(Answered) SRM 4 Damage Values
« on: 31 August 2019, 20:54:30 »
Pretty sure this is an errata, but figured I'd ask it here in case there was something I'm not aware of. The SRM 4 damage values are listed as 0.6/0.6 for both Short and Medium ranges. I believe that should be 0.6/0.8, just as the Clan SRM 4 has. Everything else matches between IS and Clan SRMs, so assume this should as well.

They should both be 0.6/0.6.

AS missile damage is based on the 7 roll on the cluster chart.  For 4, this is a 3, with 2 damage per SRM (and divided by 10 for AS).  0.6
Artemis adds to, so we assume a 9 roll.  For 4, this is still a 3 and would still be 0.6 damage.

Artemis V adds 3 to the cluster chart, but also a -1 to-hit modifier. A 10 on the cluster chart is still 3 missiles, 0.6, but we add a 1.05 modifier to damage for the -1 to-hit. 0.63.
So the SRM 4 should be 0.6/0.6/0.63.

The rules for converting weapons to get the values is in SO.  ASC starts with listing them already calculated, but that's where they come from.

Posting errata on the Clan SRM 4 for ASC.
