Vehicle Plating
From The StarCraft 2 Wiki
Vehicle Plating is a defensive upgrade that is available for the Terrans that enhances the armor rating of all vehicles. Each upgrade is accumulative and automatically adds to the base armor of all units that are built from the Factory.

[edit] Affected Units
The Terrans in StarCraft II have three active units, and two canceled units, that are constructed from the Factory:
| StarCraft II Unit | Armor Bonus * |
|---|---|
| Hellion | +1 |
| Siege Tank (Tank Mode) | +1 |
| Siege Tank (Siege Mode) | +1 |
| Thor | +1 |
| Cobra ** | +1 |
| Firebat ** | ?? *** |
* The armor bonus is accumulative per each upgrade level.
** The Cobra and Firebat have been removed from the open multiplayer aspect of the game.
*** Since the Firebat was briefly moved from the Barracks to the Factory before being dropped it is unsure whether Infantry Armor or Vehicle Plating will apply.
