This tool is designed to estimate the likelihood of a successful armor penetration in the video game Escape From Tarkov. It takes into account several factors, including the ammunition type being used, the type and condition of the armor worn by the target, and the potential for ricochets. For example, a user can input information about using 7.62x54R LPS ammunition against a Class 4 armored rig with 50% durability to see the estimated probability of penetrating the armor on the first shot.
The significance of this application lies in its ability to assist players in making informed decisions regarding ammunition selection and tactical approaches within the game. Understanding the penetration capabilities of different ammunition types against various armor classes provides a strategic advantage. Previously, players relied heavily on community-compiled charts and personal experience, which could be time-consuming and inaccurate. This application offers a more streamlined and precise method for assessing potential combat outcomes.
