The aim of this page is to find the area (near-total fatalities) that an explosion should cover to reach certain AP tier.
Using the formula from the explosion yield calculations page, R = Y^(1/3)*0.28, where Y is the yield in kilotons and R the radius in km, so that:
- Yield*2 ==> Radius*2^(1/3) = Radius*1.26
- Yield*5 ==> Radius*5^(1/3) = Radius*1.71
- Yield*10 ==> Radius*10^(1/3) = Radius*2.1544
Since the calculator didn't give results below 1 kiloton, the above would be useful; using these lists we will find the required area.
Nuclear Explosions
These values can only be used when the detonation has a nuclear origin. See Explosion Yield Calculations for more information.
