Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units
 

I looked into my Dirtside mod this morning. I found that I was using armored motorbikes for PA. But I tried to run a scenario and i couldn't get it to run for some reason. I do recall the PA working at some point tho.

Did you make the 40k mod? Thats the one I was basing my stuff off of.

I can't imagine a scout helo working well at all.

Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units
 

Yeah the 40K mod was mine. However I need to re-work that quite heavily at some point.

Actualy for Cap troopers the helo works well.

Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units
 

So I'm curious as to the Cap trooper thing, how did you get them to not run away? Just armor them alot?

Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units
 

I can't remember... I think I only gave them a point of damage, assuming that a signle hit would destroy or cripple the trooper.

Tehir small size (2 IIRC) and good all round armour (again i nthe 2-3 range) meant that it was tougth to hit them, and hard to pentrate when you did. once however you did get through the soft squishy human died.

Why not just edit the survivability of the unit in question.

Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units
 

Would work OK - if it happens to be a vehicle class you were editing.

Not necessarily. I edited the survivability rating for a one man infantry unit, with a unit size of 0, from 0 to 1 then 2 then 3. Each time the effects of the hit decreased. We are talking survivaility at 70-90% hit probability. So not just vehicles by the loks of it.
