I don't mean to literally dodge a bullet. What I meant by dodge is to hide, jump into a dug hole or just get behind a wall. With heavy armored version, you’ll lose the agility and speed factor. Since heavy armor tend to be more bulky and taking more size than usual men or foot solider, you’ll probably slower to react and less able to hide.
Mobility is really crucial on all warfare, if someone launch an anti-tank rocket you’ll be better protected behind some wall than just standing and taking the hit. Also you can’t get into any standard vehicle and you’re way too noticeable to escape from view.
Well, you probably were thinking of Star Craft Marine. But that was build around the all environment (outer space) combat suit. I believed they could make simple, smaller and better armor if it's just for earth purpose since the armor is too bulky. Imagine a Marine unit fighting an urban warfare over Baghdad, they can run but they can’t hide.
In my opinion, one can’t be immune from all attacks. Even a MS or MA can be damaged by some type of weapons.
