Body hitbox penetration rework
- Changed the mechanics of body hitbox penetration. Now the body hitbox is always penetrated if the round’s penetration power stat is higher than the hitbox penetration threshold;
- Head, Forearm, Shoulder, Calf and Thigh hitboxes now have a threshold value of 20;
- The damage and penetration power of the bullet degrades when it penetrates the body hitbox, meaning that the next body hitbox will receive reduced damage:
- The extent of damage reduction depends primarily on the round’s penetration power stat;
- Secondly, it depends on the caliber of the round and the body part’s hitbox penetration threshold;
- The greater the penetration power stat and caliber of the round, the smaller the damage reduction.
- Reduced the armpit hitbox size.
Armor penetration rework
- If the round’s penetration power stat is 15 more than the armor’s effective durability, this will result in a guaranteed penetration. The following must be taken into account:
- Effective durability for intact armor is approximately equal to its armor class multiplied by 10;
- Effective durability for damaged armor decreases with the loss of its durability points;
- Many cartridges have a small starting variation in armor penetration;
- Ammo penetration degrades with loss of bullet velocity;
- Ammo penetration may degrade after colliding with armor, body hitboxes, or obstacles.
