Making plate carriers work

[hotcakes 348]

1. Copy A3's penetration system:

2. Add some dank plate carriers to the game

3. Make the plates walls

4. ???

5. Combat is more realistic and doesn't feel like everything blows up!

 

Thoughts?

This would be cool.

Or let them keep developing the game, create their own system that's just as good without fumbling around rewriting code from arma to import and have a grand ol' time

Plate carriers would be interesting, if done properly.

Should, for the sake of gameplay, not have too much of inventory space, so you would trade ability to carry tons of stuff for being protected from few bullets.

 

Oh and those plates should weight some as well, with stamina system (hope we get one eventually), they would make you slower and drain stamina faster.

Also the plate carrier vest should not get ruined fast, just the plate itself and that should be changeable.

Or able to be customisable to an extent and able to store certain things without taking up a slot

I would love to see such a penetration system in DayZ and I am positive it would greatly improve the gamplay and the gameplay options in PvP (as well as PvE in terms of shooting zombies and animals).

 

The only issue I can see is people in third person mode shooting others through walls without them having the slighest chance to see it coming. But hey - you can always peek yourself or join a first person server, right?
