The Boys 8-A Upgrade (possibly higher)

218
74
I have seen several calculations that were redone on this feat, which yielded 8-B that is currently used for Homelander and comparable characters. However, I have seen other calculations that account for a much higher capability, up to level 8-A+ and one with Low 7-B although I doubt it can be used. Here are the calculations:

289,30 Tons (8-A)

775,18 Tons (8-A+)

3,05 Kilotons (Low 7-C)

Perhaps one of these could be used to finally improve Homelander's level. It is worth noting that all calculations were also reviewed and accepted.
 
The Small Town one has been talked about before and was debunked, and I believe that the 8-A+ one was as well because it didn't account for inverse-square law.

The lowest one, the one with the 289.3 Tons value used the exact same measurements as the 8-B calc that was accepted except it increased the blasts preasure from 9 psi to 20 psi, resulting in a higher value

The 289.3 Ton calc was accepted, and because it's the exact same as the 8-B calc that we have been using, but just re-adjusted for the pressure, I'd say we apply that one

It seems fair to me then, although the calculation of 8-A+ I think could still be used, it's a shame it doesn't have the Law of Inverse Square

The second 8-A+ calculation is really close to the first 8-A one without inverse square law so it's good. The first one, however, takes inverse square law into account to give us an accurate value of how much force Homie actually took.
 
we need actual mods and calc members here agreeing with these for this to be accepted and I am pretty sure that the two heigher calcs have been flat out rejected so they can't be used at all the one for the 289 tons is some what dubious but for any actual conlusion on that one we need a calc member for greater insight.

All three calculations were already accepted but the third one is outdated and was rejected on a previous thread. The first and second one are both good and actually yield very similar results without inverse square law so the first one takes it for including it and also being the most recent one.

I am almost certain that the second calc has been brought up in another discussion thread about this and its results where rejected, the first one is more up to debate hence why I am saying we should get a calc member in here so that they can evaluate the pressure difference and how applicable it is and we still need at least 2 mods to even accept the thread in the first place so yeah.

The second calculation was only rejected due to lacking inverse square law which the first one improved upon but yeah you're right.
 
Does not open
The video for the second and third calculation is gone so you're gonna have to look at the Imgur link on the first one unless you can't see it for whatever reason.



Here's a different video with the explosion in it at around 1:20.

My thoughts exactly the 289 should be the one used
 
but what about the pressure differential? is it actually accurate or is there something funky with it?
No we usually use 20 psi anyways standard unless we have any reason to use less, and the 289 ton one also corrects the incorrectly done ISL part of the last version as well so it should be best

The pressure value seems to me that it should be 20 PSI. In the feat, the buildings are shown to be practically demolished after the explosion, which fits with the description of PSI of this

oh ok thats good we can bump homelander and the ones reletive to him to 8-A then, we still do need like 2 mods to get this stuff put in though.


can anyone contact any mod knowledgable on the boys?
 
I mean Wokistan, Eficiente and CrimsonStarFallen are the main ones since they support the TV show stuff with wokistan probs being the main fellow.
 
I agree with using TheRustyOne's version (this should have been a calculation thread considering the OP is bringing multiple calcs for the same feat but okay).
 
This is the most recalced feat I've ever seen, but what was the problem with KLOL's version?
 
He used 9 PSI for some reason even when the standard is 20 PSI for outbursts of this level.
 
Is it? I assume he may have just went for 9 PSI for a reasonable lowball

20 PSI is usually what we use standard unless we had reason otherwise but this feat is valid for 20 PSI, also the fact that Rusty also corrected the previous incorrect ISL that was done on the previous version so there were actually two fixes with this new version
 
Obviously, I'm alright with using my calculation.

The other two don't take account the inverse square law, and I don't think the Low 7-C method of calculating the radius is correct. As the man in the scan being was shown to have survived with minimal injuries, while the fence behind him was still intact. 20 psi without protection is 100% fatal for normal humans, so I'm positive that size isn't usable.

The second 8-A calc isn't all that bad, I can't give it an in depth look, but it's basically the same results as my own. 775 vs 754, these are basically indistinguishable. I think it at least further supports the explosion being 20 psi, as it did shatter the entire facility. The big issue I can see is that it doesn't take the ISL like I said above, but my calc does.

So, I was waiting for S4 to finish to make a CRT and edit the profiles
Yet somehow I forgot to check if the calc was accepted lol. Good to know it is
 
Think they're waiting for the last episode ro apply changes
