Realistic Armor Reloaded [LW2]
I updated it for Long War 2 (currently no vanilla version, use original mod above), the Alien Hunters DLC and it supports the Superheavy Battlesuits Mod ( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857404413 ).

= DESCRIPTION
===============================================
Have you ever wondered when you were playing why the Armor and Vests in the game would add to HitPoints and not, you know, add "Armor"?
Well, wonder no more!
The aim of this mod is to bring the body armors in the game to a more realistic scenario: Armor that acts like actual armor, i.e. Armor Mitigation.
To me, it seems like when I put on a suit of body armor, I expect it to help absorb and mitigate the projectiles coming towards me… not make me "Healthier".
As well as change the armors to be more realistic, it also changes up the late game a bit:
– With the major bonus HP removed, this should make the late game a bit more dangerous for your high ranking soldiers. While they will have much more mitigation, with the threat of the armor being shredded, and the lowered HP, it will fix the issue where your soldiers would be practically unkillable due to the massive health pools.
By default, the following armors have been changed…
Take a look here on the discussion page:

Some items keep a little bit of HP for balance reasons.
Also there are no changes to any of the Plating items.
