Situational experiments

TheDarkWraith a écrit:Instead of the currently four values governing damages (AmmoDamageInfo – Hitpoints, ArmorLevel, MinRadius, MaxRadius) we need a little more
AP – Armor Penetration
MinEF – Explosive Damage Factor – the HitPoints of old
MaxEF -
MinRange – as before, for calculating the damage done through explosion
MaxRange – as before, for calculating the damage done through explosion
In the calculus below, we may also use the value “A”, being the armor value of the considered object.

A projectile will deal damage:
Explosive damage (ED) – damage done by the explosion

ED = random (MinEF, MaxEF); will be modified for range as before.

Steps to check damage dealt by a projectile
projectile hits object O in part P
Penetration check
Penetration roll:
k = 0.2 – subject to change
x = random (-k;+k)
Pen = AP * [1 + x]
Pen > = A results in penetration
If Penetration is successful: (else skip to 5)
4. Apply ED at point of impact, and skip to end; armor is ignored for penetrated object and all compartments inside it.
5. penetration was not successful:
6. apply explosion blast damage in impact point. Armor is considered as follows – for all objects in MaxRange, ED (corrected for range) is compared to 4 * A. If ED is greater, it is applied, to the object.

Observer a écrit:The factors to be considered for SH4 armor penetration are:

PT = Penetration Threshold, as defined in the [Global Params] section of zones.cfg
ALF = Armor Leveling Factor, as defined in the [Global Params] section of zones.cfg
AP = Armor Penetration factor, as defines in the AmmoDamageInfo controller of any given shell's .ZON file
HP = Hit Points factor, a random number between MinEF and MaxEF, as defines in the AmmoDamageInfo controller of any given shell's .ZON file

The actual armor penetration power is calculated according to this formula:
Armor Penetration [power] = (random number between 1-PT and 1+PT)*AP + HP/ALF

Subsequent formulas:
Max Armor Penetration [power]= (1+PT)*AP + MaxEF/ALF
Min Armor Penetration [power] = (1-PT)*AP + MinEF/ALF
