Armor weights

<< < (2/2)

That's right, I went on reading about the topic and it seems that the whole equipment of modern infantry soldiers will average around 80 - 120 pounds (36 - 55kg) depending on mission, and that's carrying water, food, camping equipment, spare boots, possibly a radio and even spare ammo for the mortar or machinegun teams to be dropped when moving into positions.

Maybe ounces then? Not likely as the UFOpaedia states it is heavier than older suites so I'm thinking those are purely arbitrary values.

Kildor:
This feature is not implemented yet at all.

DarkRain:
I know, I asked (originally in the artwork board) cause I thought it would be nice to have a figure...

But discusing it has given me the urge to have a look at it myself

DarkRain:
Just to let you know that I've taken a shot at this in this topic I'd apreciate your comments
