If you're shooting an AP SADAR rocket at a drone, you've got different problems.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

Are you basically saying you want it to go through a drone?

The drone is doing her job by absorbing expensive rockets.

I don't think this would be a good addition.

-1,

Just because it's armor piercing doesn't mean it's armor ignoring. Plus drones are meat shields anyway.

No im saying it would actully be able to hit the drone. For example last round I played this happened "The Mature Spitter (110)'s thick exoskeleton deflects the anti-armor rocket!"

That sounds literally impossible but at the same time its probably RNG memery so i guess you got unlucky.

AP rockets are not armor proof, they lessen the effect of armored targets, similarly to AP bullets. Perhaps they need to be more penetrative.

There is literally no way a drone can block an AP rocket, unless there is some mistake in the code. I'm moving this to bugs for right now. If you have proof, post it.

Edit: It was a bug. I fixed it. Resolved.
