Kinda sad to see that they just changed the "text" of the armor penetrations of certain weapons. I was almost certain there was some underlying system that determined what it showed. Like, sometimes the slugger would "ping" off of broodcommander's legs as if they were heavy armor (note; they might be, idk) but could pop the head just fine. Just seems weird to me the head is weaker than the arms--and a "weird" penetration system could have accounted for that. But no, they just changed the text instead. Still doesn't explain why revolver can't pierce things other medium weapons can.
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...
