Well it comes off as very pretentious when you show no information to back up your claim. I understand how the leveling works, however in my tests in the vault, wearing my 31 gave me no increase in defense over my vault gear.
Likewise, I have old and new versions of weapons that did not appear do any difference in damage.
I'd also not give up the perks as well.
Please don't be a pretentious asshole, with the phrase "wish people did research" when you present no research yourself. Mmmmk?

You don't "present" research you present results, and just cause you do not imidiately notice it does not mean it's not there, like I said the difference is much less than the 25% for being under the cap, but it is thier if you take your same gun and swap from lvl 30 to 31 you will see a damage increase, also if you watch your health carefully you can see the defense difference
