I don't really understand decimator damage


I was trying in the VR training as a TR comparing it with a AI grounder.

First I shoot a max with it. He didn't instantly died, I was kinda shoked. I though max has 2000 health and 1 decimator rocket should bring him down.
After the decimator rocket I unloaded 25 bullets from a MRW (143*0.2*25=715)
I don't get it, or the decimator isn't doing 2000 damage to the max suits, or they have 2600 health
Looks like I can bring down a max with 2 rockets from both weapons.

I tried it with a liberator, 2 decimator rockets kill the liberator. 4000 damage.
Then I pick up the grounder, and fired 6-8 rockets to the liberator to kill it (at least 9000 damage).

Then I shoot a vanguard in the back with the decimator. As far as I can remember I needed 4 rockets to bring it down (8000 damage). Maybe I'm wrong but normally I just need 5 grounder rockets to bring it down (7500).

The last one is the only one that makes sense. So I don't really get it. A tradeoff of about 50% speed and a rocket for a 30% damage increase.

Maybe the VR training is not registering it properly, why you guys think?

Don't know what to tell ya, our TR weapons aren't all that powerful ie, takes more rounds to kill anything. We do shoot alot of rounds really quick.

The Decimator is an NS weapon, it's not faction specific.

Splash damage is bugged in VR and doesn't apply.

Also, you aren't taking into account resist values in your findings.
