I see a lot of people posting on this forum as if ranking up a suit modes with XP improves the respective mode in game. Meaning someone with Rank 3 Armor has a stronger Armor mode than someone with Rank 1 Armor. From what I could tell in the demo ranking up modes simply gives you access to modules and doesnt actually improve in game suit modes directly. It seems Armor mode for example absorbs 35% of incoming damage regardless of rank.

Can anyone from Crytek confirm what ranking up a suit mode does exactly/entirely?

im not crytek, but...

I don't use armor much because it soaks up only negligible damage, NOTHING like C1, but i have noticed that the cloaking lasts much longer. This may be because i use stealth enhance, but i think mode xp does give a small bonus.

You're right, the XP simply allows you to unlock additional modules from that suit type. IE: a person who has level 3 stealth will have 3 stealth unlocks. It does not directly impact the native suit abilities.

Then how do you explain 7 or 8 modules for 15 levels of suit mode?
