    Calc question

    Hello everyone. Does any of y'all have any tips on how to calc the collapse caused by this explosion? I know what this facility is, since it once existed in RL as well (it was the Mittelwerk complex), and I suppose I can get its size.

    Explosion question

    Lets say you calced the shockwave of an explosion to be capable of producing 300N of force while its 8 meters away from its epicenter. Could you use ISL to figure out the amount of force the shockwave can produce at its epicenter? And how?

    Making Explosion Yield's Better (Hopefully)

    So, currently we use the air blast radius equation (i.e this - Air blast radius (near-total fatalities) Yield: Y = ((x/0.28)^3)/1000 with Y in megatons of TNT and x the radius in km) to find the yield of an explosion that happens mid-air. However, in fiction, there is often no air blast radius...

    Should the yield of simultaneous explosions (close to each other), scale to a character.

    Consecutive Explosions

    How do we treat multiple small explosions as AP/Durability in terms of calcing them? Like Would say, 10 9-C explosions be just 9-C or 9-B/9-A? For exact figures, do we just add the Tons of TNT of each explosion together?

    Ground Explosion Order of Operations

    So, the formula for Ground Explosions is this- (with P being 1.37895 bars) R^3*((27136*P+8649)^(1/2)/13568-93/13568)^2 But does that mean the Top or Bottom equation?

    Explosion yield formula under different pressures?

    So we have two formulas for explosion yields: One for mid-air explosions and one for explosions against a surface. The later allows to change the pressure (In case, you know, the explosion happens underwater or in a vacuum), but the former doesn't. I feel like this should be fixed.
