The Styx EVER get his target!!!I've obtained with more test consistent results, as in this table:ECM problem: SS-N-2a 35% Decoys 40% PH=251% SS-N-2a 35% Decoys 35% PH=0% SS-N-2a 40% Decoys 40% PH=0% SS-N-2a 39% Decoys 40% PH=255% SS-N-2a 30% Decoys 40% PH=246%SS-N-2a 40% DECM 45% PH=251%As consecuence, if the ECM or chaff value is higher than the missile PH, the Game Engine rest the missile PH from 256, and the resulting number, as in the example by far higher than 100% (as 246%), is the very very high PH of a very primitive missile as Styx when the target is defended by advanced ECM !!!!!I fear this will be embedded in the Game Engine and of not easy solution .... I can only keep very low the ECM and decoys values, and higher the missile PH, to avoid the case .... Issue-002-ECM-and-decoys-mathematical-problem.pdf ECMTEST.zip
