Default Re: Armor Penetration Model?

How to get Penetration in the game:

1. Go into MOBHACK and create some experimental units:

A.) Target Unit; no guns or anything no move; size of like 100~ or something like that and armor of 255 on all aspects.

B.) Firing Stand; Give it Incredibly high vision ratings and fire control stabilization, plus a large amount of ammunition for the gun you're testing.

C.) The Weapon: There are two values which mainly affect penetration I've found; AP Penetration and Weapon Range; changing the Weapon Range allows you to adjust the weapon's ballistics up and down some.

Do several test firings against target units with your weapon at the range specified by your data; keep adjusting AP Pen and Weapon Range until you can consistently score penetration around your data figures.
