Question About Space Marine Calc

Not familiar with Warhammer, but we could ask Crabwhale as he appears to be the most active supporter. Anyway, I think another factor was that planet Gorro does legit have stronger gravity than Earth's; one hit is the fact that 200 kilometers was within the orbit contrary to 160 km being Earth's orbiting range. I also don't know of any statement confirming whether or not it has air resistance though.
I do agree that Terminal Velocity would be important unless there's context of their being no air resistance. Which this tool could help.

It's based on a method for calculating the kinetic energy of falls. It doesn't follow the usual terminal velocity formula, the final result doesn't come just from speed anyways.

It looks more like Potential energy rather than kinetic energy. But DontTalk did go over calculations regarding free falling and that they should only exceed terminal velocity speeds if there's context behind it. If there's proof that planet Gorro has no air resistance, then the calc is fine; but contrary to popular belief. Most reentry feats usually get Wall level results when done using more accurate formulas.
