'''Example:''' if the unit's {{tt|Strength}} is 1000, and each hit deals 100 base damage, it would take 16 hits to destroy the unit (assuming {{tt|VeteranArmor{{Equal}}1.5}}).

The above table would make you believe that, when turned Elite, an Apocalypse has a thousand hitpoints more of max health than as a rookie. That is not the case.

: '''100 / 1.5 = 66.666666. ''Decimals are dropped.'' 66 * 16 = 1056.'''

Rules' comments on this issue are clear: <blockquote> "For armor, think of it as max strength being multiplied by the number (in reality, damage is divided by this"</blockquote>

−
Meaning that, in reality, if a veteran Apo is being fired upon by a <tt>Damage=100</tt> weapon with 100% [[verses]], he does not have 1200 hitpoints and loses 100 with every hit, but in fact still has only 800 hitpoints, but only takes 66.6 damage with every hit.<br>

The speed of death, in both cases, would be the same: 12 shots. That's why we're told to think of it as a multiplier. The difference is, for example, that it takes less time to heal 800 hitpoints than 1200 (and costs less), meaning the unit is back at full health earlier.

This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities. VeteranArmor divides received damage by the specified factor for units that benefit from the STRONGER promotional bonus. Contrary to popular belief, these bonuses do not stack, meaning that a STRONGER elite bonus will not further increase the armor of a unit with a STRONGER veteran bonus.

Example: if the unit's Strength is 1000, and each hit deals 100 base damage, it would take 16 hits to destroy the unit (assuming VeteranArmor=1.5).

100 / 1.5 = 66.666666. Decimals are dropped. 66 * 16 = 1056.
