Limit body armor USSR

After doing some online research, I discovered that the body armor in the USSR faction was given to assault engineers.

We also have a large amount of people complaining about “soviet bias.” And it would also be extremely boring to equip every single squad with body armor, instead of picking what actually looks appealing to the user.

Subsequently, I am proposing that body armor be limited to assaulter squads and engineer squads (however not available for APC squads because I’m aware APC squads have the same customization as assaulter squads, etc).

Squads having different customization to other squads is common throughout Enlisted, so it wouldn’t hurt to rearrange what squads can equip body armor.

still would be better if we just remove the damage reduction altogether for all sides and have it all just as cosmetic

Soviets are completely dead faction anyway, I couldn’t care less about 10% dmg reduction armor.

No, Just give it to some engee squads only.

Germans have a lot of good toys, it will be good if vodka drinkers can balance it with body armor (but not for all soldiers in all squads).

… OK russian had a lot of good toys too with their ak prototype :confused: (in my opinion, the problème is here: too Many proto in hight Tier for Russian)
And proto + body armor = insame.

The problem with stalingrad that no one wants to talk about was not the Germans with the STG’s it was a Soviet equipping all their units with Fedorov and that thing is basically a step up against the STG.

If the body armor is not relevant to you then it should go and stop defending it.

And if it makes you feel any better we should both go blind together and get rid of the German damage reduction helmet as well

As a matter of principle, I just hate when someone is trying to change (in negative way) stuff for which people paid for with real money.

So no :kissing:

Body armour should effect run speed and recoil to simulate wearing a heavy and cumbersome armour.

How about going more into the extreme instead?

50% danage refuction - but disable sprinting.

Or 100% damage reduction, but only for SMGs and doesn’t effect rifle rounds?

Personally I would like to see the reduction also simply removed, because there exists no balance argument for it, but who knows, with proper risk reward added to it, Soviets could get a unique feature - that however isn’t a simple unfair advantage.

Dead faction full of bots… Why are we doing this “suggestion” again… Feels like running around in circles.

Nah. I’m just tired of whiners like you. And like adamnpee has said, I paid good money for this cosmetic, so no.

Womp womp skill issue. Not going to go over why 10% is not relevant in a game with an extremely fast TTK. Keep using the 10% as an excuse to why you lose your games. Oldest excuse in the book.

Gotta agree, Axis just got actually a pretty strong forhead assault engineers who prone can take an AVT round or two in the head and keep going.

Theyre meta, and distributed to most of the playerbase for f2p, not for paying for cosmetics.

Are we gonna nerf them now too??
Body armor existed and exists IRL; it was obviously pretty weak in WW2 (as visible by weak effect in a low TTK game) so honestly are fine. Im fine with more of these arriving for different nations (Japan esp) as they existed in limited way and started arriving in larger numbers for US towards 1945

If we ever get post war campaigns/ higher BRs these are only going to get more common. Like real life, well need a way to keep the TTK in check as more firepower becomes available in future tiers.

And that means you acknowledge as an advantage to it so that means we should either all have damage reduction body armor or no one should have it

You’re paying for cosmetic not damage reduction

every time you use that argument I’m only hearing yes we should remove the damage reduction body armour from you.

And I want that helmet gone I don’t want it in the game unless we all have Body armor with 10% damage reduction and if the Germans or Japanese finally get their own helmet and body armor 10% damage reduction everyone else should get some too.

people like you bother me, most of factions make their own body armors, I will share photos, and shut up, if soviets have, let others do it, for all or for nobody, because it’s unfair you get because you paid a 10% of protection, in where a normal thing would kill you,for that armor, you will survive, it’s unfair even if actually soviets are dead now, it goes same for japan with planes with rockets, we have in WT and for some reason DF refuse to give it to us, now, time to share the body armors for different factions
