dont we have already counterparts with different types of armor ? imo such thing is interesting but not needed becoz we have cmbt armors with good average resistances except electro , metal armor for more average resistance for some maluses plus its weakness against fire and electro than we have leather armor which is weak against plasma and lazers but very effective against electro plus fireleather which has high resistance of explode and fire dmg plus electro but again is weak against lazers and a bit weaker against normal dmg than cmbt armor , i think all in all we have good variation with armor traits and such things .
I would rather see a combat stealth armor ingame becoz i still think sneakers are a bit weak in leathercoat and it really hasnt any stats near a combat armor while its traits are fine
plus i think such system would negate the need of various armor classes in general , so for me its a no
I also think that something should be done to PA because the problem i see why nobody uses it in battle is simple its because its weak nowadays , lasergatling and some other new meta weapons do crazy damage to it . i think thats why most people are not interested in taking their pas to the battlefield , while i think that lasergatling is fine i dunno how to fix that issue because i know its comming from the weapon perks and if u buff laser DT DR from pa again u have 0 dmg from other lazer weapons to it so i think its a bit problematic ... because its not like smalltime said that people dont use it because its something rare and that making it buyable will solve that problem ... maybe give it some anti lasergat trait i dunno
the plasma spear does crazy damage to it too 45 ap does nearly the dmg from a rocketlauncher , before that meta it was all fine some hth weapons did crazy damage which was only in close range , rad rifle did good damage for its ap cost and rocketlauncher did the best damage with the right ap use to it in comparison to other damages but now u have lasergatling which outdamage them in terms of dps plus that crazy plasma spear which does nearly same dmg as the rocketlauncher to it with very less ap than RL ...
