Ceramic armour

Ceramic armor was an aircraft upgrade exclusive to Zone Operations Command.

Background
Realizing the inherent danger of troop transport into Red Zones, the ZOCOM subfaction of GDI has developed a proprietary ceramic compound that, when bonded to a heavy metal backing material, provides a significant increase in damage absorption for all ZOCOM aircraft.

In-game
All ZOCOM Orcas, Hammerheads and Firehawks outfitted with this upgrade permanently reduce damage from all damage sources by 25%: equivalent to a 33% increase to overall health.

Changelog

 * Kane's Wrath patch 1.02: resistance bonus versus gun- and cannon-type damage decreased by 50% for the ZOCOM Orca
