Have you tried modding the Ripple rocket damage (can be seen in-game) to make sure that your changes are actually applied?

i sure my changes aplied
see movie how ripples rockets strike with flight speed = 50
close distance = flight speed is very slow
any other distance = flight speed is very fast

Interesting and thank you very much. To me it looks like flight speed is set to some constant for indirect shots while for direct shots the specified value is used.

When there is no possible balistic angle for the shot because of the distance, the angle turn at 30 degree and the speed is adjusted instead. I dont see any quick solution to that except maybe tweaking the gravity instead ? Assuming that if the rocket is slower then possible for a mortar, it's because it have some way to flight and cancel some gravity ?

This one goes all the way back to original retail: For indirect-fire weapons, a slow flight speed only shows its effect at short range, long range ballistic trajectories use a fixed speed.

It is safe to assume that rockets can have a slower ballistic flight speed because they are self-propelled projectiles (where mortar shells are not). But in the name of tweakability perhaps the weapon's specified flight speed should always be obeyed, even if it means the trajectory has to be calculated using a reduced gravity.
