Have made sure to include the errata?

Evening from Roy, WA,

In an effort to figure out the MT Consolidated Errata MRL weapon addition to the Craft Design system I'm checking to see if it was built using CT Striker Book 3.

In CT Striker Book 3 the MRL modifies a mortar's characteristics. To figure out the mortar's characteristics I'm following the Medium Velocity Gun example in Design Sequence 2.

I've run into a problem with the HEAP ammo for the TL 6 and TL 7 Hyper-Velocity gun.

According to Design Sequence Tables p. 8 HEAP penetration has the following modifiers: TL 7 - 8 count down 3 rolls, TL 9 - 10 count down 5 rolls, TL 11 - 12 count down 6 rolls, TL 13 count down 5 rolls, Medium Velocity Gun count up 2, High Velocity Gun count up 3, TL 6 Hyper Velocity Gun count up 4, and Tl 7+ Hyper Velocity gun no modifier.

1. Design Sequence Tables p. 6 shows the following penetration for a TL 6 HEAP round.

2 cm = -
2.5 cm = -
3 cm = 1
3.5 cm = 3
4 cm = 6
4.5 = 9
5 cm = 12
5.5 cm = 15
6 cm = 18
6.5 cm = 21
7 cm = 24

The requirement a TL 6 Hyper Velocity gun's HEAP penetration would be count up 4 rows

2 cm = -
2.5 cm = -
3 cm = -
3.5 cm = -
4 cm = -
4.5 cm = -
5 cm = 1
5.5 cm = 3
6 cm = 6
6.5 cm = 9
7 cm = 12

 
The requirement a TL 7 Hyper Velocity gun's HEAP penetration would be count down 3 rows
 
2 cm = -
2.5 cm = -
TL 7 & 8 count down 3: 3 cm HEAP = -
TL 9 & 10 count down 5: 3 cm HEAP = 3
TL 11 & 12 count down 6: 3 cm HEAP = 6
TL 13 count down 7: 3 cm HEAP = 9

Can anyone verify that I'm remotely in the ball park?
