Hey Guys!
Wondering if anyone figured this out yet. I feel like it is probably doing something wrong, but per long description below I tried many different things and can't get it to work.
Problem: Armor piercing not working.
Short Description: If I roll from damage from the ammo itself it does not apply damage to the enemy. If I roll damage from the weapon, it is not armor piercing.
Long Description:
1. I clicked and dragged armor piercing ammo (from updated 2023 Central supply catalogue) to an automatic rifle (also from 2023 central supply).
a. I heard different sources could be the problem so I made sure both the ammo and the weapon came from the same book.
2. Armor piercing ammo appears below the weapon as I understand it should.
a. I get the button that allows for collapsing the ammo options, so it is confirmed they are linked.
3. Damage is 0 for the ammo.
a. I change to 3D6 as appropriate for the weapon.
4. Enemy is targeted in combat tracker.
a. Enemy has armor of 5
5. A hit is made
a. Combat log shows that the enemy was hit (calls them out specifically, i.e. Mercenary 1)
6. I roll for damage on the ammo, and it does not apply the damage to the enemy. No damage whatsoever.
a. I do not get a message saying it is blocked by armor or anything. Log records damage but not to whom.
1) I find this odd because the hit is recorded against the enemy in the combat log but not the damage which is assigned to what appears to be no one.
7. I test just rolling for damage as the assault rifle instead of the ammo.
a. Damage is recorded. Damage has 5 subtracted from it (from enemy armor).
