In warhammer 40K the female armors can also quiet differ from the male ones, if you look at the sister of battle armors. However that is also another point, it is fantasy. Some people are just such misogynists, that they want anything feminine out of their games, or want a perfect copy of the real life, without realising, that it is another world with creatures which are not even at real life. It is always the same topic, if someone wants women in a game where only are males characters, the one gets insults, if it is about cosmetics for women, there are insults. The whole point is just not to include content for female characters because the people do not want them in game.

Realistically, you would want to create different uniforms and armor layouts to suit male and female soldiery, but this difference primarily relates to underlying differences in general body shape, rather then the armor pieces themselves. We are talking a female would be a little thinner at the most. Armor would be tightened a little at the straps, or re-arranged just a smidge differently.

But what OP is asking? No. This is not going to be the case. It is sexist to demand a difference that goes beyond the current visual distinctions between a man and woman in modern tactical gear.

Side note on history, the idea of a non-sexual armor as being standard for men centuries past is a fat lie. Codpieces for example, or sculpted armor for abs and other stuff was very common in past cultures. Women would have had similar stuff in the few cultures where they might have been able to fight themselves or lead. This isn't a patriarchy problem or such. But that people show off, even in the past. Just not the ridiculous chainmail bikini of the 1980s.

But you are speaking of different times. In old greek and rome it was the case that there was body culture that even armor displayed the contours of the body, because they were sexual much more open than todays society. Another note on this is, that people of today often combine topics of sexuality or gender with hate and politics, so as soon as someone mentioned it, they come up with insults.
I would say times haven't changed. The same core thing is always sought for for someone interested in another. The Veneer changed, not its wherefor. But you are right. Its a topic met with a lot of hate.

The physical differences would actually necessitate differences in the body armor too, but that definitely doesn't mean skintight pants that display the ass or round breast cups in the upper torso.

For example, the waist part of the armor would have to be narrower than on the male armor, and the hip part would have to be wider. The upper torso plates would have to follow the curves in order to give the same level of protection as the male armor(this doesn't look anything like the cliché boob plate armor). Shoulders of the armor would not be as wide as well. Boots would most likely be of smaller size too.

Thanks for mention that there is more than just male armor and "boob armor". Some people just can think in extremes.

You want to conform to what the internet thinks, instead of what it’s actually like in real life.

I conform to what women say on the experiences they have, you got a problem with that? also are you saying what women experience and say online is some how not real too? do they need to put in the news paper to be real or something?

Missing the point again? This is about real world armor. How many people posting on this forum have actually used real armor?

ah I see people are sexists and degenerates when they accept the reality that men have a different build to most women and would like to see that in game too

Sure, you have a different build, but not one you'd notice in a mountain of armor from toe to head. Even the starship troopers females looked the same as the men, outside the size of their arms and legs. Armor doesn't differentiate the looks of the soldiers.

How about some 'moob' armor with added 'belly' support? My thiccness can't fit in those pants. :(

Easy, why produce two sets of armor types for this cannon fodder I mean citizens were sending out there when we can just make 1 size fits all. There just going to die anyway. -Super earth probably

Wait, wait. You mean to tell me I could have ordered some boob-contoured Lv3A plates instead of these flat ones that work just fine??? Oh, they don't exist, who'da thought.

You were expecting massive tiddies armor and tactical thong?

This is realistic armor design, they don't make them custom for women in modern military either.

I really wonder if most people are just trolls or can really not differ games from their reality, by starting to attack other people for different armors. They come up with accusing people want anime-stuff although no one mentioned it and talk about accepting armor of RL, although it is a game. People need to relax and realise that people just have different expectations how a game should look like. Most people really have an issue with their aggressions.
