SUB_TYPE: “RADIAL” - This defines the type of the submuntion explosions when they hit the
ground. This defines that it should be a radial explosion around each detonation point.
SUB_QUANTITY: (number) - This defines the number of sub munitions released by this
projectile.
SUB_RADIUS: (number) - This is the distance that each submunition blast of will affect (this
is a radial effect). Units are meters.
SUB_PEN: (number) - The amount of penetrative force that each submunition will have.
This should be compared against strength of targets where a tank has a penetrative strength
of 85, a vehicle has a penetrative strength of about 35 and a person has a penetrative
strength of about 8. The blast force will decay with distance and when it is greater than one
of these values, damage will likely be inflicted on that target.
SUB_PEN_HALF_DIST: (number) - This defines how quickly the penetration force reduces at
distances away from the submunition impact point. It is the distance that blast force will be
half its original strength. Therefore smaller values imply that explosion is stronger over a
larger area. Units are meters.
