Forum:T51 b armour looks outdated compared to T45 d??

this is purely opinion, but the T45 armour looks more advanced in almost any way. The T51 model has bigger rivets, chunky single plate layers and leather straps holdin pieces on, not to mention the lack of any armour across the stomach and a lower str buff, unlike the T45 which has lapped plates and more str. dont know if this sujects been brought up but felt id throw it out there.

SergeantDornan:Hmmm. I never really looked at the t45 vs the T51b Power Armor. I ought to really look at it next time I'm playing my Paladin character. That said, there could be a good reason for that. Consider that the heavier clunkiness is a sign that the armor is thicker, and more sturdy. The thinner Torso area allows more agility, hence the lower AG penalty for wearing it (I'm pretty sure the T51 has a lower AG penalty, but I'd have to check to be sure). Also the helmet is thicker and more heavily armored, which suggests that it can take more punishment. So, it may **look** more outdated than the T45, but that ugliness actually has (in theory) a function.

That, or it's just plain Effing ugliness, who knows LOL. That's just my theory as to an explanation. SergeantDornan22:02, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
