No, the aluminum has to me thick, so you aren't saving anything. The Tungsten Carbide is the 2nd heaviest armor out there. There is two new no metal armor with the new plastic shield with Reinforced byTitanium to help keep hull shape. The mass is cut to less then 25% and less then half the thickness.
