Broken Armor AC and AP bonus

[Smalec]

Greetings
I *believe* this is a bug. I have a "broken beyond repair" leather jacket that gives +1 AP. And it gives me the AC bonus still.
DT/DR is 0/0%, as it should be.

Is that a bug or no, that a fully broken armor still retains it's 'magical bonuses' and AC?

It's magic!

Maybe devs will change this, but it does not surprise me that when an armor is "broken beyond repair", that 1) you cannot repair it, 2) its armor protection value is zero, and 3) everything else about it still works, like its appearance, its weight, its crafting/dismantling formula, and its AP bonus or extra Carry Weight bonus. I think it's not a bug, but an argument could go either way.

[Perteks]

Not sure why to nerf it, its 0 resists, 1 ap or specials stats give only specific advantage.

[Seki]

Dont think it really matters but ye it would make sense if broken armor would not give "magic bonuses".
They also give crit chance and crit power reduction i guess.

[Veki]

it give "magic stats only" if you wanna risk and walk around in CAmk2 with +1ap and beyound repair, be my guest...

The only use would be for some lighter armors with +1 ST, +1AG, +1AP and + Carry Weight, and only while crafting, mining, scavenging. Not really usefull in combat.

[Seki]

Not really usefull in combat.

not exactly
can be useful if you are going to fight something that you know you will survive even without armor then you can wear it just for bonuses, did it this season when farming molerats
not like it really matters anyways 

[Mad Matt]

Yes, against molerats.
I'm afraid bulletfs from raiders, slags and players would be more dangerous
