Not really necessary

While I appreciate the effort, I don't think this infobox is necessary for the wiki's armour permutation articles. For the most part, the reason is essentially because of the short-length nature of the articles themselves: compared to those with quite a history (such as the Mk V and ODST), most of the armour articles are very short. The short-length nature of these articles, contrary to what users might consider to be stubbed and/or requires expansion, is already helpful to the articles' presentation in such a manner that everything known about the armour permutation is already available to readers. To introduce the infobox to an article that has already provided short, concise information does not enhance or assist the readers in presenting a good summary; rather, what it does is introducing repeated information in a redundant manner (a good example would be the first article to ever use this infobox).

It should be reminded that infoboxes are not necessary for every wiki article; it is necessary only to assist readers to identify key information at a glace. This infobox, in my opinion, does not fulfill that purpose. I don't it is necessary to be implemented in articles. — subtank 15:37, 21 June 2014 (EDT)
