I'll never understand why people wanna LOWER the X series power armors protection levels. Even in fallout 3 the Brotherhood were worried if their ammunition could even hurt it, and that was the X-02 variant that was supposedly built using weaker materials than those used on the X-01 variant. In Fallout 2 the Adv PA was the best armor in the game, with the Enclave considering the T51b, which was the pinnacle of power armor developed prewar, to be so weak compared to the Adv PA that it was reduced to being used in training and warehouse work rather than combat operations.
In fo3 the armor was weaker than T-51b it's basically been retconned to be worse than X-01 in defense but much lighter weight, better rad resistance and overall better in everyway except defense
"I know! So annoying! I keep looking for mods to make the X0-2 and Hellfire CC and Nexus Power Armor much stronger to match the lore."
Don't get me wrong, but that's one of the easiest things you can change in modding. It's easy to the point of opening the .ESP of the armor you want to change it's stats in FO4Edit, searching for them and literally changing a value. I made this mod so that the X-02 Power Armor was 'patched' seamlessly with the changes that CPAR made to Power Armor principally because Power Armor in Fallout 4 is unbalanced because of how strong it is and how widely available it is in-game. Again: if you don't like what this mod does, don't use it.
I can't really remember since I haven't gotten the X-01 yet, but you can compare the stats with Classic Power Armor Rebalance (which this mod was made to be used with)
