Armor is a simple statistic value that determines whether or not a weapon can do damage to a particular vehicle or structure. Armor is absolute and there are no hit reduction percentages, if a weapon can defeat a certain armor then it does full damage on hit. If it does not, then no damage is done and the vehicle is immune to the weapon. This is important because along with higher health values, the heavier vehicles are immune to many lower end weapons and must be hit with sparser higher tier weapons making them very effective for leading pushes and assaults. Infantry will always have an armor level of zero.
Armor is not to be confused with hit-points.
