HE penetration now uses the following appoximation
1.33*C*(2.75E-20*warhead*(velocity)^5.6+0.16*warhead)
This nominal value can vary form .66 to 1.33 based on a three "die" roll.
Where C is a constant depending on metric or english units. (if english use 25.4)
TO convert from range and angle to 0 degrees slope and 0
For range: pen at range/(((maxrange/4)-(range/50))/(maxrange/4))
this is the standard linear decay SP has always used
For penetration:
base armor*(SQRT(1/(COS(hor_angle*PI()/180)^2.8)+1/(COS(ver_angle*PI()/180)^2.8)-1))
The 2.8 is an "average" this value varies from 2 to a bit over 4 based on ammo type and T/D ratio. We also use a randon +/- 15 degrees in horizontal and -6 to +3 in vertical (to account for bumps in the ground that constantly change tilt of the vehicle) ITs skewed - becasue most shells arrive at a slight downward angle)
