Your assumptions on the form of the damage equation seem really wrong. First off you need to know what the armor of the sub you are attacking is.

This is the formula for damage:

Damage = (FP * Precaps * Crit - Armor) * Random Value * Remaining Ammo.

You don't multiply by armor. The randomness is due to the Random Value in equation.

FP = ASW_eq*2 + 10 (for BBV/CVL)

For for BBV with 22 ASW = 44+10 = 54 FP

1-5 first node: Elite Ka has 21 Armor (don't know if this is true but just making assumption to show calculations.

Damage = (54 * 1.2 - 21) * RV = 43.8 * RV = Range from 29.2 - 58.4 (T cross green)

Damage = (54 * .8  - 21) * RV = 43.8 * RV = Range from 14.8-29.6 (Head on)

For for BBV with 16 ASW = 32+10 = 42 FP

Damage = (42 * 1.2 - 21) * RV = 29.4 * RV = Range from 19.6 - 39.2 (T cross green)

Damage = (42 * 1  - 21) * RV = 21 * RV = Range from 14-28 (Parellel)
