AI seem to be ignoring armor

[Neon Samurai]

Over the last few days I keep getting one shot to the chest/brain by the basic AI, and I have been noticing on these occasions that the armor where I was shot was completely undamaged.

In all deaths I was facing the AI that killed me (and had generally shot them 5-15 times) and they spin around and bang instantly dead. So they are not bypassing the armor from the side.

i had a dude shoot me through a thick tree and then through my III+ steel plate vest, one shot killed me. pretty sure he was using an SKS with that SP ammo too...

Yeah, got one shot in the head yesterday with a super helmet. So next time i will buy a military cap instead as it makes no difference at all.

Some places the ai has armor piercing bullets, so thats a nightmare.

Armor works, you know there are only 2 good armors in the game only III and VI are good, the safe a lot of times my ass after a few fights. but lpz or sp BP and other strong armor types just kill you. I feel the game is like tarkov when it comes to helmets the are useless most of the time and i didnt found any tier4 helmet.

The problem is when you die you have no wound.... you just have damage to your organs. I keep getting 1 shot in my chest, both my lungs and heart and damaged but there is no wound, little red dot on my body at all.... Might as well have no armor in this game cause it makes 0 difference imo. You either take 1 or 2 rounds and are dead 90% of the time

Again the Armor works, its far from perfect but it safes a lot of time my life. I inspect a lot of armor and doing with my gear a lot of quests and on the end i only have 20% durability. im sad i cant repair armor atm. The systems work like Real Life try it out with a nice big Armor west how mutch you stay alive when someone spray on you 30 rounds with some AK47, you are really fast dead. It protects and safe you a little bit, so you get bleeding or need to use meds. But it makes you not unkillable ingame and on real life.

You literally take 3 rounds and you die in this game... running with iii+ gear on and being insta killed. I understand there is a iv level armor in the game but that aint doing anything. I understand this is supposed to be more realistic but its not atm. Some times AI spray all around you like you're Neo in the Matrix and other times a piece of buckshot from 300m away kills you in 1 shot in the body armor. Makes no difference. I die 90% of the time from 1-3 rounds hitting me... that's it. I don't even get a chance to heal most of the time so I stopped carrying healing supplies because they literally never get used. I am either one of the most unlucky players out there or you're super lucky to live through so many shots

III+ is under III did you even check armor in this game? When you not kill the AI on the first few bullets and let them shoot on you open field you dead yes. The AI is sometimes bad asf and sometimes the just oneshoot you. But it have nothing to do with armor and penetration. You never carrying Heal items, rofl bro i have nearly my safe container full of it and i need on mid-high endgame a lot of it everytime. Go more inside of buildings, snipe your way inside of camps and play the game out and slow. I guess to need to get gud!

i mean armor work , not all the time, but when i go some time in sawmill/airport/bluelagon with a II+ armor and have my switch to a IIIA and then a III, i really feel the difference.

my big thing about this, is when you check the enemy amo and the tier of protection you have, here something i missanderstand, but i mean there is an incidence with the server issue atm.

and you take a npc using same type of bullet in 2 area, the dmg are very different, and that's make no sense.

no III+ is the best you can find, it's II+ -> IIIA -> IIIA+ ->III -> III+

Thats what I thought when I goggled it.... IIA, IIA+, II, II+, IIIA, IIIA+, III, III+, and the mythical IV armor I have yet to find.

The AI sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo op!!!!
I killed 9 of them this morning was in perfect health and totally armored up. Bang one shot and I'm dead. Total BS.

Armour is so hit and miss sometimes. I wore a crappy helmet designed to stop pistol rounds, and it blocked actual AK and SKS rounds to the head, though 2 shots and the durability wore out. Then I used a III+ helmet designed to stop AR bullets, and it pretty much didn't work, then it did work, then it didn't. I feel like it's random. Though I think it has something to do with whether or not you're being shot in face.

It's lame, I have real world experience with body armour and I can tell you the stuff in the game is not modeled correctly from a ballistics perspective. and you can dump a mag of 7.62 into some T-Shirt wearing tango and they will go down with the last bullet???
Something is not right here...... the Dev's should have hired a consultant to make this more realistic.
