Realistic Armor

=====================================================
= DESCRIPTION
=====================================================

NOTE: Shortened the 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, I am hoping this mod will provide 2 additional fixes to the game...

- With the bonus armor mitigation on kevlar armor, make the early game for your soldiers a bit more forgiving

- With the major bonus HP removed, this should make the late game a bit more dangerous for your colonal level 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...

Kevlar Armor
- Gives +1 Armor mitigation

Predator Armor
- Gives +2 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

Spider Suit Armor
- Gives +1 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

E.X.O. Suit
- Gives +3 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

Warden Armor
- Gives +3 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

Wraith Suit Armor
- Gives +2 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

W.A.R. Suit Armor
- Gives +4 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

Plated Vest Item
- Gives +2 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP

All Other Vests
- Gives +1 Armor mitigation
- Removed the bonus HP
