Developers explained: “In general, the larger the caliber of the weapon, the more damage you will do to hard parts. Explosions are also very effective against hard parts, as the shock wave penetrates everything. Some weapons are more effective than others or have special abilities, but they operate in accordance with the mechanics described above.”
“Orbital Precision Strike”:
“”Orbital Precision Strike” was originally intended to combat enemy spawn points and stationary enemy positions. However, this did not stop players from using them in almost any situation.
So we wanted to make them easier to use against moving targets by reducing the summoning time. We've also reduced the cooldown time to make Orbital Precision Strike more accessible and more competitive with Eagle Stratagems.”
