i still play big action it pretty good tbh
Screeching that both sides get the same thing = germany suffers is mega big brained
Especially when the German one is more or less immune to headshots lmfao
Thanks to @Rickyd123 for bringing that to our attention

Itās only 6 people you have to worry about but when you look at the Soviet faction you can give them almost all body armor except for the medic squad or pilots or tankers

I never notice a difference with Soviet body armor when Iām playing Germany so I honestly doubt its a big deal
But I remember the screeching when the Mkb had its damage reduced by .2 and there were dozens of posts fucking screaming about it and on discord too
In the near future and with a combination of other things I think you should be concerned when it comes to body armor and especially when it comes to Asian death stacks.
keep in mind 10% of 13 of lmg class is 1.3 which still crosses the 10 to down threshold of people not using a crutch perk while 83% of 46 headshot damage from a bolt action is 8 total damage

well the headshot armor is useful without a doubt - however personally I am not using this squad, my main reason to play with engineers is rather specific, they get the āprone movement speed boostā as a default perk. The Assault engineers squad doesnāt get that bonus, so its no good for me.
Donāt know what you can do with that information, but yeah guess I am weird.

yes there are many noobs, but when players have reached BR3, most of their soldiers will have vitality by that point, so your 10 dmg threshold should absolutely be 13.5.
Funnily enough MGs are not influenced by body armor at all, because they never down/kill in one shot anyways, so a 10% reduction of damage from armor doesnt change the bullets to kill.
Still FG42 turn from a one hit kill/one hit down into now needing two bullets, which wouldnāt be a problem if FGs dealt the same damage as T20 rifles. Body armor is much more effective than you guys like to admit.
Exept it is notā¦
It uses the K51 L24 which is a heaviely nerfed version of that gun with 5 seconds reload instead of 3.3 seconds.

āThe main gun of the Sd.Kfz.251/9 is the same howitzer that you will find on all Pz.IVs found before the F2 model.ā

But not ingame because DF said so.
does it even matter? you use it for your HE, well one could argue that having āsomeā AT capability can still be very powerful - in the end you can take out other troop transporters and even a hellcat with its non existent armor, but in reality you move your APC to a good spawning location and never use the gun anyways.
My issue, Iām not sure if I am correct, but it seems that german equipment has much higher recoil than the soviet gear. Like, I grab a soviet submachinegun, and it recoils much less than any home faction equivalent in the tech tree.
I should probably try to compare things at the practice range.

Why do you think I call vitality a crutch perk

sad how they said its not happening ;( (i think james_grove said it in one of the news comment sections)
i hope they change their mind.
I doubt that very much as even as a veteran Iām still leveling guys up and barely remembering to do perks at all
And the vast majority of the playerbase doesnāt min/max to begin with meaning youāll run into perked out juiced giga nibbas even less often

I dont know, even back in CBT i tried as fast as possible to get my soldiers running with vitality, it has always been obvious to me how important that perk is, I canāt imagine people not trying to max that perk out.
