This is how armor, attack type and unit size works out:

(Number of attacks)(Damage-Armor)x(Attack type and unit type)=Damage dealt

So in the goliath vs mutalisk it works like this:
2(10-1)x0.5=9

Basicly, if it's explosive vs small unit size, every armor point only reduces 0.5 damage. So you get no advantage from upgrading armor because of unit types.

Everything in sc works that way, but the firebat attack is a bitch to apply it on since angles and shit matters for the amount of damage there.

Mutalisk ricochet attack (if anyone wonders) works like this (assuming one attack upgrade on muts):
First Hit: 9+1=10
Second Hit: (9+1)/3=3.333
Third Hit: (9+1)/9=1.1111

The sc engine appears to be able to handle any relevant number of decimals (as far as I remember) so the 0.3333 and 0.1111 etc extra damage will count. It will work like this (taking the second hit scenario, once again assuming +1 attack muta):
Unit gets hit by Second Hit once: 3dmg, 3dmg total
Unit gets hit by Second Hit twice: 3dmg, 6dmg total
Unit gets hit by Second Hit thrice: 4dmg, 10dmg total
Not considering enemy armor.

Wraiths, Goliaths, and Zealots have two attacks.
Firebats have three.

That's about all I remember.
But armor definitely.
