Naming/stat/performance discrepancies with HESH rockets on Stryker ADATS

[Haswell 294]

OS: Windows 10 Home, build 10240 (yes)

Game Version: 0.32.7221

Brief Description: 73mm RA-79 rockets on the ADATS are incorrectly named as HESH, despite the SAPHEI label and SAPHEI-like characteristics in performance. Penetration and spall threshold values in battle and in garage do not match.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Be ADATS
2. Equip RA-79 rockets
3. Examine ammo tool tip in garage, note the listed penetration (130mm) and spall threshold (5mm). Also note "green" classification of ammo type.
4. Go into battle
5. Example ammo tool tip in battle, note the listed penetration (5mm) and spall threshold (130mm).
6. Fire rockets at armor less than 130mm thick (ie. rear of vehicles), note lack of penetration despite penetration indicator being green.
7. Fire rockets at relatively thin armor but still thick enough for the penetration indicator to turn red (ie. Bradley lower plate), note damage dealt even with no penetration.

Result: RA-79 rockets exhibit SAPHEI-like performance characteristics instead of HESH; penetration and spall threshold values are mismatched in garage and in battle.

Expected Behavior:

• Name of RA-79 rocket should not include HESH, perhaps replace with SAPHEI
• Penetration and spall threshold values of garage tool tip should match in-battle tool tip
• Ammo type classification should be orange, to differentiate SAPHEI from HESH
• Penetration indicator color should properly reflect probability of penetration

Fixes/Workarounds: None.

Other Notes:

 

[Haswell 294]

Issue partially resolved in 0.33: name got changed.

Spall threshold stat in garage and in battle still don't match up. Garage stat is now missing penetration.

 

[Haswell 294]

Issue still not resolved as of 0.33.7341. Spall threshold and penetration stats continue to be mismatched in garage and in battle.

 

Target testing reaffirms this discrepancy. If the penetration is indeed 130mm then the rocket should be dealing full damage (at least 300+ even with the worst RNG) and not partial damage.
