It won't matter.
Unless you plan to dedicate 24+ points to your arse, no amount of rear armor is going to really change that particular outcome. If you do rear-load the armor that much, you only handicap yourself from the front.
Yep. This is why you strip rear armor. There's no point in having it; if you're getting shot in the back, you already dun goofed and a few more points isn't going to save you.
I've got an alt account with a semi-troll SupportFox build; 2 AMS, ECM, NARC and 2 Heavy Large Lasers. Had a round where the last enemy was AFK at the dropzone.
Those two HLLs to the rear CT put him in cherry red internals. Next shot would kill him no matter how much armor he put back there, unless he did something absurd like loading over 50 points on the back.
