I'm not a huge BP fan so I wont have don't know about new suits but that's how I always understood it.
the issue has never been that is can absorb some kinetic energy. i've never had a problem with that. the issue is the discrepancies among its showings and whether an adamantium claw could stab through it. we've seen the claws shred it already but somehow we're supposed to think a thrust couldn't impale panther because...it would absorb all the kinetic energy of the thrust. but not of the slash. 😐
and of course this is the old suit and not relevant anyway to what was being discussed. but clearly that old suit only absorbs small amounts of kinetic energy. it was busted up too many times to claim anything more.
