Do you have any idea what the blast radius of your regular Howitzer shell is?
No, but I'd like to tell you a story about cortex command space marines, like the one I'm using a sprite of.
Explosions are their joy.
Bullets tickle them.
Slicing their enemies in half does not faze them, and I've come to an assumption that they think their enemies are dummies, because they aren't very smart.
