Emissive armour - what is it used for?

[Grognard]

Just did a test in the simulator.

36 planes with two DUC III's, 30 damage combined per plane, quit attacking the emissive armored ship once they reached the emissive armor.

36 planes equipped with four DUC III's, 60 damage combined per plane, totally destroyed the emissive-armor equipped ship in two volleys.

In conclusion, at least in the simulator, the game is comparing the damage resistance of 30 with the damage inflicted per plane.

Editted: Forget what I just said. The above results used auto-combat in the simulator. When I tried it using manual combat, the planes with 30 damage apiece destroyed the ship. So with differing results between auto- and manual control, nothing conclusive can be determined. My only conclusion is the lack of consistency brings the validity of any simulator results into question
