@Ren ❤️🔥💯 your mod is very good.

@Kardagan
Uniforms also affect balance, and armor only applies to compatible items.
Kardagan 12 Sep @ 1:02pm 
Is it compatible with uniform and armor mods?
UEemperor 10 Sep @ 4:17am 
Disregard, sorry. It was the uniform that was helping the armour be impervious -.-

@UEemperor
Does that mean it can withstand a lot of bullets or is it weaker?
UEemperor 9 Sep @ 9:25am 
Also, the AAF vest is not working (the GA carrier), its bulletspongy still.

Hey there, this is an incredible mod. It has allowed us to fight without wondering why there are terminators in the game!!!!

Would it be possible to make a compat for 3CB factions? They sorely need it.

@AndoArgyll
Thank you for pointing this out! This mod is currently under development, and we aim to standardize it for the purpose of balancing the entire game. (Extreme performance is not yet developed.)
We will fix it in the next update!

Osprey plates are much heavier and thicker than SAPIs. They’re rated for multiple hits by 7.62x54 and have been known to stop 12.7mm rounds. They’re not NIJ Level III 😂

Dear everyone, Recently, ace3 has been adapted to the armor penetration power in proportion to the caliber of the ammunition, so we are working on it now. Until then, it is not appropriate to use this mod. For now, it will be compatible with Vanilla, RF, EF, WS, CUP, and RHS. Thank you for waiting.
