Firing at Top Armor / Weapon Depression

Galfridus · 01-11-2020, 07:54 PM

So today I learned that the Truck Stop rule for targeting the tops of cars is gone (http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=146895). Instead there is rather vague text about shooting things from above, where the 45-degree rule seems to apply (you need a 45 degree angle to target top armor).

1) What is the vertical range of non-turret weapons?

2) What is the lowest depression possible for a turreted weapon (45 as the upper limit is specified)?

Apart from oversized vehicles, multi-level arenas and jumps (not to mention jump jets) all create situations where targeting top armor is potentially relevant.
