Explosives for EW will be kind of strong since people wear Combat armor 95% of the time they go PvP. That would be an interesting feature though for energy weapons. Someone suggested plasma rockets for the RL before
I guess it makes lore-sense to have plasma explosive variant for rockets and GL, and 95% of people wearing CA 95% of the time indicates to me that a change might inspire a lowering in that general percentage. But is plasma rockets/GL rounds enough to stop people using CA? Gat lasers seem much worse in theory and that doesn't inspire a lot of tesla users.
No, it's meant to add new armors to the game. And so what if it doesn't make lore sense, it's a damn game. Also nobody uses Tesla because people have 180+ of each weapon skill and can easily switch to a normal/explosive damage.
