The volume of twenty (20) rockets is 0.1 m3.

The volume of one (1) insignia is 0.1 m3.

Are the rockets the size of an ant or something?

Also, rockets are two (2) meters long.

1) rockets do not weigh less (from that info) they take up less space.

2) dogtags are rather large methinks.

So... 100 rockets can fit in the same space as 5 dog tags...

Spaceships!

And a single implant is way bigger than the human head.

Obviously rockets have been engineered to such a level that they are tiny now (like iron mans shoulder rocket things)... duh.

Cubic metres are a measurement of volume, not weight.

Yep, OP has a density issue.

If you read the comparison in my OP you would see that I was really talking about size/volume. Rockets would have to be the size of an ant for a dog tag to take up more space.

Semantics, bros. I may have said "weigh" but by reading into the context of my post you would have found the true meaning of what I was talking about.

Dang nitpickers...

Edited my OP anyways to prevent future nitpickers who do not know semantics.

You think this game has inaccuracies? 310,000 men of mine just retreated from 10,000 German militia in Hearts of Iron 3...

Mayhaps what we see in the inventory also includes a massive implantation apparatus?

It's the beercraze. 10,000 men can fight like 100x that number when it's upon them.

Rockets are two meters long. Just search one and click the portrait and it'll show you a 3D interactive representation of the rocket while also telling you it's two meters long.

I always thought implants and dog tags and such other item's volume are mostly taken up by the packaging .. the bubble wrap if you will, that protects them in a hostile environment.
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

The insignias I have are faction navy insignias. Are you saying the faction navies carry some bling of their own?

[lore]Launchers contain nanoassemblers and build them on the fly when they 'reload', so what you actually have there is the goo that the nanomachines use to make said 2m long objects.[/lore]
