Guess this is why trying to kill those things is such a pain!  Some of the values are 10-24 times what we can get on our fleets.  Granted no idea what or how some of those attributes are used.

All I know is my 92 fleets are having a hard time hitting them enough to make them charge up and go boom!  My triton build one can on the ones that don't have guidance scramblers (phase 2-5), but just barely.  My only real complaint on that is the charge builds right up to about to blow but never goes over it.  Not sure how I can hit them good for awhile and then just not hit them that last few times to get it to go off.  Oh well, is what it is. 

Off to more exciting things now like pulling teeth out with no Novocain.
