I wish they would keep the more realistic armour system by keeping the plates the right size, but expand the health system to be more sophisticated. The issue before is when you're shot in the armpit from the front, you die immediately which is kinda silly. When in reality they should add vital hit boxes that sit deeper inside the thorax area, so arm pit hit won't kill from the front, but it might from the side because the bullet would go in to hit the heart / spine hitboxes.

@ForOne814 14 дней назад

The more sophisticated health system doesn't solve the issues that the community had with the armor system. It actually makes them worse. People didn't like getting killed while wearing armor, that's it. You wouldn't die immediately from the armpit shot IRL, the same way you wouldn't die immediately from 10 shots to your leg. But you will be immobilized, probably go unconscious. I.e. dead gameplay-wise, since there is no unconscious state in Tarkov yet.

@TheBrick534 14 дней назад

@@ForOne814 It could fix it if a vitals hitbox was small enough to be covered effectively by the armor in game. I think this reversion of the armor system is a step backwards and turns the game back into a stupidy arcadey shooter where if you have maxed out gear you can just tank just about anything and make retarded plays if you're against early/mid tier players; AKA, casuals. I understand if BSG doesn't care about a casual playerbase at this point and can accept the game simply won't be for me, but they'll be losing ALOT of players if they continue to tailor the game to streamers and hardcore players.

@postaldude24 14 дней назад

I'd partly blame the community for this one, the armor system before was good and quite unique but with the way EFT's health system works it just ended up in random 1 shot kills which you could argue incentivized slower play and better positioning due to the fact that your armor and armor class wasn't immediately a on and off switch between you dying or surviving gunfights. I don't mind the gaps in the armor but BSG really have to take a page out of GZW's book with its health system, plate carriers are the norm and do their job closely mimicking real life. Then again, its also easy to forget that no one plays this game like a tactical shooter anymore... go figure.

@ForOne814 14 дней назад

@@postaldude24 GWZ's system produces terrible results both in terms of realism and gameplay. BSG absolutely should look at it, to see what they shouldn't do. Because it doesn't actually attempt to simulate the terminal ballistics, because good luck simulating that on the current hardware in real time. Plate carriers are the norm in the Western militaries, because the West fights against people that don't even have artillery, they can afford to only cover the vitals with a plate and nothing else, because even if you get hit around the plate you will have the chance to be evacuated and receive proper medical treatment before it's too late. For the same reason plate carriers are used for police use cases globally. But if you look at the war in Ukraine, people only use plate carriers because they have nothing better, and it's not great. Even just getting hit by a VOG turns from an event you can just walk away from (with several broken fingers and some shrapnel in the ass) to a stomach full of shrapnel.

8:17 - 'Stomach armour hitbox' - just a thought - that PMC seems to be stood very upright (bordering on leaning backwards if we look at the angle of the thighs/knees) in comparison to a PMC that is running or aiming, who would be leaning more forwards, almost hunched over and thus lowering that hitbox. I'd wager this 'lifting' means it almost covers the stomach area when we're running or gunning - which is probably more relevant to being stood bolt upright.

Brilliant video, thanks Giga! I'm sort of apathetic regarding the whole system and ideas of "fixing" armor and health: Tarkov seems to me such a brutal game and to an extent a "jank" game to experience, you're never going to reach a point where when you go down you'll always think "Ah, yes, I understand how I lost that, makes sense fair and square." And I feel like even though justified in technical content, a lot of criticism of the system stems from frustration of feeling "cheated" out of "buffs" you mentally gave yourself to protect your PMC. We'll have to see though, maybe the meta will become more fun with this change, maybe taking down Chads will become a one in a million like it used to. My objective will still be to rat away in a bush, and not get shot in the first place. We're the rats, we're the rats....

Yes but more about accessing the - performance wise it's all about class, and now a bit about durability. Dura didn't matter before because they were so small they hardly got damaged - now we might pay more attention to the durability stats but I imagine that people in the endgame will continue to use class 6 barters for the front plate, and class 5 gac plate as the back, or backup in case they run out of 6 - because gacs can be crafted

The only difficult ammo to unlock is M80, the rest is just progression through wipe, rolling back to something similar to the old armor system is a huge win since the plate system doesn't go well at all with their current HP system, and they're too lazy to rethink their health system to make plates work well with it

@andrewkvk1707 13 дней назад

For balancing reasons I'd rather have a more detailed player hitboxes/ballistics. A grazing shot shouldnt instakill you unless it did a massive amount of damage or fragmented and hit a vital area, but I also dislike that the armor is sacrificed for balance instead of "just" adjusting what is a vital area, armor feels significantly weaker than it used to now that individual plates have health and the size changes make it stick out a decent bit from the player hitboxes more from certain angles. I'd much rather take grazing shots that give me massive debuffs to my torso but I can heal or mitigate through meds, than have a grazing shot destroy the armor that protects the entirety of my chest. This isn't realistic but I think it is more so than the system they have now and is more forgiving if not more intricate.

