Armor nerf

[i shitted my diaper]

Armor in battle bit can make or break the moment. one moment your on a small streak on a group but 3 of the 6 are wearing the highest durability armor can easily take a normally lethal dose of bullets with enough health left, leaving the magazine empty and you in very bad situation. on the other hand its nice to have that boost in health against a bigger group so i can see its use, but on a one man flank with the perfect position i cant have that adrenaline rush you'd get from taking that flank because theres so many people who can eat up a whole mag, leaving you to die pretty much. dont take away the armor or lower the durability. but lower the damage fall off, or make the the armor only be able to take a certain amount of hits before it breaks and take its health pool out. i like the armor system but i needs to be more consistent. In a game thats so chaotic it would be nice to have some more consistency.

if any one else had some ideas lets hear em, enything to help with keeping this beauty of a game more consistent among the lovely chaos.

If anything armor needs a buff. It is best turning the occasional killing long range shot to a non lethal one. You might take an extra DMR shot, and you can shrug off a spray of SMG fire at 200m (which is incredibly far). In a protracted fight with revives, and heals the armor is gone and you are left still slow. Tangible penalties to movements and ADS all just to be killed in less than a quarter of a second to a vector or AK 15, or practically any SMG or AR in close quarters to 100+m.

Armor is a double edged sword.
It sucks on the frequent occasions it prevents you from a kill, and it sucks on the frequent occasions that it does not prevent you from dying.
Yet it is one of the few things keeping this games extremely low TTK in check, and you can still not use it for some extreme movement and aiming advantages.

Any nerf to armor would just push Support further into being the worst class, unless the nerf doesn't effect support. Imo armor is one of the most balanced things currently, it's in a good spot
