In FB2, PBLs have a stated burst radius of 6". Later in the PBL column,
it
is strongly suggested that in vector the radius be cut to 4" or even 3".
We use the 3" radius with vector.

I maneuvered my squadron to be right behind my own PBL bursts - if
they'd
been the 3" vector bursts I'm used to... I got caught by the 6"
cinematic
bursts in use.
