Nitro, damage to engines?

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Read on the description that it damages your engine. How exactly does Nitro work? ......................... vet wv zom Posted Oct 22, 2009, 3:58 pm

The damage is automatically and completely repaired, for free, at the end of the event. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Oct 22, 2009, 4:21 pm

No it will be permanent if you take some real engine damage during the event(even if only %1...+say 25% nitro damage = 26% damage at the end of an event). But it's ok if you never take any engine damage.  I do not know if it matters when you take the real engine damage.  Like I only know that it matter AFTER you take nitro damage, I've never take engine damage and THEN nitro damage. ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,98,31 Posted Oct 22, 2009, 5:19 pm

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Thanks, but I still dont' quite get it. So, if my engine gets damaged by 24%, and my nitro dirties it by 2%, does it mean I have to get it to a camp to repair it already? Or will it negate the extra 2% after the match? On the sidenote, anyone know what's the market rate for rocket boosters? ......................... vet wv zom Posted Oct 22, 2009, 5:27 pm Last edited Oct 22, 2009, 5:29 pm by Karz Master

Joel Autobaun Joels Bastards Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 4,598 Joined: Nov 10, 2008 Pretty sure you add them up, it's happened to me a couple times. I suspect it might be only if your engine is impact damaged(or weapons dmgd) AFTER the nitro damage. ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,98,31 Posted Oct 22, 2009, 6:06 pm

Lord Foul .-^-HellRazors-^. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Rules Council Posts: 3,543 Joined: Jan 12, 2008 Nitro should only be used on the last lap of a race or in a desperate situation. Sure it will give you a temporary boost in acceleration, but if you “dirty” your engine by (x) percentage, then you are now running with a weakened engine and could put yourself in a worse position than you were before using the nitro. Also, from testing done nitro appears useless when used at high speeds around 200mph+ If you can find and afford one, a rocket booster is a better choice. ......................... vet race1 deathrce1 wv zom circuit1 pvp1 northernsummer community circuit3 paintball55,205,126 Posted Oct 22, 2009, 11:19 pm

Joel Autobaun Joels Bastards Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 4,598 Joined: Nov 10, 2008 Best used in the first lap if you used em at all. Best used if you didn't bother to get a pole position and can easily blow past everyone whom bothered to do the qualifiers. Makes them cry. ......................... vet northernsummer deathrce1 raceL1 deathrceL1 ww ped1 sssc paintball semiprocombat ped2 e2g gwextrav gwped combat1 paintladder elmsautumn gateautumn wv race1 combatL1 pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 zom pvp3 circuit1 pvp2 circuit2 circuit3 ss2fl67 slay2013 storm2013 geek triangle198,98,31 Posted Oct 22, 2009, 11:48 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 Ok. As far as I know nitrous is allowed in pro races or pro deathraces and rocket boosters are allowed in pro deathraces but not pro races. As I said, I could have been misinformed on this or it may have been this way only at one time. I've never tried to enter a car with a rocket booster into a pro race but may have never tried it because I didn't think it was an option. There was also a rumor going around at one time that rocket boosters will damage the car behind you. I do not think that this is true, but this may have increased my belief that rocket boosters were DR-only. This I know: Rocket boosters cost more, weigh more, require more bulk, and must be used on the rear facing (if you want boost forward). Nitro boosters are cheaper, lighter, less bulky, and can be used in any weapon slot with the same effect. Their low weight means that you can equip them and not feel required to use them to make up for their weight in the car. Rocket boosters weigh enough you will need to offset their weight by using them. While they won't dirty your engine, they are more likely to damage your tires with the sudden speed burst, and also are more likely to throw your car out of control, especially if it's light. But they typically provide a bigger benefit per shot. There are a lot of pros and cons, here. Be sure that you choose your booster carefully. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Oct 23, 2009, 3:21 pm

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 Thinking of either getting a rocket boost or nitro for my Buzzer, to get me out of tight situations, since my Buzz is practically a stationary target.

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,908 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 you dont need one... you need rear facing ATGs or CCs... they work like a roket booster AND blow up the cars behind you. ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Oct 23, 2009, 4:01 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 Yeah. Even the lowly HMG does a darn good job of propelling a Buzzer along. I have one Buzzer with a rear-mounted HGG and, with it firing, it'll keep well ahead of the crowd. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Oct 23, 2009, 5:10 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 I agree with Joel on that one. Further, I've found the effectiveness of nitrous seems to go down when the weight of the car goes up. The same is true of rocket boosters, of course, but they don't seem to lose as much. Heavy cars can also control the shove that rocket boosters give much more efficiently. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Oct 23, 2009, 7:04 pm
