Name: "Rally Defenses"
Duration: 30 Seconds
Cost: Free
Range of aura: 30

On infantry + MG - +25% armor; +50% accuracy.
On other support weapons - +25% accuracy.

+25% armor... +25% of zero is zero so... is this literally only to buff Shock troops or is this a holdover from old CoH2 balance ideology?

Also, the ability guide seems to say that the B-4 and ML-20 benefit from the buff. I'll have to test that. Seems pretty useful if true.

EDIT: Imagine if you could stack "Rally Defenses" and "For Mother Russia". That would be pretty badass....

If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Every infantry model has 1 armor, shocks have 1.5.

This basically acts as a 20% RA reduction with minor alterations against MGs and weapons that have higher penetration than 1.

Huh. You learn something new every day. That's actually pretty useful.

-> Shocks have 1.5
-> 1.5 x 1.25 = 1.875
-> Kar98k has 1 penetration
-> 1 / 1.875 = 0.53
-> LMG42 has 1.1 penetration at 28 range
-> 1.1 / 1.875 = 0.58

So basically Rally Defenses turns shock troops into gods walking among men? I never knew it was this good.

Basically yes. But relatively speaking, you'll get more out of it if you use it on Conscripts or Guards.
