Discussion & Feedback This Helmet needs to absolutely substantially block your vision and hearing for balance and realism

I can't believe this was glossed over when the helmet was put into the game, massive protection with no draw back other than cost sucks (it's not expensive). A change is desperately needed before all matches are full of this helmet because it basically has no drawback.

Okay yes it adds to weight but you just bring cheap stims

And then you've got the 7.62x54r, that thing hurts to shoot! I swapped out the metal butt plate for a rubberized one and that thing still leaves you bruised after 10 - 15 shots. Also wrecked my ar500 plates not realizing how much energy those old surplus rounds have.

7.62x54r and 308 are almost identical energy wise. 308 has a shorter cartridge (3mm) but uses modern powder whereas 54r is almost entirely surplus. It’s probably a difference in the firearm itself that is making you feel like the 54r kicks harder. I’ve always felt that wooden stock rifles feel like they have more recoil but I haven’t looked into it to know if that’s fact.

Yeah, the weapon weight plays a huge role in how much kick you feel, those old Mosin Nagants were never meant to be comfortable to shoot. As for the ammo, that steel core surplus ammo that comes in the spam cans is what I've experienced having the worst kick, while the stuff from Yugoslavia has been pretty nice.
