Issue Description:
The damage profile on the Antax Mk V Combat Axe is counterintuitive, the Heavy 1 attack has less damage against maniacs than the Light 1 attack. All other damage values are higher, as expected from a heavy attack.
Steps to Reproduce:
Grab yourself an Antax Mk V Combat Axe.
Try and kill a mutant with heavy attacks
Notice it does not do the damage you feel it should.

LIGHT ATTACK 1 - 210 damage against Maniac targets on body
I think that’s intended, several weapon types have better on hit damage or just way better DPS with lights on heretics wearing crazy for armor. Remember that Dreg Rager is the only Maniac enemy who doesn’t also take 3X melee damage.
Now if we want to talk about the weapons that can score worse weakpoint damage on flak armor than bodyshot yes absolutely.
I know this is now listed as acknowledged but honestly different damage profiles for different attacks makes perfect sense to me. It’s pretty simple for Caxe, you heavy on carapace and unyielding, light for everything else. Coming from VT2 this is very intuitive for an axe to me.
Form my experience, the Acknowledged tag merely means they have seen and recorded the proposed bug/problem, not formally recognized it as a bug/problem that needs fixing. I’ve had posts get Acknowledged within the day, then seemingly randomly get marked as not-a-bug 3 weeks later.
