25 May 2004 01:19 (UK time) A nice idea would be you could pick up armour (like eg. a flak jacket gives you 33% armour, a combat vest 50% and a shield module 100%). If you were hit with a small projectile (eg. bullet, only 25% of damage would get through)a medium sized projectile (eg. laser or rocket, only 50% would get through) large projectiles (eg. plutonium/spreader plutonium, 75% would penetrate the armour) Posted 10:23 AEST Edited: 25 May 2004 01:20 You need to login to create posts in this thread.

26 May 2004 21:50 (UK time) Armour has already been implemented into M2, races carry it and projectiles have armour values, it works very well. Wooden crates are easy to shoot but the metal ones take some time even though have the same hp value. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

27 May 2004 19:09 (UK time) Would the armour system also also seperate form projectiles like arrows which shouldn't be able to penetrate armour to sniper bullets which could greatly penetrate armour. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

03 June 2004 12:37 (UK time) To Dave: If you shoot a from a rifle into a 1X1X1m cardbore box (bad spelling?) filled with that kind of sand used under asphalt (bad spelling?), it wouldn't go far. But if you shoot a arrow into it, the chance it would go out on the other side is great! I mean it! Most bullets aren't heavy enough to do such things. The impact energy in the heavier arrow is awsome! (Well, an armor piercing .50 BMG can tear through the gas tank of an Russian Main Battle Tank! Inteligent arrows would turn around in a scream if they face one...) Kim Nilsson You need to login to create posts in this thread.

03 June 2004 19:07 (UK time) Good point. It would be nice to have a sandbag type object that would catch bullets but let some arrows pass however, when you shoot an arrow at a Bradely tank, I don't think the arrow will penetrate the armour. Arrows may pass through smal holes but they cannot easily pass or damage solid metal. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

09 June 2004 13:19 (UK time) Well those arrows have explosive charges wich could penetrate armour, so all explosions should penetrate armour. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

13 September 2004 10:50 (UK time) Not all explosions pierce armour in real life, but damage and HP values could be set in M2 to counter this: a frag grenade with a damage value of 75 and an Armour piercing value of 100 would easly kill infantry and a rusty truck set to 50 HP and 5 Armour but would only scratch a Tank set to 1500 HP and 90 Armour.
