Default Penetration Bug?

Is this a bug, i consistantly get a msg saying "You have hit a weak spot and increased penetration of **" Or something like that, but then afterwards it says that it was a non-penetrating hit, and therefore does nothing. This happens alot with HEAT and HE type weapons. Even tho the weaken penetration figure is already enough to penetrate the so called target. This also seems to happens mostly against Wheel/Tracked APCs, and MBTs. Whats with that?

Default Re: Penetration Bug?

It is not a bug.

Penetration (including any special hits) is determined first.

Then any bounces are diced for. So it can still ping off.

Then defending armour is determined including defending armour increases due to horizontal angle off, area of hit etc, track hits, HEAT fuse failures and so on.

Then overpenteration is determined (HE will need signifigant overpen to have an effect on armour).

There is rather a lot more than simply pen >= armour.

Cheers
Andy
