    • @daaaavidz
      @daaaavidz Před měsícem +2

      I hated the armor rework so much that in the next wipe I'll play exclusively with leg ammo to farm salt from the players who praised the change because they want this game to have a CoD-like time-to-kill, but right now I can't be arsed because it's already so late into the wipe.

  • @daaaavidz
    @daaaavidz Před měsícem +30

    It's ironic. The "CoD zoomers" in this game wanted it to have a 30 seconds time-to-kill so they could keep sprinting all around their raids without being careful, so they defended any change to the previous armor system (even if it's a bad change like the one we got), but now the game is evolving into a leg meta once again as a counter to the overpowered armor which is now arguably lowering the time-to-kill compared to how the game was before the armor rework, at least in the situations where players aren't shooting at each other from behind cover when legs are usually not exposed.
    The solution for the issue has already been proposed. Players need a vital hitbox centered on their chest so armor plates can be effective without having such ridiculous large hitboxes, but since that solution is more complex than simply increasing the size of armor plates then BSG just took the easy approach and made the game worse because of it.

    • @mrsaltydino4817
      @mrsaltydino4817 Před měsícem +5

      @daaaavidz I disagree. Your telling me you enjoyed dying to a ai cause he hit you in the upper chest with sp7 I understand the vital hit boxes but to be Frank with the new armor I feel like my money is actually invested into something and works now do I think availability of tier 5 plates should be more limited yes but as of now I feel like the armor feels good at least if I get one tapped it's in the head. Which is where I only aim for because with even meh ammo most people aren't wearing face masks cough cough cqcm. But if you hit people in the face they still go down. Aiming for legs just makes your aim worse imo

      @@mrsaltydino4817 The thing u need to understand is that before the latest update the armour was working as inteded and it protected you and was worth the moeny you paid too. You need to understand that plate carriers and armour vests are meant to protect you when everything else failed. You should use cover and concealment to increase survivability. If you are found in the open you nmade a mistake and the vest is there to cover your vitals which is what BSG should have incluided. Do not use armour as cover, use cover as cover and armour as armour. Everyone that did not enjoy the previous armour hitboxes is because they do not use cover or concealment which is this milsim harcore game you definately should. This is not cod.

    • @Handcannon77
      @Handcannon77 Před měsícem

      Well clearly youre either too young, or too dumb to understand what the word "nuance" means, or youre just intentionally arguing in very poor faith to make your god awful opinion seem "correct". I have never seen anyone ask for anything even remotely close to your gross exaggeration of a "30 second TTK" for the so called "cod zoomers"(which is ironic, since id wager most of the people who wanted armor to actually do something, were older, veterans of the game lul), people simply wanted armor to do something, and for you to be rightfully rewarded for wearing high tier armor, and using high tier ammo(whereas before, it largely did not matter if you used a cheap kit with cheap ammo, or you used top tier gear)...you know, have gear/ammo progression actually mean something?
      It was incredibly easy(in fact it took literally 0 mechanical skill, especially with the recoil changes) to use ANY ammo out of ANY gun and just spray center mass and end up dropping someone in a second because it was incredibly common for 1-2 rounds to evade hitting the plate hitbox(which is all you needed, even if you were running easily accessible, cheap af ammo), rendering whatever armor that person was using, effectively useless. I cant count how many times I was 1 tapped to the thorax by rounds that should never 1 tap me through a level 6 plate+lvl 3 aramid, but they routinely did because the plate hitbox was so small. Now, aim is rewarded(hitting headshots) more, as well as using higher tier gear/ammo too, AND you can achieve a similar TTK as someone using BiS gear even if you dont have access to max traders, by simply using flesh rounds+leg meta'ing people. That is objectively far more balanced than it was before. Now, you have timmys and people with dogshit aim who are mad because they cant use piss gear and ammo, and still 1 tap peoples thorax's with any random centermass spray, completely negating what gear theyre wearing...boo fucking hoo, what a concept, they made mechanical skill and aim actually matter in an FPS??

    • @daaaavidz
      @daaaavidz Před měsícem +4

      @@mrsaltydino4817 I'm not denying the problem with RNG letting flesh ammo often ignore armor with previous plates, what I'm saying is that the solution that BSG addopted to solve this issue was terrible and made the game even worse, with PMCs being considerably more tanky now than they were back in Tarkov 0.13 when many people already considered them too tanky.
      Instead of coming up with a proper solution, like adding a new vital organ hitbox at the center of the torso, and then making a blacked torso no longer causing death, BSG simply increased the size of the hitboxes because tha required almost no effort from their part. Now we are all paying for their lazyness and things will only get worse in the next wipe, because right now the consequence of the armor changes isn't in full effect because most players have access to high penetration ammo this late into the wipe.

