Gotha-400 says it's kiloton yield while less damaging XM900 says 100 Kiloton

I think these two should both say "100 kiloton yield".

100 kt seems far too high. IMO Gotha should be 1 kt and Lucifers should be just called sub-kiloton warhead.

The practical maximum yield-to-weight ratio for fusion weapons (thermonuclear weapons) has been estimated to six megatons of TNT per metric ton of bomb mass (25 TJ/kg). Yields of 5.2 megatons/ton and higher have been reported for large weapons constructed for single-warhead use in the early 1960s. Since then, the smaller warheads needed to achieve the increased net damage efficiency (bomb damage/bomb mass) of multiple warhead systems have resulted in increases in the yield/mass ratio for single modern warheads.


The Gotha 400 says in version 1.9.1 ( current RC )
description= "This is a tracking missile with a kiloton-yield warhead. "
damage= "thermo:10d20;
mass= "30"

Variable yield tactical nuclear weapon—mass only 23 kg (51 lb), lightest ever deployed by the United States.
