Adding armor to the slot of backpack

Suggestions

for the people who don’t know, in the closed beta or something (can’t remember) there was a slot for a backpack and a slot for armor that was blocked. I think the slot for a backpack should be changed to backpack/armor and the armor should in my opinion give you 60 health normally and 20 when downed (medkits will still heal only 3 or 4 health) but it should slow you down by 40 or 50 percent and if it has a mask it should make your head slightly protected and should limit your vision like irl. There could be a special class that can have that armor and there also can be lighter armors as well.
Thoughts?

i don’t know since the armor back then wasn’t enough to stop a rifle round, so maybe a resistance to around 10% so that way it’s effective against smgs and pistols while rifles won’t have any issues

The most reasons to avoid that technology… so far as possible.
High caliber like the 7,62 mm can penetrate easly that 2mm steel plates and create additional shrapnel, also in distance under 100 Meter a 9mm can penetrate that Soviet Armour.

2MM of steel is not gonna save you from a high powered rifle round. And giving soldiers tanky health is a HORRIBLE thing to add. Absolutely Not.

That was only there because of the plan to add this for Berlin campaign, as that was realistically where it was used most.

Some units get it now, but it doesn’t really add much health, it’ll maybe cause pistol calibre rounds to need one or two extra shots.
But 60 health is far too much.

i don´t think we need tankier soldiers. imagine 35% vitality + armor. you gonna have some robocops walking around. Maybe put especial damage armors? Like, Flame protection that you could equip to flamers and armor vs explosion? maybe? i don´t know

Also the Soviet Armor was used @ moscow, but useless and to heavy on open field.
Germany stop using plate armour after WW1.
Cant imagin that someone would use a plate that make u slow and vulnerability for any combat rifles, and only can safe u from a 9mm bullet on above 100 meters.

Better gajin dont waste time on it. People will cry when they use it and dont safe them from anything.

Better use a big backpack and 75% faster medpack use. Then u can stand up 4 times when u dont get a headshot.
