more armor info

[lX-OSCEOLA-Xl]

 

Syph1n (on the PS forums) tested all of the weapons against the various armor choices. i made a few graphs to make the data a little easier to view.

 

 

 

a few conclusions to draw here ....

the M14 and AK47 are heavy armor killers.

 

- at 50 meters, there is really no difference between the AK47 & M14 and the other assault rifles. why would you use another weapon when you would be fighting at that range? i would need a really good reason, and i don't have one.

 

- at 100 meters, the heavy armor is kinda useless. at that range the only benefit you get is if someone is using an M4 or STG 77 (in the graph there would be a slope going up and to the right on medium to heavy)

 

- at 50 meters, the heavy provides one extra shot benefit to you, but only against the following assault rifles ... M16, M4, HK36, 552, and STG 77

 

- i'll take back what i said previously about medium armor and it being completely useless. it is clear from these tests that medium armor is NOT useless.

 

- damage does by weapons is greatly influenced by range. ie. at 100 meters you need four shots to kill someone with heavy armor using the STG, and at 50 meters you can get the same kill with one less chest shot. range is very important, and the rifle you choose dies impact the gameplay.

 

need to test some of the special faction weapons (ie SFCLR and FAMAS).
