A warhead is lighter than a corosponding solid block of the same dimensions obviously. * If macroshells have warheads it makes calculating mass and therefore kinetic energy problematic. Further launch delivery systems like the peacekeeper relied on numerous small yield warheads of maybe total count of 3 megatons. As well as far as I know the Castle Bravo test was the US's most powerful nuclear detonation and it was A) typicaly estimated at 15 megatons and B) a complete and unexpected accident. Hiroshima was quite effectively destroyed with 16 kilotons. *Not to dwell on it but requiring 20 megatons to destroy a city seems over enthusastic. We afterall talk of nukes by their explosive payload not their total mass of reactant. * I'm not sure of the logic assuming "kilo-tonne" is its weight as opposed to its explosive yield.
* One shouldn't construe being the size of something to weighing the same especially two radically differnt items designed for completely alternate tasks Ie a Macroshell and a tank/ Land Raider * 20th century nukes required 20 megatons to "destroy" a city * Shell size in relation to type of macrocannon Issues I misunderstood/couldn't find source: I hope they help inform and cultivate your work. Let me know what you think.Since you ask here are my initial thoughts. It isn’t proof read, so any amendments there are also appreciated. Magos wrote:Feedback and / or quotes more than welcome. I like each block of text to be followed by quotes.Īlso gonna add torpedoes eventually, couldn’t find Connor’s page where he discusses possible masses for torpedoes, though it was thousands of tons iirc… and would need to be considering the heavy macro-shells.įeedback and / or quotes more than welcome. This current document still needs more sources, such as fusion based warheads being used (cant find my edition of space hulk) or mentioned. I will update these documents as and when I can. Rather than spanning several orders of magnitude or being completely ‘up in the air’ as some people like to keep it. I approach from several angles (kinetic energy, ramming, and case studies) to derive the magnitude I believe to be most plausible for 40K capital firepower. I might make the website more of a technical encyclopaedia based on the documents or something later.Īnyway, here is the first document, naval firepower! Thanks for the warm welcome on the introductory page I have moved away from the website idea for a little while, and decided to do my analysis in word documents first due to some heavy set backs on my site (disappearing paragraphs, needed something more robust). Didn’t know to put this here or In the other websites, but for now ‘other analysis’ seems more appropriate.
