[@jurajsintaj6644]

​@@RobinTheBotwell, yes, because at that point the order to surrender was given. Though, those sections which did fight did put up one hell of a fight. The purpose of the maginot line was to essentially force germany to fight in the low countries, instead of attacking France directly at the franco german border. And due to politicial problems in france itself, and lobbying from the lowland countries, the defensive wall was not extended to the coast. Germany didnt win against france because france was stupid, it was because germany put massive effort into preparing for war, while france had internal politicial issues and the matter of war was somewhat ignored. Thats why the french army was so underdeveloped by that time.

The directional block means 100% of 70% block chance from the front, 50% of 70% block chance from the sides (so 35% block chance), and 10% of 70% block chance from the rear (so 7% block chance).

I think the directional missile block chance means it has 100% of 70% (so just 70%) missile block from the front, 50% of 70% (35%) missile block from the side, and 10% of 70% (7%) missile block from the rear. The missile block by the armor stat is being modified by the percentages of the skill in the at the bottom of the stat card based on which direction missiles hit.

[@Inkling2B]

Right, but after a certain armor point (~200?), it just doesn't matter anymore, because missiles that aren't above a certain base damage threshold and aren't armor-piercing will be inflicting 0 damage. Legend proved a couple times using different stats. I remember the physical resistance one was with Cylostra Direfin on her ghost crab - was essentially impervious to any small arms fire. I think the time he did it with armor was with Thorek Ironbrow.

​@@oscarstaszky1960 it has to accomodate for you having multiple different units in your formation.

My understanding of the directional missile block thing is that it doesn't represent the absolute missile block chance but the missile block chance relative to the one indicated by the shield icon. Which would mean you get 70% from the front, 35% in the flanks and 7% in the rear. Alternatively, the tanks might still take damage because some shots are hitting them from above, with their not being a block chance for that direction.
