Magrider Armor Cost Change Please!!!!
This is not a bug or a drastic change, but I think once I explain it will make sense.
The mag is basically a Tank Destroyer from the old WWII day's. When you look at the concept of a regular tank it makes sense to place a large amount of armor in two places, in which are the front and sides. However, for a historical tank destroyers there was a larger amount of armor on the front as opposed to the sides. It did not have the means to rotate the gun towards the enemy making engagements directly head on. They were masters of concealment, ambush and known as snipers in the armor community. They were short and could hide behind the smallest of brush where they lay in wait for unsuspecting tanks. They had larger caliber ammunition then tanks but less armor on the sides as well as back. And, they never engaged heavy tanks like two heavy weights, standing in the middle of the ring exchanging blows to see who could take more punishment.
In PS2 they are tall, large and very agile. However, the drawback is the armor upgrade is incorrect. When you look at the mag certification section, it shows the side armor upgrade being the most costly. This usually implies it is of better quality etc.. etc... But, any highly intelligent mag pro (lol) should never be using the side armor imo because he always engages from the front, thus the best option for an anti-armor or infantry build is frontal armor upgrade.
I think you should change the cost for the mag to have the frontal armor upgrade to be more expensive then the side upgrade. That is, if by being most expensive means the defensive stat is greater on the sides then front or top. For TR and NC, higher side armor just makes sense as they have the ability to engage targets in a 360 degrees circumference standing still with two soft openings. The armor on mag however, keeps the soft opening in the direction of the enemy. See what I mean?
Does this make sense or am I off?
BTW...I have no idea what people are talking about in regards to not being able to kill anything. I've had 20+ streaks from very far engagements. Scope much? It really depends on what gun you have and the target type.
