The delay in itself is a good idea but it being shared with every command leads to unnecessary delays leading to failed actions (if you've ever lead a squad as an engineer you know what I'm talking about).

Although Absorbant has 2 advantages over Budget/Plain armor.
1: Absorbant does not take any bio DOT.
2: Absorbant cools your engine when you are taking damage.

Basically, if we can't come up with a new type of armor for budget armor to fit in, I'll remove budget armor and drop Absorbant's cost to 4, AKA the same value as Budget...

You know where you get a guy in like the 2nd seat of an apc and when you move the turret the guy spins making it hard for him to hit anything.
This applying to any vech with a turret seat.

Is this somthing that can be fixed?
If so.
