The body armor is one of those things that were introduce very poorly into this game, along with some other decisions. And some people are absolutely spoiled by it, so used to it, and afraid to change. But I understand it. This game is based on repetition. They could’ve initially given it a value speed/mobility reduction, with the advantage of surviving bayonet charges, low caliber weapons such as pistols or weak smgs. But not rifle bullets, of course.
Now it keeps this game from moving forward in how cosmetics should work for such a menial thing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason they haven’t done it is because they’ll introduce body armor for the other factions some day. But they’re still trying to think how to monetize them. They’ve been sitting in the editor after all.
It’s going to be one or the other thing. Everyone gets theirs (which is gonna look silly af) or getting rid of the armor protection value all together.
Ok. So asymmetrical balance where each faction gets their pros and cons.
Then it would make sense to not add never used but symmetrical Su-9 1946 and AS-44 to mirror Me 262 and StG, or to not add T20 and Hyde AR either, correct?
Are you accusing me of something? On the contrary, I should be accusing you of not wanting to remove the sword running bonus or making this bonus uniform for all melee weapons. Otherwise, it turns out that where it’s convenient for you, the balance should be asymmetrical, and where it’s not convenient, it should be symmetrical.
