it depends on where it will be and what it will have to endure, in the way of punishment. If u can afford it go for titanium. Or perhaps look into hardox if you have the facilities to weld it properly otherwise 6mm steel is cheap, fairly easy to a hold of and will stand up to a lot of punishment so it may be perfect.
we currently have 3mm steel on sides/bottom/top and 6mm on the front and back, 4mm ontop of the flipper and the flipper foot is 6mm stainless. were looking into upgrading the sides and top to hardox, where do you get it from?
We Use a combination of Ali checkerplate with 8mm dyneema (mega money indestructable) as a composite on top and also underneath. There are also some bits of T10 Ti strategically placed. Armour has never been our weakness getting past the first round has :sad:
I always try to think offensive rather then defensive... Gravity 3 had 3 mm stainless steels around the back, and 4-6 mm polycarbonate on top and nothing more...
Bribes? Hmmm never thought of that We are confident that our re-designed Executioner will perform admirably for us at the world champs! (famous last words) It was performing very well in series 7 until our normally bullet proof vantec blew a FET We have now bought a better one!
