your opinion is invalid, because you’re unfairly benefitting from it.
or, the people that complain about it so much could simply forget about or also use it and kill the people that use it with superior skill.
I have no care fighting soviets as their teams are subpar cannon fodder… so seeing this going against me even when i’m not benefiting affects me zero.
focus on the facts, not your ‘their teams are cannon fodder’ opinions and anecdotes. This is an unfair advantage and should be removed for the health of the game

Good luck)
Many people are waiting for this many years and nothing happened and probably not going to happen. Developers definitely know about this and do nothing for like 2 or 3 year. And probably will not do in future also. By the way, I don’t care about Soviet body armor, though. Firstly, it’s rare in combat, very rare indeed. And secondly, it never stopped me from defeating the USSR as the Germans. A -10 percent damage bonus is simply too insignificant in a real Enlisted battle to influence the outcome and determine who wins.

The facts are people are too caught up in looking for an excuse as to why they lost when it’s an inherent skill issue.

There are literally stats, that you are ignoring, proving what I am saying
That’s probably the dumbest follow-up possible to that title. They might as well not put body armor options to Manchuria customization preset at all. 
There are stats for the meteor and tiger 2 that make them both better than any aircraft/tank in the game
I’m not denying that you have a point… it IS an imbalance… do i think it should be removed? No… and i’m well within my rights to express that.
Let the Soviets have their body armor and the 10% damage reduction. Counter it by increasing every other faction’s weapons damage by 10%. 
Those examples are NOT the same, at all.
Do you really believe that DF would do such a thing if otherwise they can sell a new campagin worth of change orders for gold?
Man, having to reload my type Hei/otsu three times only to down a single squad (5 or 6 times if you need to finish the downed aswell) sure does sound balanced when the svt 38 can do the same without doing it once…

Yeah but the experience is one thing and its hard to get unbiased opinion
But man I do love crunching numbers
Just as an example:
- body armor essentially makes FG-42 II a Type Hei Auto but without any recoil or mag size benefits
- Makes Scotti go from being the second best AR in the game to being Hyde with half the mag size
- Invalidates Type Hei Auto, Type 4, G41 completely
- Removes the 6.8 damage SMGs advantage, however small it might be, ON TOP OF still reducing their effective 3 shot range
Its just insane that this thing persists, or even more insane that people defend it

People who don’t care about balance are like that.
(Difficult not to say “bias” with something as ridiculous as those armours for 1 faction only)

Its bunch of basic arithmetics inside an excel sheet
I know its a lot for your average enlisted player but if you are here to say ‘Oh its a skill issue’ and then ‘oh you are obsessed’ when provided with more than anecdotal evidence then your presence is less than needed here

What u are saying is so true but the thing is it only really matter at clan level , I play both soviets and Germany a lot , most Soviet teams are indeed cannon folder with mosins and dragoons in br5 , heck many players don’t even know body armor is a thing ,
I think a more reasonable solution would be to buff Japan with new SF that has 15 damage while giving them samurai body armor of their own lol , or maybe make it like body armor gets u to br5 to protect low tier players with weak smgs because let’s be honest when was the last time u played br5 germany against randoms and u lost because soviets have body armor edge .

You are quite literally obsessing over it.
“does this to fg 42, does this to X, does this, does that! it’s so bad!!!”
You can look at all those numbers crunch them all you want that is obsessing over the issue… body armor exists and it’s unfair really is all you need to say but then you break it down to what it does to specific weapons like cmon man.
When simply could just shoot the people who use it before they can hit you.
I can’t “defend” my point when this suggestion is totally valid… i just don’t agree with it because i do not find an issue with it personally… and im totally cool with sharing that i really do not care for an echo chamber which is what you expected.
What’s next? Gonna complain about the meteor, tiger 2? Those get the echo chamber going well.
So how is that supposed to work if you have a type hei rifle?
You got 5 rounds and face a 9 man squad with armor so you need 2 shoots each for a total of 18 shoots.
Do you really believe that the enemy will just let you reload your gun 3 times infront of him before he will react to you?
I could maybe understand thinking that the auto hei will be able to overcome the armor issue with no problem but the problem is that armor also affects every othere weapon and with it lower BR too.
Not sure how satisfying a gun would feel to play if it is that useless even at point blank range.
If your response if just “aim for the head instead” then maybe the soviet side should recieve a damage nerf aswell so that even for them skill can be rewarded.

I wouldn’t because i don’t pity myself with low tier… and also find me situations of people running 9 man rifleman squads of body armor in low BR… since we want to do what ifs.