@ForOne814 12 дней назад

>A grazing shot Getting hit in the ribs isn't a grazing shot. A grazing shot doesn't hit anything but skin. Consider that it never happens in Tarkov, and does no damage, and every hit that does damage is not a grazing shot. Vitals go directly against what the players wanted from the armor system. It adds more oneshots, doesn't remove them.

I think it's more about business strategy than anything else. Notice how they made the plates hitboxes bigger but "forgot" about all the nerfs to bullets that came with the launch of update 0.14. Notice how Arena conveniently offers a series of high level gear like level 6 plates and really good armor piercing ammunitions like m995 or SSA AP, all which are banned from the flea market or with limited availability if you play Tarkov exclusively. Notice how BSG has mentioned in previous patch notes that premium editions of Arena will be available in the future, which will very likely contain things like fast progression or increased quantity of rewards for Arena daily quests which will reward players with those high level items. They are literally balancing Tarkov, the main game mode, around some stupid DLC filled to the brim with pay-to-win features because they are too greedy and prideful to take the L about their failed DLC.

I understand that AACPC soft armor protects the same area as armor plate. However, when dealing with high penetration rounds (such as the M855A1), is there a difference with the THOR? The soft armor absorbs what the plate could not prevent, but does the TOHR, which cannot guard the upper side, make a difference in the number of definite shots to a kill?

@Gigabeef 8 дней назад

I showed some stats at the end, the difference is that side on the thor just has class 5 on its own under the arm. M855A1's pen gets reduced on its way through by the plate which makes it low enough to then be defended against by the soft - thats the difference

@SilenceDicer 13 дней назад

what kind of plates did you use in the aacpc? and where you get the best ones from?

@Gearstapo 11 дней назад

It comes with the best level 5 plates as standard, you can craft tactec or aacpc in hideout, you can also barter hexatac hpc to get them also.

Is the CQC Osprey MK4A plate carrier (Protection, MTP) not better than this one? Gets neck protection too.

@christopheduron6181 14 дней назад

Why exactly is the aacpc better than the thor crv according to you? Is it because the soft armor that follows the plates around an armored rig protects your thorax better than the soft armor of an armored vest?

@Gigabeef 14 дней назад

Correct. The soft armor on the thor that protects the chest is still "Thorax" and "Back" like it used to be, missing the sides of the upper most hitbox area. The aacpc now also has soft covering the previously uncovered "Thorax - side" aka the armpit, as it sits directly under the front plate using whatever configuration it is given. So you're more protected from the side as you have 5+3 vs just 5 on its own with the thor

I’m betting AI will Still get kills thru that tiny sliver between plates. Instead of shooting Center Mass of the visible body parts, as we are trained both in and out of the military, They have an aimbot which seeks out the least protected spot and shoots right there. It’s So unrealistic and it’s a kind of cheat code. I’ve been gut shot and leg shot when peeking from behind solid cover, too, so the game cheats to get you killed. It’s one of the things we Hate about Tarkov!

@Dyils 14 дней назад

I still feel like a Redut-M is better. It will have more coverage, even if it's lower level on armpit. Also, Redut-M is actually available on traders and CPC Mod 1 is not so... the availability alone makes this not an option. And this is before people have learned about this and started buying up all the Mod 1s

@Gigabeef 14 дней назад

Soft doesn't cover the side thorax. It's good, sure. But if you want maximum thorax protection, you need one where the soft armor DOESN'T cover the 'thorax' in the tooltip. Highly unintuitive, but it's the result of the changes

@phyzer23148 14 дней назад

This is such a rough change for shotguns and SMGs. I already felt like 9mm was underwhelming Now if you don't use M80/M62 from max level traders, killing anyone without a headshot is going to be impossible. You can't even do leg meta, because they nerfed the damage multipliers so much.

@ForOne814 13 дней назад

Even with M80 it takes like 4 shots to the thorax before you even have a chance to kill to a class 5 plate.

So basically it’s like the old armour system? But with different plates?

@ainumahtar 13 дней назад

No, armor is even stronger now as it's not only the plates (like it was 'plates' in the "old" old system) but plates with full coverage AND the soft armor, so they are back to original forcefield armor, but even stronger due to the added layer of soft armor (for most armors/armored rigs anyway)
