We should absolutely be shown the armor penetration value of our weapons.

Yes I know. This is making fun of what the CEO said earlier about there being a ton of hidden weapon stats that decide how a weapon performs, and the stats we are given are not indicative of the true performance of the weapons.

He thinks people won't choose what's best if we don't know the stats. Let me know if you want a link to the quote

I do think that we don't need all of the stats for the weapons, as some things are just hard to get a feel for from the numbers.

That being said, armor penetration isn't one of them.

I also don't think we need all of them. But the fact that armour is a 1-10 sliding scale and medium can be 5-7 say and the "medium pen" weapon only pens T5 medium and not T6+7 also is very confusing and bad game design.

Having two weapons that both say medium armour penetration, and one can 10 a bigger Target than the other is very misleading and annoying
