Rifle amo HE and AP Penetration

[Mobhack]

The weak spot code is disallowed for HE type ammo.

Size 1 HE ammo with HE pen 0 will only penetrate class 0 armour or soft vehicle targets. Additional pen is based on Warhead size-1, after all!. There may well be a one in a million case of enough factors in the rest of the spaghetti that it does get through class 1, but I have never seen it in 10+ years of play. You may have hit that one in a million though - I am not going to categorically deny it cannot happen.

It may well have sometimes happened in the old SSI code - but ours requires HE ammo to have an over-penetration to be as effective as an equivalent AP round. (i.e. HE pen is less effective especially for smaller WH sizes).

Therefore, I am rather doubtful of your claim. Perhaps the target vehicle had a class 0 armour aspect (e.g. turret rear).

There is also the special case of fortifications (bunkers, forts, but not an ammo bunker - it is a vehicle class). Those are permeable to HE ammo. (Crew casualties through the firing ports etc). Were you shooting at a fort?.

What fort ? I never speak about that. And never speak about having a penetration of Size 1 HE ammo with HE pen 0, only asking for weak spot/extrapenetration in that PARTICULAR situation. Because other HE>0 have that, I can't imagine why this can't, especially when size 1 AP ammo with AP pen 0 do !!!. Off course having a lot lot less chance, but it's in the same principle. So, I never can't believe why a full squad aimed rifle fire from point blank range (or more sugestive sniper fire )don't have the chance of ''weak spots''
