:backhand_index_pointing_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the prob lem.

before research Rocketry

After research Rocketry, only attack bonus vs. long-range warships, which means they will no longer cause bonus damage vs. damage vs. fire ships and hulks.

The Rocketry technology replaces the projectile.
The original projectile deals +5 bonus damage vs. ships (Armor Class 16)
The new projectile deals +5 bonus damage vs. Long-range ships (Armor Class 60)

I assume that’s a mistake, because the Rocketry techonology gives the new projectile a +25% bonus vs Armor Class 16, which naturally has zero effect.

here’s the original projectile

and here’s the effect of Rocketry

I know these, but it’s still a problem. It seems they only change the data of rocket projectile but forgot to change theoriginal projectile
