A question to the devs

[Ook Oook]

As a huge enjoyer of the game and a stats nerd I like to look at the xml's behind the scene and figure out the intricacies of whats best. I like how nearly everything is based off of real vehicles and protection levels.

But one thing confuses me, how do these damage values work? I see the different types and how each ammo has different damage values, but how is that actually calculated? Like its obvious AP is kinetic, therm is thermal, HE is high explosive, CM is cumulative effect, but what is FR and FL? Fragment and flesh damage?

Is it possible we could get the damage calculation formula because its really hard to figure out exactly what 500 CM does to the front of a caged dozer lol.




P.S. how much armor do the rev6's have? I cant find that anywhere

This is probably something to ask in the Official Terminator Dark Fate Defiance Discord channel where this kind of information is being discussed. https://discord.gg/4bvjq4fD6t

A pity those informations are hidden behind a discord login

Same - it's mandatory to have a discord login in order to access the informations shared there. It's part of the discord business model. After picking a username it redirects to a login form where you have to register or login.

Thanks for trying anyway =)

You want us to use a ♥♥♥♥ app instead of using the forums where you sell the game? You're already here. Just ask whoever and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ copy paste their answer.

It's Saturday night at 22:28 here in the UK. I'm about to crash out to bed. It's not like I have the development team on speed dial at this time of night. I was trying to give a way of getting information when asked. Apologies.... :)

Calm down Karen. The dev was trying to help on a day off.

Another example of someone making words meaningless.

Sending players off to another app to offload work onto other devs isn't helpful especially when we can see there are multiple devs in these forums already. This is the main forum people are going to use. It makes no sense for them to be unable to answer these questions here.

Who doesn't have a discord ? It's a much better platform for engaging with people, create an account that way you can complain in there too 🤙

This might come as a surprise to you but not everyone has the same likes and dislikes as you.

Discord is bad - in a nutshell: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/rsxeee/you_should_never_use_discord_and_heres_why/

Still vaild. My main beef with this: modding grew with an (open) internet. Now people volunteerely flock into a non-open environment and hide knowledge in a single companies data storage. If that company dies / people habbits change again, then all knowledge in there is lost.

edit So the "good" thing to do here would be - use whatever communication tool you want, but never use said tool as "storage" - always move that to an open place. Especially in the context where everybody has to learn from each other (covers pretty much all the open source software and modding).
