Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Damage and armor types

Basic damage and armor system
Damage is done in a simple mathematic equation. It begins with whether the attack hit or missed, if it does hit, the damage is calculated as follows: how much damage the attacking unit does. The only exception to the final rule is forcefields. Forcefields instead take full damage from all sources, regardless of the unit's size or damage type modifiers but damage is still reduced by shield armor.

Also all damages can never be reduced to zero, unless target is armored, with the minimal damage being 1.

Infantry (light/medium/heavy/superheavy)
Most infantry comes in squad sizes, where its cheaper to reinforce then replace them most of the time, and are split between light, medium, heavy, and superheavy.

Light infantry can fire their weapons while moving, even when moving away from target, and can move through dense terrain without penalty but immediately becomes pinned when suppressed.

Medium infantry can fire their weapon while moving towards their target, albeit with greater inaccuracies, but will become supressed.

Heavy infantry are immune to suppression, but are heavily slowed down and takes more damage instead, but they must be still to fire.

Superheavy infantry are immune to suppression and reduces all non piercing/disruptor damage by a quarter, but are stunned by artillery strikes, heavily slowed in dense terrain, and takes a few seconds to fire.

Vehicle (light/heavy/superheavy)
Vehicles are significantly tougher then infantry but are unable garrison or reinforce, and takes more damage to the sides and particularly the rear. And are split between light, heavy, also known as tank, and superheavy. And can also suffer from critical damages, from damaged engines to a busted gun.

Light vehicles are not slowed by dense terrain and are resistant to piercing weaponry, due to either overpenetration or their speed allowing them to dodge, but suffers from normal damage

Heavy vehicles are universally armored, making them immune to all non piercing weaponry but are slowed by dense terrain.

Superheavy vehicles are not only immune to non piercing/disruptor weapons but also reduces all oncoming damage by a quarter, but takes more damage to the sides and particularly the rear, and heavily slowed in dense terrrain.

Omni (light/heavy)
Omni-armoured units, like mechs, do not suffer from directionality damage.

Aircraft (light/heavy/protocol)
Aircraft are more frail compared to vehicles but they can fly, and is split between light, heavy, and protocol.

Light aircrafts are vulnerable to any damage that can hit it.

Heavy aircrafts takes half damage from non-piercing/disruptor weapons.

Protocol aircrafts can only be hit by weapon with long range tags, but, like their name indicated, they only come from protocols.
