I wonder how you would model this in T2k V1.

The Russians love their Thermobaric devices. Russia made more Thermobaric warheads for the RPG than they did FRAG warheads. Thermobarics have a strange burst pattern. They act like mini nukes in that they consume all of the oxygen in the primary burst radius. This effect means that the Thermobaric warhead HAS NO SECONDARY BLAST RADIUS. The primary blast is "checked" by the vacuum before it can expand further. This is also what extends the incendiary blast into tenths of a second in length. It needs both a Conventional Blast and an Incendiary Blast too. The RPG-7 Thermobaric has a burst radius of 8 meters in real life. The Conventional Blast is so powerful that it would be at least twice the power of a normal explosive.
Youtube "Alex Cross Death Scene" by Tim Richardson to see the Thermobaric warhead in action. The RPG is an American made Airtronic MK777 (the US take on the RPG-7).
