there were no malfunctions.

I rebuilt the scenario using a DDE as the target, figuring that it might have been all that armor on the BB that kept it from being killed. Well, the same result happened, four hits, only somewhat damaged. I would have expected a lot more damage [:(].

Any suggestions? I really want to be able to make this scenario work.

Look in the database, the warhead is listed as a 5kT W30 but with an actual charge of 135Lb of HE doing 135 points of damage. So the weapon is incorrectly modeled in the DB.

I have reported issues elsewhere with certain Nukes, where the DP level is wrong. Mostly it effects missile warheads, whereas other weapons have the more realistic DP levels, it seems guided weapons do not.

Oops! Reported, thanks! 

Fixed in Build 446.
