Default Re: Armor Penetration Model?

Also forgot - when the penetration value is exactly equal to the armour value, WH size determines the amount of shots that will actually penetrate. (Not part of the original SSI code which penetrated 100% if the AP value >=the armour value, we added the check for Pen==Armour).

So a WH of 1 or 2 say (e.g autocannon, ATR) whose Pen is exactly equal to the defending armour, will have a moderate chance of being stopped, whereas a tank gun of say WH 7 is rather more likely to manage to push through the defending plate in the equal armour situation.

Cheers
