Military armor or Steel armor?
I've been looking at how they are both in the gamepedia of the 7 Days to Die, but there only appears its durability (which by the way the military has more).
According to the game, in the description of the military clothes it says that it provides the best defense of armor and moderate protection against the climate, but the "Armor rating" is smaller than that of an iron or steel.
So, which is the best? At last I have enough level to make them, but now I don't know which one is better. The one of military attracts me more for that reason that protects against the climate, although if the one of steel protects more, I prefer it.
Thanks ^^

Pick your poison; Ones heavier, has more penatlies to stamina, move speed and such in return for more armor rating, other is lighter, and less penalties, but less armor too.

Full steel armor with steel plates
Pain tolerance 5
Heavy armor perk 5

Regular zombies hit for 1 damage

Full light with military plates
Pain tolerance 5
Light armor 5

I believe regular Z's hit for 3

With a set of customized fittings
90% damage reduction and you are a bit slower
Or 70% damage reduction and you are a tiny bit slower than base speed.

You are also LOUD in heavy armor so stealth is pointless.

I feel like you want custom fittings if your wearing hvy armor.
Last time i checked Custom fittings and Muffled connectors could not both be installed, it could have changed with 17.4. Unsure on that one.

Might be enough combined with stealth perks, but your far better off with light armor if you favor stealth.

Being loud as hell in Heavy armor can be nice, wake em all up so little worry of being surprised=P
