GBU-53 Warhead

I’ve noticed that the recently added GBU-53 StormBreakers have the wrong amount of explosive mass in it’s warhead.
In-game right now it says 10.36 kg of explosive mass while it should be 48 kg.

There many different sources which states the warhead weighs around 105lbs/48kg

The raytheon factsheet in the sources
My main point was this source uses wikipedia as a source for the warhead weight which itself uses some source with a baseless claim that says Jeff White said it

This is a news article, not a source

True, you’re right

I also don’t see how the warhead would somehow be over half the weight of the entire bomb itself from looking at this diagram

He says that it also has a different total weight @Rafale和歼-10C百合

obligatory warhead != explosive filler, as you can see that filler gets lost via fuze, the cone for the Heat part and warhead casing

I’m stealing this.

Well, firstly; “Warhead” is not the same as “Explosive filler” , Warhead usually includes the weight of the shell/structure, fuses and the seeker, etc.

Secondly; Wikipedia and third party websites are not acceptable sources for things like this, Gaijin has requirements for sources when reporting inaccuracies:
