question about guns

Hello guys !

I saw a "option" (if i can say that) in silent 3ditor (s3d) on .zon file of a gun, on gun_radar.zon file in the library folder (shipparts) I can see a node "SH3ZONES" I think and I have armor level=-1 and in other gun, sometimes there are armor level=-1 or 30 or 10 or 40..... anyway

So I need to know what armor level=-1 or 40..... mean. What is the difference between them ?
In the damages of the ship ?

thank you for your answer

The armor level in the *.zon files is the armor equivalent of the unit, or the "hardness" of the target. This has no relation to the weapon's performance of the shells. A value of -1 indicates it has the armor level of the parent zone.

Maybe someone else can provide a more detailed answer.

TBH, I'm not sure if the armor level is in mm of armor, or cm. When I peeked into the files, the numbers seemed to be all over the place.

Bonjour Benji,

I think this is true for boats must also be good for the radar guns.
