    For sure there are different effects on body armor from different weapons.  I could be reading too much into this video, but as I said I've been suspecting poor quality body armor for a while now.  First, other videos show fairly large numbers of dead Russians in one place who seem to be fully armored.  Second, Russia had shortages of body armor in the past, getting some from Iran (in desert camouflage too!).  Third, this is Russia we're talking about ;)  Body armor is time consuming and expensive to make.  If you don't think your Storm-Z guys are going to survive the first attack anyway, why put in the money giving them really good body armor?  Why not save it for your VDV/Spetsnaz guys?

    With the unbelievable variety of vests and helmets and personal gear that you see on both sides, a decent portion of it has got to be Chinese produced airsoft gear- I've had suspicions that at least some armor and a lot of those high-cut Ops-Core helmets you see worn by both sides are Chinese manufactured. While it's probably made to actually be used as armor and not as airsoft props, there are a lot of US tactical gear 'manufacturers' that are mostly importing and rebranding Chinese armor plates and helmets with questionable levels of protection and quality. Similar to drones, I'm sure both sides are directly contacting Chinese factories for large orders, similar to what we saw in Israel when they were initially gearing up for Gaza, and probably largely done through volunteer organizations or at the unit level.

    Despite losses (by Orix 76 destroyed and captured + 9 damaged/abandoned) BTR-4 still in action. Maybe we continue to produce them...

    LIkely 92nd assault brigade (former 92nd mech.brigade)

    Had that same thought- maybe the solid green ones without RPG cages are new production? or maybe ones taken from the Indonesian order? I'm no expert on its variations, but the headlights on the two green ones are much different than most you see

    Nylon/cotton blends, the cheap stuff. It's crap. 

    You can especially tell it's cheap crap because almost the entire product line is in stock and shippable to the US from Russian replica airsoft gear seller Grey-Shop, not good enough to be entirely bought out by volunteers and mobiks 😉

    * For the first guy with two boxes : bulletproof vest  CIRAS ? MSA parcalete RMV ? Paul Boyé 'Tigre' (looks like the same we had (French '11-'12) in Afghanistan)

    Just because I'm too interested in personal gear: Almost 100% the Paul Boye vest, considering we know France has donated armor and I can't think of a country who has used the CIRAS or RMV in substantial numbers in the past 15 years

  5. It hasn't really been noticeable in my playthrough- pretty much every unit, down to Warrior IFVs, is able to call for fire with only a minute or two longer delay than platoon leaders, and you generally have attached FOs as well.

    Although I didn't download your save (given your username and that it's your first post 😉 ), I can confirm what you say. 

    Hey, at least you knew the reference! 🙂
