Specifies the percentage of the Damage= from the weapon that this warhead will inflict on the target, and is also used to determine the legality of targeting against each Armor= type. This takes the form of a list of 11 percentage values - each value represents the percentage damage that the warhead will inflict against each of the 11 Armor= types. There are several special cases applying to this logic;-<br />

Any value assigned as 2% when used in conjunction with Damage=1 on the weapon itself indicates that 'zero net damage' will be applied to the target. This is used to ensure that the warhead is applied to the target but no damage is inflicted. It will not passively acquire the target. Other Damage= values mean that it will accept a 'force fire' command and will retaliate against the target, but will not passively acquire a target of its own accord.<br />

If an object has more than one weapon, it will default to choosing the weapon which has the highest Verses= percentage for the Armor= type it is firing against.

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

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 percents are also allowed

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.
