Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

The Kaidan is supposed to be a replacement for the Kage in use by DEST units. It has improved stealth capabilities and much improved ground speed but reduced jump capability, just enough to clear a wall or small river, but importantly for special forces I imagine Mechanical Jump Boosters are quieter than jump jets.

I have another version that also has a Camo System but only two points of Basic Stealth armor

I have not calculated the BV2 or cost for this one so the values here are wrong. I am not really happy with the low armor but I was mainly concentrating on the RPG stats and thinking of what a special forces infiltration team might want from a Battle Armor suit.
