Aircraft and Vehicle Durability

Doc Doom provided me with the hard coded plane durability in v1.13 of AW (SVGA). Some interesting tidbits in there, such as the fact that after the American planes the German ones are the most durable.

    Absolute target hardness.

     A26 - 05.2
     B17 - 11.0
     B25 - 06.6
    G4M6 - 01.0
    JU88 - 04.8
    Mosq.- 03.4

     Me262 - 2.0 <- Youch !          Truck-  1.65
     C47   - 2.
A small spreadsheet ( durablty.zip ) with a comparison between most of the planes/vehicles is avilable as well. It's in Quattro Pro 3.0 (?DOS, not Windoze) format.
