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. ![Screenshot (1592)](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/e/ae3bf5e9197ed50e5d8b447b17e52295b311120f.jpeg) ---

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
