Johnnybravo:
AC modifies more than chance to hit your bullets. Like you know, you can definitely dodge a punch or a kick.

gr1m055:
Well it seems you can do this, you either go all out damage resistance perks and take less damage standing still, or dodging perks if you want a person to have less of a chance to hit you as you run.

There are trade offs you could do a all out dodger / max damage resistance but you have no health, or you can do all health and some dodging and some damage resistance but no damage or criticals. I would see AC perks being useful for snipers who need to run back and not get hit to get in max change or melee. I think it all boils down to what you prefer and this well take some time when this next session starts to figure out what you are comfortable with.

You hate being crippled you go anti-cripple perks you want to go full on damage you take BRD / More crit. Want to burst wice you sacrfice either health or damage resistance. It should be an interesting blend next session.

Well i'm training HtH combat myself in RL (also ASG and simmilar stuff) so i have learned this:
1 If you are not dodging on purpose but out of fear/instinct are half a step from being a dead meat... (melee/unarmed combat rather than gunfight)

2 it's easier to hit moving target (from a gun- at mid+ distance) if he/she runs away in straight line than for example making some rolling, hitting the ground, crouching etc

Of course it is impossible to dodge a bullet! BUT you are not dodging the bullet but apparent gun's barrel trajectory (it's hard as hell and nigh impossible yet with proper training...). When bursting if a first bullet hits you - it's all over i admit but if it wont, you get a chance for dodging it before spray reaches you...

Shonsu:
Why does RL keep coming up in these convo's?  In RL do you get hit with a rocket and get back up again?

Solar:
Then have the game mechanics reason.

AC needs to be high to be useful. If there is high AC when standing then its only useful for snipers kiting.

I wanted AC. To be used for getting into range to help all lower range weapons - so it became AC when running only.

That it also makes sense in RL is just a happy coincidence
