The body armor protection should be removed.
Nothing breaks the game balance like this.
Just think: any Japanese or German semi-automatic rifle at 2-3 BR requires two shots instead of one, even at point-blank range (!), due to the body armor.
Absolutely broken.
Yes clearly the nation with best equipment at the bare minimum 3/5 if not 4/5 battle ratings has no strengths.
It’s not even about Russia. It’s about a cosmetic affecting gameplay. It being on the strongest nation is just the cherry on top
I play all factions and never once have blamed body armour for me losing a gun fight. Tbh i couldn’t care less if the devs removed it but seeing every community post flooded with you all crying about it has gotten very old very fast. Just give it a rest already.
@ImpostorWhenSUS , when you have to create a topic about this problem for the third time (after the Soviet trolls have done everything possible to close this one), I advise you to make the poll only two options.
Please do not confuse the game and real life. Real life is about supply, strategy, cunning, and more. Enlisted is an arcade shooter game, and it must have balance. If you want an asymmetric balance, then why did you add a t-20 Automatic Rifle to the game? Why did they add Trophy Offenrors to the game? All this points to the fact that the developers are trying to make a “Symmetrical balance”, and the buff Cuirass will not do this in any way, since it breaks the TTK of most weapons, for example, the Gewehr-41 should make 2 shots instead of 1 shot.,
Ok, so add body armor to all factions… lol.
Why didn’t they remove the p47 or fg 42/ avt… this is playing it up as it’s not a cosmetic but it is a feature now.
I assure you, you will tire of complaining before I do.
Why did you vote no, then?
Sure makes it look like you’re just deflecting right now.
Indeed, time to just settle the matter for good.
I was never a fan of filling the TT with captured weapons, hence why I don’t use them.
I voted no because the Soviets used body armour in WW2 so i think it’s fine being a cosmetic that you have to pay/grind to unlock. Only thing I’d change to please people like you would be to make it more expensive.
WW2 also didnt have post-war jets and every rifleman running around with FG42 but here we are.
Wouldn’t please me at all.
Cosmetics should have no impact on gameplay.
If you want body-armour with effect, make it a backpack slot item.
If you add “Cuirasses” to everyone, it will turn into the aesthetics of the “First World War”. Therefore, the best option is to remove the cuirass bonus and for players to use customization to stand out from other players rather than gain an advantage. By the way, standard customization costs 8 requests for a change of appearance, “Cuirass” costs 8 requests for a change of appearance, Japanese Customization costs 12 requests for a change of appearance.

That’s your opinion then.

Pointless, this is a arcade game which values balance, trying to come with history in 2026 wont change that anymore.

10%? Okay, let’s take a look at G41. 14.4 damage will become 13. It means you need to shoot twice to kill. It is 100% buff
According to history, if I’m not mistaken (correct me if I’m wrong). Cuirasses were used only by “Engineering Assault brigades”, that is, in the Enlisted Game, cuirasses should be available exclusively to the “Flame Throwers”, and not to every squad.
I’m aware of that, no clue what you’re trying to point out
