Lead Balloon power ratio to normal projectile

[rohit_ripper]

ok..this is being discussed on The lemon thread..thought i would make a new one...

I tried different angles and powers for lead balloon..and the power ratio is somewhat 2.7..

and I'm guessing..was the exponential function value(2.718) was used in this one..?don't know..??

looks close though..

its very close to the power ratio jump jets use..say about 5 power less..so that makes it easier sometimes..

does anyone know the exact ratio..??

I usually always hit them perfectly with it, and get the same amount of points (within 5-10) regardless of Angle or Power

So do I..
but with hills and cliffs..if you are on the bottom..its not so helpful

Kicks the crap out of the terrain, though. (If explosions are set above Small.)
And even then, there's always a decent chance that the tank on the top of the cliff will get closer.

Ya..its does kick the crap out of terrain..one can use other weapons like earth or mountain mover before using lead balloon...

but what is the exact ratio..??just for curiosity..

It's the same as Jump Jets, which I believe is about 40%. Only Mike knows the exact ratio.

hmm...its little less than jump jets..a little less..
