Title: Armor toughness
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on December 30, 2009, 04:36:13 PM: Is Plastic 3 stronger than Steel 1? I ask, because there's a bullet hole with a number beside it, which I think signifies toughness, and Plastic 3's number is greater than Steel 1's. However, my instincts tell me that no plastic is stronger than steel. Can anyone clarify?

And that, you be wrong. High end bullet prof lexan, bonded chemically, can far surpass most steel alloys.

decompiling with hers doesnt effect the original CFZ it makes a copy

Post by: Naryar on January 01, 2010, 11:16:50 AM: I would disagree.

The best armor choices you have (60 HP/kg) are Plastic 3, Titanium 1, Titanium 5 and Titanium 10.

Post by: 123savethewhales on January 01, 2010, 10:58:52 PM: But the realistic armor choice are plastic 1, titanium 1, plastic 3, plastic 5, and titanium 3. Titanium 5 is really pushing it and 10 should never be used. If you got that much weight you could of lower your armor to plastic 5 and put on external armors instead.

For the most part I stick to plastic 3 and 5. Plastic 5 has a better ratio than titanium 3, and I suppose titanium 1 isn't so bad in certain situations, I just never got the chance to use it much.

Post by: Naryar on January 02, 2010, 09:02:57 AM: Well your building style doesn't needs a lot of chassis armor... still i use heavier armors as a fail-safe (my last SnS has a tiny chassis but Steel 5) when using small chassis, and often Ti 5 on my heavies so i don't get killed when i have a chassis hit.

And probably because i'm lazy to put external armor :P