    I started late this wipe and I used only SP7 and .45 RIP for the first 45 levels. Before the armor update I would just aim for their neck area and they dropped pretty quick. After the change, I switched to legs and it still performs really strong.
    If you use 900+ rpm I can usually win fights against 308 players and 7.62x39 BP. (Assuming they don’t one tap me) 556 still got me pretty often though just due to the fire rate and lower recoil.

    I think the 100 rounders for the STNAG guns with warmageddon deserves more than an honorable mention. 7 shots to kill is nothing to sneeze at when you have 100 in the mag, being able to just keep firing forever if you use a lower rpm gun like the MDR can deal additional psychic damage as you just keep shooting forever from the perspective of your target. This can keep you safe as you push a target gun already blazing. Plus warmageddon is cheaper than dirt and be had for rock bottom prices on fence due to a quest giving you like 12 boxes people wanting to get rid of it so selling it to fence without unboxing it.

BSG increases recoild once again and nerfs ammo... people complain, bsg buffs everything and ads the promissed features of realistic armour hitboxes, people complain, so they add cod armour as we have now, cod players then complain about the game being too real (even though this is the point really). BSG buffs armour to cover all body and legs.... rats go to feet meta XD. BSG is a joke. they should just stick to the realistic armour hitboxes and add vitals... the game would be perfectly balanced as it was with all ammo and all armour viable.... but no, BSG must keep COD players and streamers happy

    Also I think leg meta is great for ratting/camping as you stop people who are out in the open as you tear into theirs legs, tho that's probably not most spicy footage
    The mp9-N would be a solid mention tho the ammo craft is alot worse so it's not as viable

    Is there any hope of draining down armor durability with 12/70 Dual Sabot Slug (65% armor damage (=AP20) x 2 bullets (pellets) applied consequently)?

    • @bobdude9595
      @bobdude9595 Před 28 dny

      Armor damage is a percent based on the pen, so for dual sabot they do 11 armor damage each (22 if both hit) and ap20 does 24 armor damage. Its a really misleading stat and it would be nice if they just listed the raw armor damage.

    • @Gigabeef
      @Gigabeef  Před 28 dny

      And that's just the raw armor damage - it then depends on the pen (a second time) and the armor class too, so it does different amounts to different armors. That's with taking material into account of course - indeed a very confusing stat

  • @tylerthelame
    @tylerthelame Před měsícem

    Am I crazy/misunderstanding the math at 1:35? How is 70% of 375 = 536 and not 262.5 meaning a total received damage of 327.5 (65 from the leg and the remaining damage reduced by 70%)?

    • @Gigabeef
      @Gigabeef  Před měsícem

      You can look at it two ways, either reduce the damage of the bullet and calculate the hits to 440 hp
      OR you can calculate the "effective hp" of a PMC via the legs by adding the 30% on top. This lets you figure out the raw damage that you need to do.
      To reduce the bullets damage by 30% you'd x0.7, so to work out the EHP we need to divide the remaining health by 0.7 to get to the full number.
      Qualitatively, the damage reduction = more shots to kill, so the raw damage needed for a leg kill MUST go up and be more than 440

    Why did you largely only focus on weapons that are only effective in short ranges...? The idea that leg meta is only viable using SMGs/shotguns from close range isnt reality. Did you completely forget about the fact 556 rounds like Warmaggedon exist, and .300 whisper? Or Ultra Nosler out of a SA58? All of those rounds are pretty comparable to RIP damage wise, except you can engage targets from a further distance and more accurately when using an HK, MCX, or SA58(not to mention, larger mag capacity). If you dont have max traders, you can still easily go that route and achieve a very similar TTK as someone using high pen ammo. Also, early wipe before people are running CQCM masks and bastion slaps(I mean, shouldnt really be aiming for the helmet if you can help it anyway) commonly, it doesnt really matter if youre using high pen ammo or not, if you hit people in the throat/face, they WILL die regardless of what ammo youre using. People just want to use any excuse for why they cant kill people who are better at the game than them, and who are using better gear than they are too. If people dont like Aim and mechanical skill mattering, and what gear/ammo they use to matter, then theyre playing the wrong game and theyre beyond helping. The fact is a lot of the people complaining are people who want to be able to randomly spray centermass and drop some1 in 1 second using any shit ammo AKA they dont want skill to be a significant deciding factor in the game, nor do they want gear to matter at all...they think theyre entitled to killing people who are much more skilled, and much better equipped because...reasons?

Being able to tear someone up and give them 3 heavy bleeds is huge in a corner to corner fight because they will want to retreat but can't heal because you are so close, if they do you can catch them in the act. If they hold off from healing they will just bleed out.
