A/C Armor Must Haves

Ragnak Ragnaks Reavers Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 315 Joined: Jul 7, 2010 After doing a large number of lorry runs to get my camp up and going, I've been introduced to A armor Lorries. The difference between it and a B armor lorry is night and day. Are there other vehicles which just simply demand A armor all the time or even C armor (I remember some car designs using C armor for the extra weight to help keep recoil and the bouncing front end in check).

C armor anything sucks Anyway, I'd say the lorry is the one you'd see the most significant change in, for the rest it helps, but for the lorry it can help negate a heavy load for sure, that, and a 9.4l engine. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Feb 14, 2011, 6:12 pm

A couple of rocket hits to the side of your lorry and you've lost all potential profit from your run. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 14, 2011, 7:40 pm

I've used C armor successfully on Apaches with two big guns, like CC and HGG, to keep the bounce in check. ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped4,16,10 Posted Feb 14, 2011, 10:59 pm

Checkers Axis of Weevils Autodueller Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 355 Joined: Jul 17, 2010 C armour heavies are good in general. I haven't tried it, but a C armour Merc or Windy would make a lot of sense and the weight would help with recoil. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 15, 2011, 1:03 am

Thin Izzy Izzys Irregulars Racer Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 141 Joined: Sep 22, 2009 Main thing I use A armor for is for smaller bulk courier work (PU/BPU) and personnel runners (muscle cars) - just a little extra edge for outrunning other vehicles during encounters. I can't vouch for its effectiveness on a van/lorry as yet but I suspect it doesn't help as much as having escort vehicles for the van/lorry would. Basically it's useful for a small to mid-size solo vehicle whose sole role is to run away rather than fight. A armor could be good for optimizing a racing vehicle, if you can soak the expense. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 15, 2011, 2:12 am

Procyon Weak Head Normal Forms Autodueller Renegade Group: Members Posts: 384 Joined: May 31, 2009 I use A armor a lot on muscle cars and racers. Windy II's bounce too much with A though. I like them in B armor. Never found a good use for C armor though. I like my speed too much. ......................... vet wv pvp3 Posted Feb 16, 2011, 12:36 am

More vehicle mass equals more destructiveness. On the flip side, it's harder to build up momentum. ......................... vet wv marshal Posted Feb 19, 2011, 7:40 am

Triferus Old Grannies Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 166 Joined: Oct 25, 2010 I've been testing out a C armored Phoenix to try and save money. It's not bad. It accelerates just a little slower, but not a lot and definitely not as much as I feared considering it added over 1000 weight. Oh I'm running a 4L on it btw. The main downside is it's definitely slower going up steep hills. Otherwise it seems to work quite well. On the plus side, it's rock solid when it fires and when it takes hits. I've taken RL hits to the side and I didn't even see the car move. I can't say the same with my B armored Phoenix. Armor repair costs are of course half of what they are with B armor (since C costs half as much as B). So, as a cost-saving measure in Somerset I'd say it's a practical thing to do. I wouldn't make your only Phoenix use C armor, but if you have more than one, try it and see if it works for you. Those of you who find such expenses irrelevant probably won't want to bother. ......................... vet wv Posted Feb 19, 2011, 6:08 pm

But, I will say, the flights of a 5LV8 powered Moray are quite epic..... ......................... vet wv zom marshal paintladder cont Posted Feb 21, 2011, 1:14 pm
