BOS Power armors - any actual difference?
I've been looking at the wiki, and it doesn't show the various BOS power armors as being any different. It just has stats for T-60 and nothing separate for the BOS variants. Is there actually any difference between BOS II T-60 armor and BOS V T-60 armor?

The numeral indicates the tier of armor, which affects its defensive stats and hitpoints. Goes all way up to VI/Mk. 6/F. The BOS has its own unique paintjobs (based on rank) that also affect stats (gives a boost to Strength), but other than that, it is identical to any other set of T-60 (save for any Unique pieces that have a Legendary affect). Fully upgraded, it's the second strongest suit of Power Armor in the game, just a bit below the X-01 (when also fully upgraded to Mk. 6).

The PA sets are faction specific in ways that make sense.

The Minutemen are militarily weakest, so they get T-45. Their paint job boosts Charisma. Makes sense - they persuade.

The Railroad get T-51. Their paint job boosts Perception. Makes sense - they use intelligence gathering to judge how to operate.

The BoS get T-60. Their paint job boosts Strength. Makes sense - they are a powerful, military force.

The Institute is technologically advanced so they get the high-tech X-01 PA. Their paint job boosts Intelligence. Makes sense - they have a lot of scientists.

The T-60 PA might not be different to (EDIT BoS) models, but the way each faction is apportioned a specific model, and a specific boost from their, respective paint jobs, has been well thought out.
