Default Re: Detailed examples of Pen/Arm combat calculations

The Calculator chart has a category called "best HE" next to the "HE" column. Can you tell us about that?

I know from some text docs in the game that a shot will Penetrate the Armor if the shot's value is equal or more than the Armor value. So, that tidbit is provided to us already. Anything you can add to this would be valuable.

I note on the screen during Pen/Arm calculations that the phrase "weak point" appears occasionally. I presume that this is some kind of random event that indicates a Critical Hit and the Pen value gets a + 3 or so. Anything you can add to this would be valuable.

Are there any other kinds of random events that cause enhanced or degraded Pen values that you could tell us about? Thanks.

Finally, I have Webroot AV and every time I navigate over to the Shrapnel forums page, I get a big red warning that this website address has malware. I don't know why this happens. I haven't noticed anything unusual about this website, other than the fact that it's unusually good.
