reported REQUEST: SA-6 Armor revision.

[Tom P]

I posted this in the bug section on the discord with video as well. 
The SA-6 armor has been questionable for a long time against anything below a 30mm round. 
Some examples:
- 20mm: F-16, F/A-18
- 25mm: Bradley, LAV

I got sick of this and finally did some testing to prove it. I had 2 bradleys set up as the control. The SA-6 Search Radar or Launcher within 4,500feet you can destroy. Past 4,500ft they are pretty much invincible and have a weird hitbox so it looks like a "force field"
Ran this same test with a 30mm from the BMPT and was able to destroy the above mentioned SA-6 units within the first burst.

I then set up 4 bradleys firing at a single SA-6 unit above 4,500ft and they did not damage the SA-6 unit from the front, side, or rear. 

So in conclusion a unit engaging an SA-6 with something smaller then 30mm needs to be within 4,500ft to destroy it. Bradleys, LAVs, Any aircraft with a 20mm cannon doing a strafe.

P.S .50cal can penetrate the SA-6. So a 25mm APFSDS would go through it like hot butter. Also 4,500ft is 1,372 meters which is nothing for anything above a .50. Also SA-6 doesn't really have an armor rating, I played with one while I was in Poland. Super thin "armor"

K I gave you the proof. Now fix it.
