Title: Preventing Damage to Axe/Hammer Handles
Post by: BATTLEMASTER IIC on March 05, 2009, 10:30:33 AM: Well it seems that every time I strike a robot with a hammer or axe, the extenders they are mounted on take damage. Now I would expect this to happen in real life as well, if you're swinging a hammer hard enough to damage an armored robot. But this isn't real life is it :-D Is there a way to prevent damage to the hammer's extender while swinging it?

I used to use the square extenders, but the red round ones seem to be more capable of taking punishment. All are 120 cm in length.

To 'answer' your question though - Why make a virtually realistic game (The glitches and some components holding it back) just to make it unrealistic?

Exactly what i was thinking... It's not really curved extenders, but a curved hammer arm.

Look at Sage's showcase, yeah.
