Potential issue with explosion/other calcs

It says the area of a hemisphere is half that of a sphere, which is 4pi *r^2.

Howeveeeeer, that doesn't take into consideration the flat surface (circle) of the base of the hemisphere, which is an additional pi *r^2, which makes the total area of a hemisphere 3pi*r^2.

We can't look up every calc that used this ever, but it could change some results.

So what it woukd change is the area from 4*pi*r^2 to 2**pi*r^2, right? That will only make the result twice as big if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I suggested other way to scale the yield of a explosion to someone who tank it, is written in this thread.

That's the formula for a sphere. I'm talking about the hemisphere which people think is just half of the area of the sphere without including the base of the shape.
