Body armor body armor body armor - can we finally get this addressed after how long now?

[Valkay]

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.

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.

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.

90% damage reduction to SMGs when hitting the Cuirass - Note: does not work if the shot lands somewhere not covered by the Cuirass, such as from the sides or from behind. Anything larger than a pistol round will also penetrate and ignore the armour.

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.

[OggeKing]

Perhaps.

But if it’s much lower body armour won’t be used.

And that’s a problem how exactly?

[Comrade_Sina]

Soviet armor effect (for TT squads) and Shin Gunto speed boost should be removed.

[GeneralBrus]

does anyone here own that Japanese Paratrooper premium squad with that gun shield? has anyone ever considered going further with this mechanic and making something interesting out of body armor?

[Myrm1don]

I dont mind USSR getting body armor in some form. I think they should have it.

But only vs pistol calibre and fragments. Straight up damage reduction vs rifle calibre has always been retarded.

Another trade off like no large ammo bag or movement speed

[BaronBrahman-live]

Maybe, but that gun shield can stop 1 bolt action round in game before it falls off, wich is pretty powerful but now imagine the shield was as big as a torso , the soviets would be like iron man.

[GeneralBrus]

Well I totally agree that this particular squad is nasty, but I am more talking about the mechanic in general.

Sov armor is a flat damage reduction - while this gun shield seems to correctly only protect where it actually is.

This seems like changing sov armor to only protect the front torso as a possibility.
