-All the values and ranges I'm using are all calculated relative to the BIS Short Range missile class:+In the group of weapons the values and ranges I'm using are all calculated relative to the BIS Medium Range missile class:

 Just like the SRAAMs most of BIS' values for MRAAM aren't much different than the ammo_Missile_MediumRangeAABase class values. This time we dont have to assume as much. Just like the SRAAMs most of BIS' values for MRAAM aren't much different than the ammo_Missile_MediumRangeAABase class values.

-BIS actually has an AIM-120C and D.  But we will use the AIM-120C as our datum.+Normally you should find a weapon in game that you can find the real world equivalent of and get the specs. BIS actually has an AIM-120C and D ingame so that makes it a bit easier. We will use the AIM-120C as our datum.
  
->**Assumption #1** - the __real world__ The AIM-120B range is 75km, AIM-120C range is 90km and the AIM-120D range is 130km.+**Assumption #1** - the __real__ world ranges of the weapons we are looking at are:
  
->**Assumption #2** - The Armaverse AIM-120C(class ammo_Missile_AMRAAM_C) has a 12000m (12Km) max range.+  * AIM-120B = 75km 
 +  * AIM-120C = 90km 
 +  * AIM-120D = 130km.
  
-Now comes the maths here is an example+**Assumption #2** - The Armaverse AIM-120C (class ammo_Missile_AMRAAM_C) has a 12000m (12Km) max range. 
 + 
 +Now comes the maths here is an example.
  
 <code c> <code c>
-   (Range of your other weapon) / (AIM-120C Real World MAX Range) = "RangeRatio"  +   (Range of the weapon you are configing) / (DATUM Weapon Real World MAX Range) = "RangeRatio"  
 </code> </code>
  
-So:+So when we apply some real world figures we get a ration compared to the ingame "Datum weapon" we have chosen:
  
 <code c> <code c>
Line 27: Line 31:
 </code> </code>
  
-Now we have the "RangeRatio" we can multiply that by BIS's 5km max range value to give us the 'Adjusted/scaled range' for our new missile.+You can see by the results the figure you get is the "ratio" compared to our AIM-120C "Datum weapon"  Now we have the "RangeRatio" we can multiply that by BIS's 12km max range value to give us the 'Adjusted/scaled range' for our new missile.
  
 <code c> <code c>
Line 34: Line 38:
 AIM-120B =   (12km) / (0.83) = "10 (Km)" = "10000m" AIM-120B =   (12km) / (0.83) = "10 (Km)" = "10000m"
 AIM-120C =   (12km) / (1.00) = "12 (Km)" = "12000m" AIM-120C =   (12km) / (1.00) = "12 (Km)" = "12000m"
-AIM-120D =   (12km) / (1.44) = "12 (Km)" = "17333m"+AIM-120D =   (12km) / (1.44) = "17.333 (Km)" = "17333m"
 </code> </code>
 +
 +And that is it. The entire logic behind how we chose the range values of our weapons.
