ESAPI plates break too easily

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

ESAPI plates can currently be easily compromised by thrown rocks or zombie fists. While it's not inconceivable that an impact would damage a plate, the plates are a lot sturdier than the game depicts. They are dropped from a decent height onto a concrete floor when they're manufactured to ensure that they can withstand a soldier dropping prone or slipping and falling without losing protection, and anecdotally, soldiers online report getting into all kinds of scrapes without needing to replace their armor.

Solution you would like.

It should be pretty rare that anything short of a brute slam or gunshot damages a plate. Plates could also stand to have more granular damage, a hairline crack isn't going to have the same effect as a full shattering.
