Explosion Resistance

[yosh56]

Sheesh, I could keep this forum alive by my damn self at this rate.

This is more of something I noticed and mostly just wanted to ask about, but are there any plans to use Renegade's explosion resistant armours for infantry? I had mentioned it in a topic about mines, but I think it's worth blatantly bringing up in a topic of its own.

For those unaware, the Nod FlameThrower and Chem Trooper had 50% damage reduction to explosions. I personally think this is a system that could have gone further and been better suited to other infantry as well, but I'm more concerned with whether or not there are any plans to implement the special armour again (And maybe not even JUST on those two infantry)?

I didnt know this fact, perhaps flame troopers are the best mine-runners then?

Direct hits (from shells, C4 attached to them) weren't reduced, just AoE

Indeed, I was just referring to the splash damage anyway. I remember the GDI Shotgunners also having an explosion resistance for some reason, but that's just something someone said and I don't know for a fact.

Also, the fact that their armour blocked more damage than their health is an interesting concept. Should think about having armour be more a part of the game than just the same as health and bypassed by only Tiberium weaponry.
