Hello i hope someone can explain me one thing in mechlab :
So , just above MECH STATS window and under weapon window we have 2 stats

ARMOR TYPE : and AMOUNT :

Ok i understand first but what value "AMOUNT " say ?
For example in my stalker with standard armor it says : 928
After i change armor to Ferro it says : 3569
Its 380 % basic value , can someone explain to me what those values mean and how it is connected with ferro armor ?
Little confuse here i read a lot about how ferro dont really increase your armor amount or surv so what that stat mean ?

All fero should do is make your armor slightly lighter, it does not add any extra armor, I am now loading MWO, I will check and edit this post if I discover what is going on.

I checked on my 3 Stalkers, a 3F, 3FB, and a Misery.
Changing armor type from standard to fero and back did not change the available or equiped number of armor points, which is what I would expect.

Also a Stalker should only have 526 armor, I am not sure how you got 928, you can get maybe 15% extra from skill tree but that should not take you much past 600 total armor

I am not sure what happened for you with your Stalker and I cannot replicate it, sorry.

Those types of problems are usually best tracked with screenshots or video, especially if you think you found a bug

That is the ammount of fero armor you have in your "warehouse", as in not currently fitted to any Mech. that is just the ammount you can fit before buying any more.

See the yellow circle in the linked picture for where the Mechs current total armor value is listed, it is under "Mech Stats"
