l mandrake 9 Posted July 31, 2010 Seems wrong that the Stryker SLAT gets toasted by 1 rpg hit when it has the slat armour (cages) on the sides specifically to disrupt rpg strikes. I know Arma's hitpoint system is inflexible, but is there a way to simulate the cage armour's effect - using a second hidden 'vehicle' to represent the SLAT or something?

max power 21 Posted July 31, 2010 I wonder what the fire geo looks like. I think that Arma causes damage based on stuff like distance from the source, etc. If the slats are in the fire geo, then the rpg should detonate on the slats, away from the armour.

Damage is based on what component was hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blakeace 11 Posted July 31, 2010 Don't know if this would help, we use it in all our missions to give a much more realistic feel when facing RPG's. It doesn't do anything in the sense of armour penetration, but affects the ability of the ai AT firer. Makes using light armour a lot more fun and emmersive. More near misses to give crews a chance to react. Though slow and close will still nail you generally! http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8967&highlight=AT+ADJUST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Damage is based on what component was hit. That's not the whole story. Attempts to make tanks more survivable have taken critical damage selections in the hitpoints LOD and moved them away from the centre of model. There is a three dimensional component aswell. Taking into account the blast radius. And what if no component is hit at all? Edited August 1, 2010 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted August 1, 2010 Has this been changed in the beta or something? I was in a M2 Stryker and we were hit three times with RPGs and suffered nothing more than some scuffed paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
