In-depth explanation of clipping.

When a weapon fires, it can do two things :
1) Roll a hit - and then the projectile will follow the target to the edges of the world. It'll bend over corners, it'll do 180 degree turns, it'll fly through hedges, tanks and buildings - but it WILL reach the target.

2) Roll a miss - then the projectile just flies in the trajectory the engine decided to give it until it hits something that it can clip with. Basically, being able to clip a target means being able to hit a target despite originally rolling a miss against it. If a target is set not to clip with a projectile (for instance - RRs vs Puma) - then you notice the effect of "phase armour" - where the projectile flies happily through, like it were just some thin air. If it clips (57mm vs Panzer IV) - then the projectile hits and damages the target like it would have normally, had it rolled a hit from the get go.

then this seems like a very very good change for RRs vs. MGs and mortars.

alright, haha fine by me. Sounds like a great fix. Wonder if we can get a dev in here to comment?

I can change it.
Except I'm not going do it unless Bob, EIRRMod  or someone high up give the okay. (I can change a lot of stuff, but I'm not going to do it unless someone high up give the go ahead)

2 pumas with doctrinal upgrades, or 3 pumas will make AB cry.

lol 12-18 pop beats 6 pop... omgwtfAB=fail

[Mysthalin]

1 puma is quite enough to beat 1 squad of Airborne, thank you Vertiggo.

1 3 popcap MG scout car is also quite sufficient at this job.

[VERTIGGO]

True, but it's completely situational. In green cover, the AB very well could escape barely hurt.

[Mysthalin]

The exact reason why you would allow the airborne to get into heavy cover is beyond me.

and more importantly...Not move...
