Yeah, makes sense for vehicles that already have armour. It'd be more effort
and probably more costly though. It'd also be a bit more difficult for
vehicles that didn't have armour to begin with too.

Modify your vehicle as per the RBB, do everything as per the RBB, then just
take the armour rating and triple it. So, no, the speed reduction isn't
tripled.
