The problem needs to be contained, soviet players with vitality and body armour are already annoying, if every faction had this then the problem becomes unavoidable and now the game will have lots of prototype armours which players are forced to see.

Ppl keeps mentioning discord, so I guess they might or not answer there.
Which makes much more sense, why use your own official forum to communicate when you have discord.
If they insist on having it then all factions should have it. My personal preference is that NO faction should have it since in real life all factions had it but rarely used it.

I think that it would be best if damage reduction would be kept only as a thing that would be obtainable through rewards, perks or equipped special gear rather than purchasable cosmetics, so that it wouldn’t be possible for sweatlords to have additional resistance on every soldier avaiable because why not.
Its unrealistic, but myself I would go with complete removal of body armors from cosmetic pool, and make them only obtainable in same way as “unique cosmetics” from a suggestion I made earlier:
This way it would become a small and hard to get upgrade for few of your favorite soldiers rather than an annoying balance issue, and every faction could be able to have it in some way.
Well, how should I put it… I wouldn’t say “rare.” During the entire war, the USSR produced about 300 000 SN-40A and SN-42 body armor sets.
I’ll leave this here.

Just remove the damage effect from all cosmetics, it is very simple, only one line of code.
No cosmetic should ever have an effect on gameplay.
And DON’T add armor to all nations, I ain’t trying to see some bullshit prototype crap in ts.

So about 3% of the entire soviet army, yeah rare is the right word.

I really wonder who could possibly vote “yes” on “is soviet body armor fair?”
How could it possibly be fair? Its literally a one sided benefit - the definition of unfair, I dont get this community.

Well, considering we have things like the FG (around 12,000 of ALL modifications have been made) in the hands of every Volkssturm soldier, the AC-44, the T20, and the Hyde… and the ENTIRE Japanese 5BR, it seems to me that no one is going to remove body armor from customization simply because they were relatively rare. Because of the impact on balance? Perhaps. But not because they’re unhistorical.
And all of these are in br5, quarantined away from people who don’t want to see them, customisation doesn’t have a br. So people who don’t want to see the soviet turtle army will have to because they are in every br, this will become much worse if every other nation got armour on general customisation.

Option 5 - deduct that the problem is skill issue, forget about it and equip as much body armor you can and t bag whoever you kill who has it.
Soviet bias clearly exists minus some factors so i really would just give up on anything related to trying to balance them as the devs are russian and obviously favor them.
I know keyboard warriors dont really care but the body armour is usually not worn with pouches.
In fact we can never see any easily accessible pouch on soldiers, so anyone wearing SN-42 would need to rely on others for ammo and grenades but in game, there is zero effect on carried ammo or even reload.

every German player “like myself” quitting low BR - and only playing BR5 is truly a “skill issue”
lets give German guns 20% more damage compared to other nations - because disagreeing is “skill issue”
get lost dude, I hate people like you - ignoring arguments and getting personal directly, just for the sake of being insufferable.

At times I believe the devs WANT Soviets to not play high BR, and Germans only to play high BR.
This is exactly why I think that, if body armour with effects should exist, it should take up the backpack slot.

nah i think giving them a debuff for their advantage is totally reasonable but just don’t want it as it changes what i paid for and i have come to terms and acceptance that it exists on both soviet and german side.
My response being deduct problem as skill issue was more so sarcastic but its partially true just, shoot them first… its usually what determines who wins each gunfight and yes body armor does change that a bit but not too far but i can see where people would find it a problem if every player in low BR used it.

As far as I know the mp 40 could pen the armor when below 100m to the wearer so 90% damage reduction would just be fantasy in the distances enlisted is played.

Perhaps.
But if it’s much lower body armour won’t be used.
And that’s a problem how exactly?
