They did "remember" the weakness, Detron Crewmen do deal extra damage to warframe health. And it's a good thing that we need to consider the enemies' damage types when speccing our warframe loadout for a certain faction, adds more depth to the game. I wouldn't like it if warframe armor wasn't affected by damage type modifiers.

To 195.211.79.82: You are wrong, warframes have Alloy armor. So yes, there is +75% damage from Radiation and 75% armor mitigation on top of that.

As 88.150.25.185 pointed out, Radiation gets a -25% penalty from our shields. The trick with these guys is to fight them with intact shields and avoid taking their Detron shots with shields down at all cost. Warframes with high base shields shine here, Redirection is a must-have, Steel Fiber is practically useless, and Diamond Skin is a really viable option, as the 45% resistance also applies to shields, unlike armor.
