Example
RA/TS Example
[Weapon] Damage=100 Warhead=Foo [Foo] ; n , w , l , h , c Verses=10%,50%,30%,70%,90% [Target1] Armor=light [Target2] Armor=concrete
One shot of Weapon will deal:
- 100 * 30% = 30 points of damage to Target1.
- 100 * 90% = 90 points of damage to Target2.
RA2/YR Example
[Weapon] Damage=100 Warhead=Foo [Foo] ; n , f , p , l , m , h , w , s , c , 1 , 2 Verses=10%,15%,20%,30%,35%,40%,50%,55%,60%,70%,90% ;none,flak,plate,light,medium,heavy,wood,steel,concrete,special_1,special_2 [Target1] Armor=light [Target2] Armor=concrete [Target3] Armor=special_2
One shot of Weapon will deal:
- 100 * 30% = 30 points of damage to Target1.
- 100 * 60% = 60 points of damage to Target2.
- 100 * 90% = 90 points of damage to Target3.
Special Values
In RA/TS
heavy=0% (Infantry Only)
Infantry using a weapon that deals 0% damage to heavy armor will not passively acquire nor retaliate against any vehicle, aircraft, or building targets. This ensures units like snipers or attack dogs won't acquire targets that they're not able to harm.
For example:
[HollowPoint] Verses=100%,1%,1%,0%,1%
As mentioned, this special logic only works on infantry units wielding the weapon.
In RA2/YR
There are special-case Verses values that are only available in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. These values are 0% and 1%.
Note: The rules(md).ini comments regarding these values are incorrect. Use this guide to determine the correct effects.
0% - Forbidden Armor Type
A Verses value of 0% indicates that the corresponding Armor type is a forbidden target for this Warhead. A unit using a weapon with the attached Warhead will not accept an attack command against another unit with that Armor type. Nor will it accept a force fire command, retaliate, or passive acquire on a target with that Armor type.
1% - Cannot Passive Acquire
A Verses value of 1% indicates that a unit using a weapon with the attached Warhead will not passive acquire a target with the corresponding Armor type. However, the unit will still accept an attack command, a force fire command, and retaliate against it. Since 1% renders a great reduction in damage, it is typically only used for special-case weapons that aren't meant to deal damage, such as the Spy's disguise weapon.
What About 2%?
2% doesn't seem to have any effect on targeting.
Negative Percentages
If a verses contains a negative value such as -100% the effects of damage are reversed thus restoring lost Strength=.
One shot of weapon will deal:
- 100 * -30% = will restore 30 points of Strength= to Target.
