kind of confused over this new feature. It pops up at least several times with each scenerio i play, yet i've never seen it actually "do" anything. Could someone clarify for me?

When it pops up it means that the armor base value is halved before applying slope effects - you hit a hatch or vision slit or flaw in the armor, etc. Its not filtered by weapon type so you can see it with rifle fire sometimes - MGs can sometimes kill light armor when it happens.

Vulnerable location hits reduce armour by 50%. Saludos a Todos, Cona.

ah! thanks for the clarification. what was confusing me too, was that the sound effect tied to it is the same that registers a "penetration" so i figured something had happened when it did'nt Guess i've been lucky to have all my experiences be against rifle fire! :D
