“I IIA IIA+ IIIA IIIA+” Which one is better？

[欢喜丶]

How should I choose？

[Ang3lsDem0n]

The main 4 you should care about is IIA<IIIA<III<III+

[FallenActual]

It goes: (A varient | Number | A+) in each tier so from worst to best it is IA, ! , IA+ | IIA, II, IIA+ | IIIA, III, IIIA+ | IVA, IV, IVA+ from my understanding

Fallen here says it better than me. I'm just going by the main 4 i've been seeing in the game.

Thank you, what does "A" represent

What is the status of "III+" in the game

[LordTaChungas]

The body armor system is based off of NIJ standards, if its accurate it will be III/III+ > IIIA/IIIA+, IIIA is a body that is designed to stop a number of rounds from all hand gun ammunition (the amount of rounds is indicated in game by armor health), and IIIA+ means that the body armor was made to defeat special threats normally heavy perpetrator handgun ammunition. Now level III is meant to stop most rifle rounds up to 7.62x51 Ball, and just like IIIA+, III+ is made to stop more heavy penetration rounds like M855 and 7N10, Now just cause it can stop these rounds does not mean it can stop alot of them and the armor will normally be compromised after 3-5 and damage will get through, now where level IV comes into play is when you want to stop .30 cal AP rounds, with the standard being able to stop 2 .30-06 AP.

TLDR: IV > III+ > III > IIIA+ > IIIA> II > IIA

Thank you for your answer. There are still many areas for me to learn

I already had created a thread about this, but here you go.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to explain how the NIJ armor levels work as much as I can so people wont be as confused as I was when i first saw them.

NIJ LEVELS-

IIA
II
IIIA
III
IV

-Levels Explained- Standards are base on MINIMUM performance standards.

IIA and II are simply handgun level armor which we wouldnt worry about

IIIA- A armor that has been tested against .357 sig FMJ Flat nose bullet with a velocity of 448 m/s. Also, tested against .44 magnum semi jacketed hollow point with velocity of 436 m/s. This is basically your top rated pistol armor. Anything above .44 is going to either cause deformation and cause bruising and bleeding or penetrate the armor.

III- A armor that has been tested against 7.62 mm FMJ, steel jacketed bullets with a velocity of 847 m/s. This armor has grey areas though. This armor does not stop AP rounds. However level III steel plates can stop AP rounds. NIJ doesn't do a good job on including all the round types this level can handle even with the variations of material types of the armor itself.

IV- A armor that has been test against a .30 caliber (.30-06 AP) armor piercing bullet with a velocity of 878 m/s. If the armor cannot stop a AP round it can not be labeled as level IV. It would then be pushed down to a level III.

III+- This is not a actual NIJ level. It is something that was created outside the NIJ standards to help deal with the gap between level III and level IV. This standard is set as a plate that exceeds level III standards, but does not meet level IV standards. This was created due mainly too the M855 round. Not all level III can stop M855 rounds. If a plate can stop M855 it will be labeled as level III+ outside of the NIJ level standards. This will be different from company to company since they are the ones labeling the armor III+ and NOT the NIJ.

BACK FACE DEFORMATION-
When the armors are tested they are put up against a clay block. The armor is then shot 6 times to test penetration and back face deformation. After taking the armor plate off the clay they look at the indentation left in the clay which is the back face deformation. The deformation can be up to 44mm. Anything past 44mm will cause bruising and internal bleeding.

I hope this helped everyone understand the armor system better. I know typing this out has helped me learn it better as well.

YEAH BUT ITS NOT VERY GOOD SO NO ONE USES IT
