Composite Armor - TinyModularThings/IC2Classic GitHub Wiki
Composite Armor combines aspects of three different materials.
- Leather Armor, which protects you better against blasts, because of its flexibility.
- Iron Armor, for the general metal armor protection.
- Reinforced Alloy, which improves the armor strength and durability
This mix of aspects creates the best non electric early game armor you can get in IC2C.
It has a better damage absorption then Diamond Armor (96% absorption vs 80%)
and it has almost double the amount of the durability of Diamond Armor.
So its a good improvement on Armors if you haven't got to EU yet which allows you to have a nice protection.
On top of that you can enchant it so that it absorbs 100% of the damage. But like every non electrical armor, it doesn't last forever.
