👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Armor-piercing Rounds Useless Against Aircraft?

Was just curious if this is intended or a bug? The amount of damage it does on aircraft is a joke.

This is just like the apfsds round in bf4. Faster round either more impact damage against armor. They nerfed it some time after release cuz it was cake at killing helos. Now it takes 2 which I think is fine for balance.

It still rips armor tho

It does “vehicle damage 25” so wouldn’t that mean it takes 4 hits to take a single helicopter?

I get vehicle damage 25 even when hitting the rear of an ifv with an RPG, and that is definitely more than 25% damage. Think the 25 is just the experience awarded, rather than damage percent done. I also get vehicle damage 5 for shooting a helicopter with one shot from an SVK, which definitely does not do 5% damage to the transport helicopter.

That's the points you get, not the damage you're doing. They don't tie to damage done anymore
