Spider armor thickness?

Post by fibol »

Does anyone know the armor thickness values of the new spiders? I really don't want to figure out that my At guns bounce off by them overrunning me.

Well, it turns out I got duped by the description, spiders are still soft targets.

Your basic Arachnids and I think the Defendrix are soft targets but the scarier Dominatrix and Champion spiders are hard targets. I'm not sure what their effective armour thickness is, but on the last planet I played I was handling the spiders okay with machine guns and howitzer tanks before running into giant alien lobsters that were armoured enough I needed 60 mm AT guns to deal with them - the armoured spiders were less tough than the giant lobsters so 40 mm is probably fine if you run into a lot of armoured spiders and need dedicated AT equipment for them.
