mathemagically speaking, 2k damage through hardeners is pretty unlikely.
proto swarm deals 300*6=1,800 damage, base. i'm gonna call them explosive damage. last i checked mass drivers dealt 65% damage to shields, and since we cannot shoulder and aim a swarm launcher to get a damage profile out of it, that 65% factor is the best guess we have.
that puts us at 1,170. now granted this is disregarding any damage mods the swarm guy might be using, and his proficiency skill, but it is also disregarding your shield resistance skill, and your shield hardener.
lets take a less extreme guess, since i cannot confirm swarms damage profile since we can't aim them. stay with me here because it gets theory crafty:
lasers deal 120% damage to shields and 80% to armor. lasers are supposed to be the most extreme opposite to swarms and other explosive weapons. so lets invert the laser damage profile and use that, 80% damage to shields.
this still puts us at just 1,440. again, before other mods.
now from here we MIGHT be able to get close to 2,000 damage, lets try? capped proficiency skill is 15% damage. prototype mods are 10%. how many do we think is reasonable with stacking penalties? maybe we do 5 damage mods for the sake of argument?
according to this 5 modules at 10% apiece will give a 31.3% damage increase.
so, lets do all o that fun ****. (((300*6)*1.15)*1.31) = 2,711 HEY HEY! there we go. it's over 2k! for now.
but lets apply even the MINIMAL shield resistance. 2,711*.8=2168.
now lets try it with my original guess at the damage profile: 2,711*.65=1762.
so there you go, if the guy shooting at you is laughably perfect, and the shields basic defenses are the lesser of our 2 theories, and you have literally no passive resistance bonus, and your hardener was actually OFF at the time, it might have done 2k.
so do you think all that happened? or do you think you may have just been hit with something else you were not aware of?
and if you do think all that happened, oh well? we're talking about the BEST possible swarm launcher setup against the WORST possible tank. stop driving the literally worst possible tank? and how often are you going to come up against the BEST possible swarm? |
