The latest Japanese premium squad features body armor that looks aesthetically very pleasing.
Japan should have the option to distribute this to more classes instead of a rider premium that nobody is going to buy, so they can have more parity with the USSR faction.
Cosmetic options in general should not be limited to premium or event squads.
But at the same time cosmetics should not have effects either, body armour damage reduction has to be removed.
As long as the USSR gets to enjoy free 10% damage reduction on nearly every class, even the damn guerillas, I will continue to advocate for body armor for the other factions for the sake of equality
in general for some stupid company reasons I assume lack of proper customization, I won’t say it’s historically wrong, because some uniforms are like the game show, but we are missing lot of pieces still…
Paras dont get armor tho - they already get extra Vitality which is pretty much the same as 10% damage reduction.
As such, every nation already effectively has body armor, but only their Paratroopers - which kinda sucks considering only Soviets get to use custom loadouts.
Why ruin all immersion to add dumb ass body armour for all when we can solve the problem by removing SU body armour? (Except for the assault engineer boys of course)
