I'm working on some data modifications, I found some info in the forum, but I'm still a bit confused:
what exactly is the relationship between kill rating and blast rating?

From what I've read, I assume that kill rating is the value used when a hit is obtained, and blast rating (together with blast radius) is used when there's a (near) miss or if area fire is used. Is this correct?

Thanks & regards,

you assume correct.

blast rating is tricky though since damage must decrease concentricly and be affected by ground obsticles and i am pretty sure cc-engine can not take all of that accurately into account.

a fine example for that is that a churchill shell too often kills half of your squad with indirect fire through two stonewalls, which is not impossible but realtively rare.

Explosion damage is weird.

Sometimes a single HE tank shell can kill whole team and sometimes it can land atop a soldier (lying in poor cover), create a crater under him and not kill anyone.
