Question about Vests - S6

[Gatorade]

Do any of the vests even provide armor? It seems like the vest doesnt provide extra protection. If this is not true then I think the guns are just strong enough to penetrate the vest regardless with one shot. Was just curious what the best vest is to get / which ones are glitched. My thoughts was the carrier lite but It doesnt seem to provide any protection.

Well, if you get shot from the deagle, obviously you'll die.

Well I one tapped my buddy with an acp in the chest and he had the 3k$ vest

Carrier lite is the most armored. Many of the modded vests offer relatively little in the way of armor.

He was mostly asking about the modded vest

The Carrier Light will tank anything

Modded vest are useless, buy standard Arma vests

Ive been one tapped by like 5 different pistols in the chest while wearing a carrier lite so I was just wondering if all vests are glitched or if the guns are just strong or something

Pretty sure that a bunch (if not all) of the tryk vest no longer have armor values. The tryk mod also hasn't been updated for 7-8 months, so I would not be surprised if they are broken.

I think the carrier lite may be broken too, or its just not strong enough. Trying to decide if its worth buying a vest in its current state. Min max money kind of thing

Not sure about that, only had experience with modded Armour vs modded guns. You might be right. 

[Alex:)]

just dupe i already said its ok 

[BrutaL]

the modded guns are broken in terms of original arma equipment, and i prefer playing a somewhat sim, so server 1-4 ftw

the bullet velocity & flightpath are way broken on the ak for example. OP gun much

How so? Specifically. I know you mentioned the velocity and trajectory but in what way are they broken/op?

What are you comparing them too? The AK's have a lower penetration than even the Katiba. The AK also had several more ricochet which leads me to believe it's velocity is even lower than the Katiba. 

[Sheriff Rick Grimes]

I'd be more happy if they either...

 

A.  removed the plate carrier

 

B.  Lowered/raised the values of every vest to be like the plate carrier

 

I basically wanna see variety in what people wear and no one feel forced to wear certain clothing into combat so they have an advantage, the pilot coverall days were so bland.

Modded Vests are always broken and don't provide any armour most of the times. If the mod author doesn't update them, they usually go useless after official Arma updates. Just use the Official Arma vests.
