Think of it this way Connie (this is overly simplified and for example only)...

One use of your gang backup/protection always provides you with 10 "points". Regardless of who you are, it's always 10.

Now newb can have 5 points max. So one use gives him 5 points, and the other 5 are wasted. He is displayed as 100%.

You however can have 20 points max. So one use gives you 50% of your max. You can use it again to get 100%.
