![]() When a shot has penetrated the armor the damage of the weapon is applied and HP is reduced on the target soldier. This means the 4% increased armor bulletin on an infantry squad means their armor goes either to 1.04(Standard) or 1.56(Shock Troops), which ultimately results in your infantry having a smaller chance of taking damage.ĮDIT: Also, armor has nothing to do with health. These units have a front armor value of 1.5 instead, which means penetration/armor = 1/1.5 = 66.66667% chance of the bullets penetrating and actually applying any damage. However, there are assault units such as Shock Troops with more front armor than your average soldier. Using the formula we know when a soldier is hit the damage of the rifle is always applied because penetration/armor = 1/1 = 100%. The standard penetration of a rifle is 1. The standard front armor value of soldiers are 1, and rear armor 0. Same as your infantry won't suddenly resist tank fire.Īrmor increases chance of taking no damage from shots.ĬoH2 uses the simple formula penetration/armor to calculate the chance wether a shot penetrates(=applies full damage) or not(=only a fraction or no damage dealt). So in a way, more effective health, yes, but repairing/healing doesn't take longer (vehicles with more health take longer to repair).Īlso, if you Tiger would get shot by a 400 penetration gun it doesn't matter if you have 300 armor with 4% more or less, it would always penetrate. If your infantry has 4% more armor however, the chance of penetration would be 100%/1.04 = 96.15%, so about 3.85% chance of taking no damage from a shot. Infantry usally has 1 armor and most small arms have 1 penetration, so 100% chance to penetrate. ![]() So more armor means lower chance for the armor to get penetrated. ![]() 4% more armour would mean 300*1.04 armor in this case or 40%/1.04 = 38.5% to penetrate. 120/300 = 0.4, that means a 40% chance to penetrate and a 60% chance to bounce off (and deal no damage). ![]() Two values are at play here: armor (of the unit which gets attacked) and penetration (of the weapon of the attacking unit).įor example, a Tiger tank has 300 front armor, a T34's 76mm gun has 120 penetration at short distance (at higher distances it gets lower). Ever seen a shot bounce of your or an enemies tank? That means it didn't penetrate. ![]() You have to understand the concept of penetrating armor. ![]()
