Profile of Darkbladecr

One question:
I always had the assumption that side armor was lower than front armor for most of the tanks. Of course not as weak as rear armor. I even think that there was some official statement where that was mentioned although I could be wrong.
The data mentions only Main Armor and Rear Armor now.

Does this mean:
A) There is no difference between a shot to the front and a shot to the side?
B) Armor is the same but there are some other differences?
Example would be lower profile from front, meaning better chance to hit from the side?
C) There is a difference but it is not in game data.

If the system is the same as with CoH1, which I believe it is, then there are only two armor values. Front and Rear armor. The cut of point is usally designated at around half the unit, so shooting from the side can sometimes score a 'rear armor hit'. Which is obviously beneficial.

In CoH1 there used to be Penetration depending on the range of the target, but in CoH2 this has been taken away. So no matter how close or how far your unit is it will always deal the same penetration (do keep in mind that accuracy suffers though).

As according do your statement in B). The Essence Engine calculates the hit box literally as a Box. So it doesn't matter what the tank actually looks like. The projectile will always hit a box proxy.

Yes I know, will be updating the server files today

Great Stuff TFN! Look forward to seeing even more goodness!

Hope you guys haven't missed me!

I have just finished my first version of CoH2 Stats. You can view it here:

http://coh-moderncombat.com/CoH2Stats/

Here you will find most of the stats about CoH2 you will ever need. I am working on this in the great effort of Tony and Frode that created and maintained the first CoH-Stats.net. I will try to keep many things in the same style for easy comparisons between the two games and also just for easy comparison's between the units in CoH2.

Notice it is a massive effort to create a site that will load all the data from the CoH2 files dynamically so that each new version/patch can easily be applied to the site and update all the stats, so you will have to bear with me as I work though this. You will notice that the bare essentials are displayed thus far.

Completed:
- Unit ebps/sbps details (unit icons are not loading because of current NDA)
- Unit weapons
- Unit abilities
- Unit upgrades
- Weapon details + cover tables

WIP:
- Unit Veternancy
- Ability details
- Upgrade details
- Massive table lists with info on specific unit types all at once

I will start work on a Game Basics page as well once the official release, as I am sure some game mechanics will change before the end of the beta.

If there is something specific you would like to see let me known. Also if there is anything wrong with the site, either a bug, or a mistake on an entry please let me know.

lol this has gotta be interesting
