not really, more like a fix. Just like with PPSh box which you also conveniently were against of.
As none cosmetic should affect the gameplay.
How ever, only the bodyarmor currently does affect gameplay drastically.
If you’re trying to bring up the Japanese swords as a counterpoint, maybe read what I said before commenting? It’s even the RU version of Wikipedia!
Just like PPSH silenced made payble after it was free
Just like Uragan nerfed to br 3
Just like Fedorov 25 made unplayable
Just like all the wasted gear
We have seen it before.
This guy don’t care about balance or equality - he remain silent about 150% singuto boost in tech tree while others do not have it
-
Show us the documents of the body armour working against anything above 9mm rounds.
-
Show us documents that the body armour protects areas that it doesn’t cover.
Current flat 10% damage reduction has the body armour protecting soldiers from full on rifle fire, flames for some reason too, and many many more stupid things. Not only that, the 10% damage reduction applies across the whole body, which is also ridiculous.
It’s not acting in a realistic manner, so do not hide behind this excuse.
I will be the first guy to write a suggestion for Soviet unique, universally available, and realisticly acting body-armour (with appropriate bonuses and drawback), equipable as a backpack slot item, once the hidden buff on the cosmetics are removed.
Cosmetics should not apply effects upon gameplay, if you want body armour with effects then those effects should be realistic, not a universaly applicable upgrade, it should be a situational item, which takes up a slot on the soldier just like all the rest of the gear in game.
Just like every competitor, stg & thompson.
Again. Fix.
By how ? making avt so much better that it has no use ?
Tell me a single balance related reason why bodyarmor should exist.
I can almost touch the irony. A man who was arguably the loudest defender of absolutely broken ppsh41 box moaning how people dont care about balance.
You are free to make topic about subject that keeps you awake at nights.
he probably means damage change from 12.6 to 13.9… it made fedorov totally unplayable.
What the fk ?? THAT is outrageous, how dare they make it ohk against vitality ?
Now im not going to get any sleep tonight knowing such outrageous nerf.
Its time to make #SovietSufferingIsReal
I’ll just remind you that the cuirass thickness was up to 5.2 mm of low-carbon armor steel, plus an anti-fragmentation liner. You can check the penetration capability of a 9mm bullet in open sources.
Since im not native to soviet union.
Care to explain how same plate offers protection from 150 onwards to “Light rifle round” and 100m onward to “Rifle round” that I can only speculate to be 8mm mauser.
…nah, we dont need to do that. Just have him volunteer to wear the armor and ill shoot him point blank with a mauser round ![]()
Ahh this old chest nut. Nothings changed for years
Early versions (СН-39) were tested using 1908-pattern rifle bullets with a reduced powder charge (which were referred to as “light” rifle bullets). The СН-40 and later versions were also tested against Б-30 rounds, which is likely what is meant by “heavy bullets”.
Point-blank testing was not conducted. Against rifle rounds, guaranteed non-penetration was achieved from 35 meters at a 45-degree angle.

Hi remember you’re in the english forum
Atleast have the courtesy to atleast translate your sources, else I can remove it

Hi that’s one idea per topic/thread
You can have as much polls as you need as long as it concerns 1 topic

The joke was “in game” body armor makes 14.4 dmg mauser rounds require 2 shots point blank.
…but seriously…anyone wanna volunteer?..ill take 35 meters aswell
Oh no the Soviets only received the best SF in the game instead of it - tragic!
Oh no now Soviets are forced to use the PPS-43 that’s the best SMG at BR2! And the Uragan got buffed so it’s decent at BR3 instead of OP - how unfair!
What’s next? Making RD-44 not be the best MG in the entire game? Making Fedorov Avtomat actually in line with other ARs instead of being 4 fold better? Have Gewehr 41 not have twice as long reload despite the same damage as SVT-38? What a heresy!
I’ve been playing all nations for a while. I’ve researched all the TT months ago at this point and trust me - majority of my takes stem out from how well equipment works in my hands. I asked for Meteor nerf when I was actively using it because it was trivial to use. I’ve asked for Super Pershing when I only had researched Germany because engaging M26 with a KT was too easy
Cope as much as you want. Soviets are far from suffering. The only thing they lack is a proper BR5 tank and I’ve already made statement’s about this as well
I’d love to go on and talk about balance but I’m currently stuck fighting a bunch of stubborn crybabies who can’t comprehend that having the best equipment in the game makes them the strongest nation. How about we remove the damage reduction already so I can start working on other things?
They also lack some aircraft. Br 1 has no attacker and br 4 has absolutely no tt planes
