Nah, power armor encourages a move up to 20mm autocanno fire, and using 40mm HEAT against to smallest units.
>The cost of fielding AP ammo vs the cost of armor would make it essentially useless
Depends on armor strength. For example your picture. Lowests end of Space Marine Armor puts at vulnerable to standard HE Bolter fire. Which is silly. Highest end of bog standard(where did that term come from? whatever) puts it at resistant against explosives significantly more powerful, with the thickest bits resistant against RPG7 and 100mm recoiless rifles and only the most vulnerable parts vulnerable to 20mm AP.
But even just all around resistance to 20mm API means something very fucking relevant, it means extreme resistance to FRAGMENTATION damage. When you are forced to use RPG7 and above in the direct fire context against an enemy soldier to guarantee a casualty, not a kill, a casualty, then that soldier is likely IMMUNE to area of effect fragmentation and indirect high explosive fire from anything smaller than 155mm artillery. They might even survive being thrown around by it from a close boom.
So even if if the armor in question is only all around immune to 7.62x54r API, that also by default increases survivability against explosives.Immunity to .50cal straight up means you can ignore frag grenades tossed into your immediate area.

>fucking AT rifle to the battlefield already means winning.
Heavy Machine Guns and anti tank weaponry is already standard fare for insurgencies, along with bigass IEDs. Thanks, Soviet Russia.
>have the world taken away from you by some group of idiots who don't know how to run it.
Because you did so well.
>Seeing as one good air strike
Artillery strike or IED would be more like. Also if anything, Crysis downplayed how devastating the suit's capabilities would be in several respects. And downplayed what all such a suit would or could do.
Also, at a billion dollars that puts into the realm of the B2 Spirits…25 years later, F35's have radar signatures 99% as small. But since Crysis decided to copy Halo and a few other scifis, with a 3rd faction of doom, and copy Resistance:Fall of Man by making that 3rd faction so outrageously powerful that it is simply unbeleivable for them to be beaten, we didn't get to see anything neat after the 1st game.
We need badass power supplies. Either generators or capacitors. Pick one. Crysis could work, if it absorbed energy for literally any electrical source without giving a damn.
Nah, collapsible compact hand trucks with offroad wheels would do wonders. As would, um, 6x6 wheeled mules. And not doing patrols like its fucking Vietnam, what the fuck.
