but then theres 2 jackhammers what sense does that make

He means make screamers a bit better. Their prox is too low, and fuse too long.

Ok, these are the current stats of screamers:

Capacity: 16 rockets
Delay: 0.7s
Damage: 3000
Splash: 35m
Det prox: 20m
Energy: 30
Velocity: 95 m/s
Grid: 4
Mass: 1200kg
Lic: 3/-/5/-/-
So to make this thread effective please state what you want to change.

For comparisons sake, here are the stats of jack hammers:

Capacity: 12 rockets
Delay: 0.5s
Damage: 2000
Splash: 60m
Det prox: 30m
Energy: 0
Velocity: 90 m/s
Grid: 4
Mass: 1200kg
Lic: -/-/4/-/-

Det prox of 25 splash 50 no energy req for firing.

- Screamer Rocket energy firing requirements dropped from 30 to zero.
