Thermal detonators don't rely on potency?
I've heard from somewhere here on the forums that thermal detonators have extra potency and are much more hard to resist, is this true?

I can unconfirm it. They most definitely do not have around 100% potency just for them. My JE gets resisted fairly often - completely in line with the potency/tenacity mechanics.
100% potency doesn't me 100% chance to apply. Even if the opponent was at 0% tenacity there is still a 15% chance to resist.
The tank probably has 60% + tenacity on it.
so 60% tenacity vs 100% potency is 40% chance to resist.
I was under the impression that as long as your potency was equal to or higher than the opponents tenacity, they only have a 15% chance to resist.
Yeah, he did that backwards. It's MAX(T - P, 15%).
And for thermal detonators you get a bonus described above. Otherwise this formula is correct.
