Hm... could you be a little more specific about the armor calculation change? Would it affect the Turtle/Shelter perks? Also, when did the SMGs have a 15% critical rate before this update? And is 10% the normal rate of critical hits for the other weapons?

On a different note, perk icons... nice touch developers!

We added some randomness to all amror calculations including Turtle. This was made so there is always a chance to pierce even very high armor.
SMGs had 15% for quite some time before now. If you used it you probably noticed increased critical rate. SMGs are very powerful weapon now especially considering +2 AP if you master them so we decide it to tune it back.
Most of the weapons have 10% rate now except RPK, melee, and mines - they have 15%
