@MajorMcDonalds By the way, here is a post from August 2024, over a year ago, echoing the same complaints about body armor as people are making today.
Is this a knee jerk reaction, Major? These complaints have been around for a long time. Over a year, in fact.
I know you’re very well aware of the reaction you got when you asked people to vote for the labor of love award on steam for Enlisted. Ask yourself, why did people react that way?
That would be nice, especially since we can use them at what ever BR level we choose. I would probably do the same with my Berretta 38 paratrooper squad, and I would change my BR2 squad to MP40’s since I don’t use MP40’s anywhere else in the game except for one tank crew. I would like this option with every Premium or Event squad I paid for so I can either shit can the crappy weapon they were strapped with, or be able to use them in another BR level if I have too many squads at it’s current level.
I’ve run plenty of matches both against body armour and using it… and in practical terms it does sweet FA.
With rifles, the damage is high enough that the body armour might at well not be there. Maybe it makes the difference between being downed or killed outright every now and then? Maybe.
Maybe it makes the difference of one hit from an SMG which at extreme ranges means you might, maybe, get away when you might otherwise have not. But at combat ranges where they’ll hit you more often than not… the slowest firing German SMG is 450 rpm unupgraded. That increases your survival time by 0.13 seconds. The distance you live from the server makes more difference to your survivability than wearing body armour.
I recieve just some minutes ago the new Yak 3 squad. Why pilot is only 4 stars (maximum)?!
It’s not specified in news. So it’s not usable like others (and you can’t change the pilot)
