Strategy
Heavy Coating offers 10% more hit points than an Armor Plate, at the cost of 10% speed.

Speed is considered a more valuable stat than health, so a Heavy Coating is less effective overall than Armor Plate, just as Heavy Barrel is compared to Bullet.

Heavy Coating is best reserved for tanks that absolutely need as much staying power as they can get and don't mind losing mobility.
