The effectiveness of the skirts has been drastically reduced. The .5 damage modifier is now .75, with .75 penetration. Not as good.
No the damage modifiers are now 1.5-1.6 without skirts and 1.2 with skirts. They effectively do twice the damage to Panther and p4s.
Dam modifier is however only 1.0 without skirts and 0.75 on STuG/H with skirts.
1.6 without skirts is 1.2 with skirts with a 25% reduction in damage.
and a penetration of something like .113 for some tank with and without skirts which is now .08475
previously it would have been 1.6 without skirts and .8 with ... of course you constantly ignore the penetration bonus.
so no the bazooka's do NOT do twice the damage to teh tanks, they do half extra damage to tanks with skirts WHEN they penetrate.
No Salan you are wrong. Previously damage modifiers on the P4 were 1.6 without and 0.5 with skirts. Chance of frontal penetration was 44,9%.
http://wiki.coh-stats.com/index.php?title=PIAThttp://wiki.coh-stats.com/index.php?title=BazookaNow the damage modifier is 1.6x0.75=1.2 and penetration = 33,7%. In other words they now do 240% damage but penetrates 20% less. That equals about twice the average damage.
