Shifty 101 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I did a quick search and didn't come up with a definitive answer so here goes. What is a "weak point penetration" exactly in CMBB? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a "weak point penetration" exactly in CMBB? Thanks in advance.The theory is the armour is not the same thickness all over. In the game there is about a %1 to %2 chance of the round striking the vision slot or the weakened area around the bow MG port and penetrating an otherwise impenetrable armoured surface. Ok? -tom w [ December 16, 2002, 11:04 PM: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 The manual says that MG mounts, hatches, vision blocks, or poorly manufacture armor plate, etc. can be weak spots. IIRC there is always a 1% chance of weak spot penetration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Crossposted from the CMBO forum: "Weak point penetration" happens with a probablity of 1% and reduces the armor by 30-50%. If the vehicle has a shot trap then the probablity is higher. Steve once said it is 10%, my own tests imply more like 3-5%. The difference may be that it is 10% of all turret hits which would translate to about 3-4% of all front hits. Armor quality has nothing to do with it, it only reduces the thickness of the plate.
