Rounded to 11.811 inches of RHA
11.811 divided by 2.54 = 4.6500093
Rounded to 4.65 doublings from 2.54
AV 48 * (2.54^4.65) = 3661.997299
Rounded to 3662
Efactor for HEAT-FS is 3662.
Nope. Can't be right. I am screwing up the math in figuring how many times a penentration has doubled from the original 2.54 cm.

2.54cm = 25.4mm
Penetration for 85mm HEAT-FS is 300mm.
300 divided by 10 = 30 centimeters (not inches!)
30 cm divided by 2.54= 11.811023622047244 inches. (Almost a foot!)
Now where I run into a problem. What was doubled and doubled again to reach 11.811023622047244?
Time to stop.
