Infantry armour takes 100% damage from everything, except less from anti-vehicle and "barrage" whatever the fuck that is.

Heavy Infantry takes less damage from the two most common damage types (shootin' and stabbin'), but 125-150% damage from heavy weapons and anti-vehicle shit and pretty much everything else.


This is intended and how the database works. Good job relic making heavy infantry mean you take more damage in general.

Sluggas are brokenly powerful and Stormboyz can be built and you won't be laughed at.


All the damage/hp/armor mechanics were hidden and you had very little feedback of what worked best beyond "use rockets on vehicles". When was it best to use a flamer vs heavy bolter vs plasma gun? Who has power weapons vs normal weapons and who do they work best against? It was especially bad with the first DoW since the damage numbers were nowhere near accurate, and some units wouldn't even give you an amount of hitpoints. Couple that with a damage lag that kept you wondering what was doing all the damage in addition to half the attacks/armor not working as they should at any given patch.
