Value

string

When omitted

100%,100%,100%,100%,100%The default is applied whenever the warhead's section is present without the key, so a later file that carries the section and omits the key restores full damage against every armor class.

Entries are read in the armor class order none, wood, light, heavy, concrete, and a plain fraction is accepted in place of a percentage. The heavy percentage is also what a base defense’s anti-air and anti-armor values are computed from, and the none percentage its anti-infantry value, so lowering a defense weapon’s effect against one armor class lowers the rating the computer weighs it by.

A list of fewer than five entries stops the game as the rules are read

The five entries are taken in turn whatever the line holds, and the reading does not stop when the line runs out: a list of one to four percentages is read past its end and the game halts there, before a match begins. Leaving the key out altogether is safe, because the whole default list is used in place of the line. It is a short line, not a missing one, that cannot be survived.

The ARTYHE warhead ignores this outside campaigns

Outside campaign games the warhead named ARTYHE has its whole table replaced by hard-coded values, discarding the authored entries.
