Just looking for a general idea on how to distribute Armor points and also how to change grades.

I understand that the point of your vehicle that's going to be facing your enemy is where you'd ideally want most of your points, but what would be a general rule to follow when re-armoring up a chassis? Too much weight effects maneuverability, but how much is too much?

Also how do you change armor grades? I looked all around my car menus and couldn't find an option. I get B is the best middle of the road, but I'd like to know for the future in case I want to run a car with A armor for speed.

To change armor from B to A (or such), you need to remove all the armor (set to 0). Then go to the general information page on the car, and you can pick a new grade of armor there.

For a scout car, I use all the armor available. Max armor on main weapon side(s). Don't leave the top and bottom light.

For a travel car, A armor, 1 weapon, biggest engine possible...maybe 75% of armor, just in case of a bad ambush.

Send a personal messsage to *goat starer*

I go full armour on travel cars if they are a armoured. Lighter if they are b unless they are an especially quick chassis.
