Here is my original topic on Streak SRM damage testing: http://mwomercs.com/...results-inside/
Here, I present a collection of similar tests, but conducted in live matches.
I carried out all tests using SRM 2s while standing still at a range of 35 m. The test vehicles were a CPLT-A1 with six launchers, a RVN-4X with one launcher, and a RVN-3L with two launchers. All missiles appeared to hit the target. Generally, I fired missiles into what I perceived as the "center of area" (from the front perspective) of the torso section. (This is a bit of a judgement call, but most people will pick about the same point. Obviously, we can repeat the tests with more precise aimpoints if we really have to.) All deviations in this procedure are noted below.
Keep in mind that the tests in my earlier post were carried out with Streak SRM 2s, which select their own impact points. We can therefore expect these results to differ from the earlier ones, even if the mechanic for determining the damage inflicted per missile is the same.
COM-3A (96 armor, 95 structure, 191 total HP)
Test vehicle: CPLT-A1
6 missiles -- 61% -- 12 damage/missile
8 missiles -- 54% -- 11 damage/missile
JR7-D (128 armor, 125 structure, 253 total HP)
Test vehicle: CPLT-A1
6 missiles -- 59% -- 17 damage/missile
I fired at the grille above the head to avoid prematurely blowing the head off.
RVN-2X (224 armor, 125 structure, 349 HP)
Test vehicle: RVN-3L
12 missiles first fired at nose -- 98% -- 0.6 damage/missile
20 missiles then fired at "lower torso" -- 70% (28% change) -- 4.9 damage/missile
I first tried shooting at the tip of the raven's nose, but, seeing that this did almost no damage, I switched to shooting just below the the "beak" at the box to which the legs are connected.
RVN-3L (232 armor, 125 structure, 357 total HP)
Test vehicle CPLT-A1
18 missiles fired at "lower torso" -- 69% -- 6.1 damage/missile
This time, I fired all shots at the leg box, as above.
TBT-7M (240 armor, 175 structure, 415 total HP)
Test vehicle: RVN-3L
18 missiles -- 78% -- 5.1 damage/missile
CPLT-C1 (368 armor, 217 structure, 585 total HP)
Test vehicle: RVN-4X
6 missiles first fired at nose -- 98% -- 2 damage/missile
12 missiles then fired at point above cockpit, with the target's torso rotated downward -- 87% (11% change) -- 5.4 damage/missile
CTF-3D (352 armor, 223 structure, 575 total HP)
Test vehicle: CPLT-A1
34 missiles -- 76% -- 4.1 damage/missile
AS7-D (528 armor, 313 structure, 841 total HP)
Test vehicle: RVN-3L
86 missiles -- 84% -- 1.6 damage/missile
Evidently, I picked one of the worst possible aimpoints for this test. Missiles appeared to fly straight into the center torso, just below the square plates that look like reactive armor. In my earlier test (where I got 3.9 damage/missile), I was shooting between the top and bottom rows of square plates. Maybe this is a consistent pattern.
Credits: Much thanks to FactorlanP for allowing multiple withering barrages of missile fire to be directed at his person, and to the several other people who offered to help.
