HMG penetration
I'm happy to hear about the buffs applied to HMG penetration figures within 300m; that said, the numbers don't appear to be reflected in MBT_APCalc, which still thinks the HE penetration is a constant 1, and I've not had a chance to field-test them yet. I'd like to know; how exactly are the buffs applied, mechanically? Is there simply a class of weapons that's been given the buff?
My main issue comes with the "enhanced" armor-piercing ammunition, particularly the .50cal SLAP (USA OBAT 12 Weapon 23). Official figures give it 19mm at 1500m, which testing with MBT_APCalc achieve with an AP figure of 6. That makes it very deadly for an HMG, which is only appropriate. The question is how it might stack up with the new v7.0 change to HMG weapons.
