[WGP2W] LemonadeWarriorITA [WGP2W] Beta Tester 1,669 posts 8,186 battles Report post #1 Posted January 19, 2019 On my endeavour of understanding this game better I ended up testing out the saturation mechanic. My findings when an area is saturated: AP Penetrations deal no damage. HE Penetrations deal no damage. AP Over penetrations keep dealing damage. So the first two make sense and were as expected, but the third one didn't. Over penetrations keep doing damage on a saturated area, which is a bit weird in my eyes, because penetrations, whether it is HE or AP, stop doing damage at that point. So is this working as intended? The video (damage saturation of the superstructure starts at 40 seconds): Thanks for the help. Greetings Lemon EDIT: Another example of AP penetration and over penetration difference: Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically it's "normal dmg" vs "light dmg" Pens = normal dmg. It's applied to the compartment hit (like bow + "hull"), and when those modules run out of HP - you can't do damage to them this way anymore Meanwhile light damage - fires, flooding, overpens (I think ramming aswell) - is applied directly to your HP pool, and that runs out only when your ship sinks Also this: Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
