Change AP formula

[lapis galleon]

make it so the damage from an AP projectile gets reduced by armor %

-> APdamage=damage*((X-(1-armorValue))
X being an abitrary value between 0..5 and 1, ideally between 0.8 and 0.98

would make AP balancing less shit probably

@severe mauve dont have much time to code but i can suggest

@lapis galleon might like this one.
They love coding and have so much free time!

better idea

remove ap

problem solved

if theres no ap

So if the AP ammo is 100% effective the value would be 1 and if my armor was 50% effective damage would be damage * (1 - ( 1 - 0.5)) = damage * 0.5 so AP does nothing?
Or with AP of 0.5 it's damage (0.5(1-0.5) = 0.25 so now the AP ammo does half damage but is also blocked half again by the armor

I don't think AP is a good name for an ammo type that is strictly less effective than normal ammo while also being fully blocked by armor

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something tho
There's the armor value in the code which is a damage multiplier like 0.4 and that the player sees like 60% (same value) for 50% this is the same number though

I don't get it
