What is Recoil Recovery Acceleration?

Thanks for the reply. What about the heavy assault’s heavy weapon, like TR’s mini chaingun? It’s a different category than lmgs.

Infantry has no resistances by default. Pretty much all infantry weapons share the same Damage Resist Type. LMGs are not considered more powerful than ARs and carbines. They are actually pretty bad weapons by comparison, and their only advantage is larger magazines.

I can’t seem to find any where a list of *infantry* resistances. I have often wondered why hmgs were considered more powerful than carbines and assault rifles, and I realized it’s probably because lmgs have their own resistance categories. If that’s true, I would like to know what those infantry resistances are.

Good catches, fixed now, thanks!

You’ve got some errors writing out the calculations, though the results are accurate.

For example one, you forget to multiply the lock-on rocket percentage damage by 100, leaving it in decimal. The actual percentage is 8.4%.

For example two, the flak armor 5 damage should be written as 975 * 0.8 + 350 * 0.5 = 955, since 20% damage resistance means they’re taking 80% damage, which is 0.8.

It might be a bit pedantic, but the typos definitely threw me off a bit at first.
