i have 2 versions of zdoom 1.22 and 2.0.52 i jsut downloaded 2.0.52 and found the rocket launcher feels a bit off. so i did some comparisons on level 7 with god mode on. on average it took 4 to 5 rockets to kill a mancubus with 1.22 and 3 to 4 for a archnotrons. where with version 2.0.52 a mancubus took on average just 2 rockets and arachnotrons 2 and often just one.
for 1.22 it took me 61 rockets to win. (i tried to aim good each time).
with 2.0.52 i did it with jsut 25.
have the weapon powers been dilberatly tweaked or is this a bug?

Randy fixed a long-standing vanilla Doom blockmap bug which caused hitscan traces to not properly hit an enemy if the center of that enemy was in a different block than the point that was hit by the trace. In doing so, he inadvertantly caused a change to explosions which made them apply their damage in each block that an enemy was present in. So, if you shot a rocket at a Baron who was completely contained within a blockmap block, it would do normal damage. If that Baron was straddling four blocks, the rocket damage would be applied four times -- once in each block. This erroneous behavior will be fixed in 2.0.53, so the rocket will once again be doing its normal damage in all situations.

I think that kind of behavior sounds rather interesting. Why not have seemingly random more powerful weapons? Heh, you could even go so far as to have BSP use a higher splitfactor (pardon me if I'm using the wrong term) to increase the chance of causing randomly higher damage to monsters with explosves.
