Also some ships get an attack reduction when attacking a specific ship. Here's some highlights)
Attack Penetration:
hiig bc attack at 50% vs frigs
hiig ions attack at 20% vs colls (this is why torps work so good in compairison)
hiig pulsar attack at 60% vs colls (this is why missle corvs work so much better vs colls)
vay bc attack for shit vs frigs(60% for missles, and often miss w/ trinity) and colls(20%)
vay dd attack at only 20% vs colls (this is why vay dd sucks vs collectors)
vay lazers attack at only 24% vs colls (cc's make better targets for this reason)
Vaygr Capitals sure do have trouble with Colls, though I suppose it would be a bit overpowered if a Vaygr DD would kill 4 colls with a single Broadside.
Speaking of Trinity Cannon, ever seen it fire 90 degrees?

If that is true, then it is hardcoded into the game, because the lua files do not contain any special information on frontal or side attacks.
It is true, pretty easy to see in a normal HMF vs Ion battle since the HM's retarget usually from the rear of the Ions.
