Proposed Heavy AGL, equivalent to Mk19: "Treat it as a very light mortar, 1"
burst radius, three bursts per fire mission. Maximum range Can operate in
direct fire mode with 3 inch minimum range. Can select HE rounds (d8 vs
dispersed or point) or antiarmor (d12x2 vs point targets, ineffective vs
infantry) or smoke. Because the rounds detonate from striking branches and
brush, targets in soft cover are treated as being in hard cover."

IMHO, d12x2 is overkill. You're talking about a
30-45mm round here.  That's in the neighborhood of
half the diameter of a IAVR rocket.
