Every weapon is referred to by its group "like Rocket Launchers, Stickybomb Launchers" except for "the Rocket Launcher and Direct Hit" where weapons are named specifically.
 
  
Maybe change it to "like Rocket Launchers"?
 
  
Alternately, include each weapon type "Rocket Launchers, Sticky Launchers and Syringe Guns"?). This is assuming that these weapons do determine distance on impact.

This group of weapons is the same as that in the section on reduced ramp-ups, so maybe move this section to there? [[User:Mechlord|Mechlord]] 06:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone know the exact formula used for the distance modifier? I know it is a cubic function, but I want to know which formula results in that graph. If you have the one for splash that would be helpful as well, but it isn't needed. Answers appreciated!
: Kind of a related topic here, a lot of terms in this article (Rocket Launchers, Syringe Guns, Flamethrowers and so forth) are used to describe groups of weapons with similar properties. However, the links direct only to one weapon from those groups, usually the vanilla one. For example, "Rocket Launchers" links to the Soldier's default Rocket Launcher, thereby suggesting (incorrectly) that the Direct Hit and Black Box are not affected by these mechanics. I suggest creating disambiguation pages for the different "weapon categories", and linking to those instead. [[User:Zoon-li|Zoon-li]] 00:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I feel that there should be some reference to Buildings and how they receive/deal damage, like a short blurb with a link to the Buildings main article.  --[[User:Aranarth|Aranarth]] 00:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Distance Modifier Formula

Does anyone know the exact formula used for the distance modifier? I know it is a cubic function, but I want to know which formula results in that graph. If you have the one for splash that would be helpful as well, but it isn't needed. Answers appreciated! (M)(S)(C)(O)(U)(T)(Y) (talk) 23:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
