question about Metal gear's 8-B calc?

[Jesterofgames]

So basically it comes from Vulgan being able to pump out a large amount of electricity. But, I've seen people go back and forth on whether that should scale to AP and durability. And I'm not sure if wiki standards have changed since then. And Metal gear as a whole seems like it doesn't get a lot of discussion outside of Revengence.
So I'm just wondering if it's still valid, or if there needs to be a look back at it or what.
Also I'm genuinly surprised with how few calcs metal gear has for it despite it having several games.

This is also in Questons and answers because obviously I'm just double checking the standard. not trying to revise the verse.

The calc's legit, but it shouldn't scale to anyone physically cuz wiki standards. The verse is overall very outdated.

Yeah it feels like it. I mean it wouldn't surprise me if there was another CB level feat people overlooked, cause outdated verse + multiple games with some absurde stuff.

I doubt 8-B, but there might be some cool High 8-C stuff around. (Which unfortunately would only scale to dudes by the time of MGS1)

The Phantom Pain has 2 8-B feats as of right now (It depends for the latter)
Which would scale to MGS1 people if they werent outliers

Why are they outliers?

Both those calcs wrong.

1 just has a handful of misinfo and a bunch of fuckys, wouldn't be surprised if it's High 8-C to 8-B tho but lmao scaling Venom to Sahel physically.

And 2 has the right idea, but, obviously, tanks aren't just chunks of metal/iron, you need to take into what they're actually made of, from obviously the metal, but plastic, composite armor, rubber, glass, etc, it's like how our car bust calcs don't just go "yeah a car, just a chunk of steel lmao".
Treating it as just one material would skew it massively, but tbh it's def 8-C to High 8-C and probably will be used for MGS1 dudes and beyond, so either way. 8-B though, nuh uh, if it was like an M1 Abrams I could maybe see it but a 28 ton tank pretty sure it's more like 22 but ya know won't work.

The Volgin calc has long been accepted (iirc it's actually been years at this point) to not just scale. The feat itself is fine, and Volgin would keep the AP, but it just wouldn't scale to anyone's physicals.

my main question is about the physical's. I wasn't doubting the calc. Though Would it scale to anyone's elses Ap (with weapons)? just curious.

I could see an argument for Mantis but otherwise nah.

Weapons can go up to 8-A and have some good feats. Physicals is the main concern.
