Difference between "explosives=__" and "clusterbomblets=___"

Recommended Posts

Cluster bombs in the weps pack have both these entries, and was wondering what the difference is.

 

[WeaponData143]

TypeName=Rockeye

...

Explosives=100.000000

FusingDistance=100.000000

ClusterBomblets=247

ClusterDispersion=0.500000

...

 

[WeaponData144]

TypeName=CBU-24B

...

Explosives=269.399994

FusingDistance=150.000000

ClusterBomblets=665

ClusterDispersion=0.500000

...

 

Thanks!

Explosives is the power of the warhead measured in kilograms of TNT...I think.

ClusterBomblets is number of bomblets in a CBU container.

 

Now I'm not sure if Explosives for a CBU equals total explosive power or power per bomblet.

OK, that makes sense.

 

Does anyone know if it's accurate for the rockeye and CBU-59 have such lower values than the rest of the cluster bombs? I always thought rockeyes packed a more powerful punch...
