If your a DEV and you are reading this, could you pleas add armor blocks into the game. They would basically be fuselage blocks that are harder/ impossible to destroy by machine gun fire. They would scale the same way and function the same way (maybe weighing more) but could stop bullets. Or instead of even putting in a whole new piece if that's to hard, you could tick a box in the fuselage blocks attributes page(boyancey, Dead weight, fuel) that turns the "armor" mode one (aka armor physics/ indestructible mode apply). I'm currently working on a battleship project and its pretty sad when a small machine gun can destroy the whole ship.
just set the health value to something higher than 100
I hope this comment is usefull, my partset#6 contains armor
@Waemoth I'm aware of how think the armor belts were on BB's bro. also most BB's didn't even have 410mm of armor on the belt. The Yamato did, and it also had 25in of armor on its turret front. And that all floated because of buoyancy, and not some magic block that can just suddenly generate buoyancy. I just want to be able to have an armor belt and other kinda armored parts that are harder to destroy and wont be suspect to "machine gun killing" my ship.
@mufasa6896 Realistically BBs had about 400mm (16") at the most at their belts, and that only covered the citadel. The fore and aft, and below and above the main belt was however pretty weak.
@mufasa6896 They shouldn't float under their own weight if the armor value is crazy high, but if they have something reasonable, let's say 10% armor and 100% bouyancy they should.
@KingDeadshot Yes, it would look pretty amazing if someone pulled it off.
@KingDeadshot as long as the armor block can still float under its own weight if boyancy is 100%. Other wise BB's would be imposible, because they are pretty much armor everywhere. @Waemoth
@KingDeadshot I think it would be possible to make a parachute with a combination of really light blocks and wings.
@KingDeadshot I just got an amazing idea, a tank you could drop from a cargoplane (with a parachute)!
agreed @Waemoth or else people will start making flying tanks.
Being able to give blocks an armor percentage would be nice, but it would have to be really, really heavy, so that people don't just go for full armor on all blocks.
@SimpleTechAndResearch that might work
@mufasa6896 I mean simple damage. Like 10% Of a wing falls of it it gets it. Not damage like war thunder
@SimpleTechAndResearch that might be too intensive/ require blocks to have damage physics which would be hyper intensive.
Yeah. And maybe realistic damage
