RPG/Mortar Change

Dont implement it as a research and remove the rpg upgrade researchs and
balance late gren/tanks in another way. Its more than unfair to have to beg
your commander as grenadier to be a full functional class... every other class
works "out of the box".

 

How armor should work, in my opinion:

-Damage done to the hull is based on the amount of armor on the tank:

• A Heavy Tank has a maximum of six armor plates
• At six armor plates, the armor would provide 100% protection
• At zero armor plates the armor would provide 0% protection
• 0 plates = 0%, 1 plate = 16%, 2 plates = 33%, 3 plates = 50%, 4 plates = 66%, 5 plates = 83%, 6 plates = 100%
• So if a Heavy tank with four plates is hit by a 110 damage RPG, it receives 100% damage (110 HP damage) to armor (how it works now), and 33% damage (37 HP damage) to hull.
• A Light tank would be 1 plate = 50%, 2 plates = 100%, etc etc

This would allow complete protection for hull on only the first shot per side. Although perhaps this would make anti-tanks weapons too powerful; perhaps increase hull health a bit?

But hey, as far as game balance goes, what the hell do I know?

 

Also, God Hand, take in consideration different armor types VS different missile types.
A mess of biblical proportions.
Pun intended.

 

Actually, to be honest, it's not a horrendous idea from god hand. With the right bit of balancing, it could add a new level of strategy to tank battling, as well as being a way to fix the gren vs tanks.

 

Hand's post is just a more in-depth copy of my idea!

 

Increase the hp of all chassis by 30% whilst adding this idea, as a ton of tanks will be dying left and right...

Maybe grant CV a better rate of protection, because this idea also makes them super vulnerable to the CV walling.

Or lower the % to a minimal amount so the armor still feels like it does something.

 

At the risk of some serious necromancy...

will the hull bonus of XX% still add up if there is no armor to "ignore"

for example



-hull-----armor


100%----50%

grenadier hits 10% hull bonus + 25% armor

90%----25%

grenadier hits 10% hull bonus + 25% armor

90%----0%

and then...

grenadier hits 10% hull bonus + 25% hull???? (normal damage to hull plus the bonus)

55%----0%

or

grenadier hits 25% hull???? (normal damage)

65%----0%
