Hey gals and guys,
While I was browsing this hugely interesting http://www.englishrussia.com site, I stumbled upon an interesting article/story about a russian made exoskeleton, which provides the operator to carry 70-100kg of equipment with ease. A load of 60 kilograms will feel like 10 kilograms.
Here's the article:

For JA2, this could be somehow mergable with the torso armor for example, and give boost to carry capacity (50-100%) and then give a small nerf to movement to make it somewhat fair.

Of course it is your choice, but I think there's a lot of sci-fi stuff alreadyin the game, so I do not see why this would make such a big difference. Personally I'd rather not have all that new current era crap. I see why people added that, but don't expect me to add stuff I really don't want
As far as difference goes... this would make the STR stat useless, as it would be used on every merc. If you add AP penalties, people will simply use it to carry a metric ton of gear and drop this suit once they enter combat. At that point, they will also ask for a hotkey to auto-unequip/equip it, just like combat packs.

My opinion on this if a feature is balanced and not batshit crazy it should be included (probably with sci-fi tag) considering we have rocket rifles, healing chems, AET ammo and aliens.
