Actually just one today.

 

I am trying to figure out the fuel category. This one eludes me, as I can't seem to come up with how that number is figured or what units of measure are used on it. It seems that when I check sourses against the existing DB, none of the figures I am using is matching the number in the slot for that AC.

 

Now this could mean my sources are not entirely correct, or that I am making a calculation error or its even possible that I am totally clueless (actually a high percentage chance on the latter) . Is there an easy explanation and I have just completely missed it?

The unit of measure is the kilogram (kg). If you click on the fuel field, and then look to the bottom left hand corner of the screen (right above your Start button if you're using Windows), you should see the "kg" symbol. The unit of measure will appear here for the other various fields as well.

There's another equally likely possibility: that the value you see is just wrong.

 

The HCDB does not claim to be the ultimate, coolest, best, super-ultra-accurate, uber-realistic database available. IMHO, no such creature exists, and the simple truth that databases such as these must constantly be updated, fixed, adjusted, and re-released is simple evidence of that very fact.

 

That said, the principal source for the values you see in the HCDB is Harpoon 4/4.1 (the paper rules and the data annexes). When I can't find H4.1 info, I look to other authoritative sources, which can vary widely. Sometimes its necessary, for example, to take a source for fuel capacity thats given in liters or pounds and convert it to kilos.

I don't think that the fuel (kg) value is currently an active parameter in HC. It is in H3.
