Armor and Speed

I have a question. I cannot test it at the moment because I am not on my gaming computer.

But does # of armor plating on vehicles affect the vehicles max speed and/or acceleration?

 

No, but Gas Turbine gains acceleration as you lose a percentage of your original health, which is taken from all plates and hull.

 

I still dunno how much I like that.

Mainly because empires tanks drive like shit and you have to learn each engines handling seperately, and if your tank dynamically changes how it handles that kinda makes your job 10x harder.

 

Honestly, it has so little effect I don't even know why I bother with it.

 

I can't push it much further without making it uncontrollable.

 

Idea: add better cooling as well when you loose armor? Sounds legit right? less shit to keep the heat in.

 

I can't link an overall loss of HP to cooling. I can make an armour gain/lose cooling ability as it takes damage, but there's nothing to support that with engines.
