Default Re: Arty too effective against hard targets

with what ammo type?

HE will not necessarily penetrate if pen > armour (overpen) is less than IIRC 6. From overpen equal to 5cm over, there is now a %age chance that increases with the overpenetration, that the round does no damage. So oberpen of 0, little chance and overpen of 5, bigger chance.

AP overpen only aplies with small warheads, and overpen<=1 IIRC, and is ignored at under 100 yds range.

ATR (warhead 2 or less, AP shot, weapon class 2) - does less damage once pentration has ocurred in the patch just released. It has less chance of a total vehicle kill, and also less chance if not a total kill, of causing crew or weapon kills ("*" results).

The original SSI code went through for pen >= armour in all cases, apart from ricochets.

Cheers
Andy
