sure it won't stop the good shells, but removing it will stop none and will not change performance...

I've had it stop shells before so I appreciate the fact it exists.

Not sure why you're clamoring for a loss of a benefit for seemingly no reason.

The add-on cage armour adds a considerable weight to the vehicle, so you could increase its acceleration and overall drive characteristics by removing it. It's not like it works consistently against ammunition it should be able to stop (overpreassure also made it useless), so why not have the option to remove it?

even still, the striker is a LAV, and sadly the LAV isn't and wasn't a very fast vehicle, and its got a massive gun on it, so i think have the option of removing it is there.... but imo i don't think it would change much performance wise.
