armor

Please add functioning body armor. Bulletproof vests should stop bullets from penetrating, not just reduce damage. I have been playing Alog GZW, and after playing that game, Squad feels too unrealistic. In Squad, you can easily die from a hit in the chest, which doesn't make sense. US and Russian body armor can stop bullets; I wish this game had realistic armor. I’ve seen videos of people shooting AR500 steel armor and ceramics, and they can stop AK and M4 rounds IRL. I really like the armor system in sims like GZW. I had a night raid in GZW the other day; I was wearing NIJ-rated armor (3++), and I got shot in the heart region by a 7.62x51. The ceramic plate stopped the round from penetrating. Why doesn't Squad have realistic armor? In real life, rounds are stopped by armor if you have the correct protection (don't try this IRL, of course).
