I sometimes use em armor on troops. I don't know exactly how the computer calculates ground combat results (would be interesting to find out though) but in theory ground combat should involve a barrage of seperate, low damage attacks (instead of one big bLast), so em armor should help out. On the other hand, if the millions of defenders on the ground get their attacks grouped together into a single shot like stacked fighters do, the em armor ain't worth much. Any of you elite SEIV players out there know how the ground combat really is calculated?
