Warp ammo is the best ammo for the typhoon. Why? Because it does the most damage overall. I believe at level 3, AP is 30%, Warp is 35% extra damage. Now, some people might argue that AP is better against armor but not on the typhoon. This weapon has an innate 50% armor ignore built in feature. So the 60% that AP ammo provides, turns into a measly 10% when coupled with the typhoon because the ignore armor is capped at 60% in the game. So against armor, Warp ammo actually does more or the same damage than AP. Against shields & barriers, Warp is better due to the higher natural multiplier.
So only use AP ammo if you are intending to shoot through solid walls most of the time. The rest of the time use Warp.
I had to use Warp anyway because with other types of ammo GPS took 5 shots to kill phantoms instead of 3.
Great Video, another vulgar display of power ..
Ignore armor is not capped in ME3 . You can get it over 100% with AP ammo and AP weapon mod combination - and thus ignore armor DR.. (you get this effect from ap ammo and ap weapon mods ..it stacks)
Some weapons completly ignore armor DR innately (GPS, Graal , Kishok Harpoon) - relevant ammo powers(Warp, AP) would still add damage vs armor with those weapons too ..
Armor weakeing is capped at 50% (at best it lowers gold 50 armor DR to 25 armor DR ) ... (you get this effect from warp ammo, cryo ammo , warp , .. - it doesn't stack from different sources ..)
Have no information on Platium diff armor setting ...
Have no information on Typhoon's X damage per shot ...Obviously if the damage per shot is low enough - armor weakening , ignoring or a combination of both would help a lot ...
You say Typhoon has 50% armor ignore innately ...( Which would mean it doesn't ignore armor completly and thus all this damage vs armor is discussion is relevant) ...This is a quality that stacks in ME 3 (AP ammo has it, ap weapon mods have it .. and can go over 100% (without additional benefits past 100%) ,)
Without knowing Typhoon's damage per hit and Plantiums Armor DR amount (cannot install the last add-on - the game always shows me an empty add-ons list) I can't say for sure wich ammo type would do more damage vs armor ... So at this point I will say probably the same ...(no significant difference) ...
Where the Warp ammo wins over AP is of course the extra damage vs Barriers that helps tremendously vs 2 of the most annoying hard to kill insta killers in the game - Phantoms and Banshees ...
