So i think that I know what explosion distance does.

What it does is it modifies the distance to the target that the missile will explode at. I think.

The problem with modifying damage is that as you increase the damage, the radius of damage increases.

So you can modify missile damage, but when you do so you get missiles that blow up entire wings. This is another reason why the hard missile hit clicky is so strong.

I am now fairly sure that the explosion size is hard coded by explosion damage.

Which means that it is not possible to do what I want.

Edit except with MIRVs

Sorry, I didn't understand what you've done so far. You may be right. Try to ask Trucidation. He's made missile mod so he surely knows more about it.

One suggestion - you can try to change DistanceDetonator type to ImpactDetonator. I doubt it uses other algorithm but I think it's worth to try.

Where is the switch? I only see distance detonators and MIRV detonators in rockets.xml

Rockets seem to be defined by their detonator type, carcass and seeker type. But i don't see anything other than MIRV and distance detonators

Edit: and then MIRV releases normal missiles defined in the same way

ImpactDetonator is an unused type of detonator but it exists. Check the ..\Data\XMLSchema\AllModules.xsd. If you change the detonator type and remove explosion_distance line it should work.
