	~~Without armor~~, ~~nearly every hit will~~ be ~~fatal; with personal armour~~, ~~there's at least a chance~~ of ~~the soldier remaining unscathed, or~~ being ~~hospitalized only for days, rather than weeks or months~~. ~~It can be researched quickly~~, ~~is inexpensive~~, ~~fast to produce~~, and ~~much better than nothing~~. ~~It is worthwhile to hand these out even if~~ you ~~expect them~~ to be ~~obsolete within~~ a ~~month~~.		Tactically, Personal Armour can be useful, as it gives soldiers slightly better chances of surviving being shot. However, from a bean-counter's point of view, it's not very efficient, as alien plasma weapons will frequently kill your soldiers despite the armour and the (expensive) armour suit is then lost along with the soldier. If you're expecting a mission to be very difficult (e.g. Sectoid [[Terror Mission]]), it may be worth bringing a few suits of Personal Armour along; otherwise, your wallet will thank you for your callousness in sending soldiers into battle without armour.

	This armor is used in ''[[X-COM\|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. In ''[[TFTD\|Terror from the Deep]]'', the [[Plastic Aqua Armor]] is the equivalent.		This armor is used in ''[[X-COM\|UFO: Enemy Unknown]]''. In ''[[TFTD\|Terror from the Deep]]'', the [[Plastic Aqua Armor]] is the equivalent.
