Topic: Falloff calculation

Gun tested : Nuimtec-ROWO light EM-gun
Base falloff is 50m

Bonus from Robot (Yagel) : 25% ( 5% per Basic Robot extension level)

50*1.25=62.5

Bonus from extension (Improved Falloff) : 12% ( 3% per level )

62.5*1.12=70m

Yet it shows 69m on my gun info.

It doesn't really matter much to me, but since i'm writing a fitting tool, i'd like to know if it's a rounding problem or a bug ? I can understand when decimals get truncated but there is no decimal here.

Re: Falloff calculation

Trying another formula like

50*(1+(5*0.05+4*0.03))= 68.5

Is it the correct formula, rounded up ?

edit : fixed formula

Re: Falloff calculation

50+(50*0,05)*5+(50*0,03)*4 = rnd(68,5) = 69

your second formula sounds right as the bonus % are allways applied to BASE falloff and bonis are used additive.

Re: Falloff calculation

Back to the formula, is it only rounded for display or game is using rounded value too ?

Re: Falloff calculation

We may assume its founded for display only, since you have i.e. robot speed (displayed in equip window) 76,53 kph but it shows you only 76 while deployed.
