Update XBOX - 1.3.2.23

New damage model and various improvements

The game now has a new damage model, it is more intuitive and easier to use.

Previously damage in Cuisine Royale was calculated from both weapon damage and additional accumulated damage from the stopping power of projectiles, resistance to which regenerated separately from health and was unclear for fighters.

Now the stopping power is completely removed and damage in game depends only on projectile damage mitigated by armor and distance traveled.

Armor will be divided into three levels, each featuring a fixed amount of damage mitigation:

• Level 1 (T1) - 10% damage reduction
  • Head armor
  • Body armor
  • Buttocks protection (T1)
• Level 2 (T2) - 20% damage reduction
  • Brodie helmet
  • Stahlhelm
  • Imperial German M17
  • SWAT helmet
  • US tactical vest
  • Eagle low-vis
  • Nivel
  • Second chance SPA2 
  • Buttocks protection (T2)
• Level 3 (T3) - 30% damage reduction
  • Viking Helm
  • 6B47 helmet
  • Assault vest 6B43
  • Buttocks protection (T3)

Some ammunition may have exceptions from the above. Bolt rifles for example, now come with armour piercing ammo, allowing better countering of protected targets. Versus these:

• Level 1 armour will have 5% damage reduction
• Level 2 armour will have 10% damage reduction
• Level 3 armour will have 15% damage reduction

Pellets from shotguns have become more realistic and now has a lower effect against armoured targets:

• Level 1 armour will have 20% damage reduction
• Level 2 armour will have 30% damage reduction
• Level 3 armour will have 60% damage reduction

Overall we have tried to simplify damage formulas, retaining more or less the same survivability of combatants.

Final damage is still dependent on distance to the target, initial bullet speed and mass.
