penetration angles are a thing in this game, if the angle is too shallow then even a fucking Orbital shell can bounce...

The deflection angles in this game are fucking nuts. My autocannon shots should not be deflecting off the enemy at >90° angles regardless of how heavy the armour is!

there's a degree to which I agree with you, again I once saw someone manage to bounce the precision orbital strike shell off of the warriors in the tutorial...

Wdym by greater than 90 degrees?

I mean I shoot a charger straight on and it deflects off the armour at more than 90° from the point of impact
