We already have Hull, we just don't see it. When we are bleeding out we have taken Hull damage (so our suits are nonresponsive) and when we die instantly its because the damage we took was more than our total Hull HP.
Thats why a grenade at your feet will insta-kill you while one a few meters away will put you in bleed out mode. Also why a sniper usually just puts you in bleed out, but if you had low armor will insta-kill you.
Vehicles work the same way. It's just that most AV weapons do enough damage to destroy the remaining armor and Hull in the last shot. But, vehicles that are at 0 armor but have some Hull HP left cannot move but their turrets can still fire. It's rare, but happens. |

It's rare, but happens. that is not true at all there is nothing showing hull or saying hull even exist at this point. There are simply objects with tank and shield and no real indication that these objects even exist. Wait, so since you can't see it on the HUD it doesn't exist? Hull already exists, and has been talked about before, a long time ago. As I said, it is an invisible stat on our suits / vehicles that controls if we instantly die or go into bleedout (for suits) and (for vehicles) if it instantly explodes or is just rendered immobile until Armor burnout finishes it off. Go do some testing, it is there.
Now, if your asking to see it on the HUD, or increase it with Mods / Skills then awesome, no arguments here. But to say it doesn't exist, when it does (per my previous examples and many people's testing) is just plain wrong. |
