[VOTE] KEVLAR

[Rutobia]

I think the old system should be brought back, according to the spreadsheet Pollux posted about the weapon balance, the Makarov does 24 damage and takes 11 shots to kill someone wearing kevlar which totals up to 264 damage. You have to at least do 240 as that's 10 shots with the Makarov. So people are currently more tanky than they were with the old system because 50% reduction should pretty much double your health, not to mention people have an incentive to RDM police because used kevlar drops from them, I see people RDMing cops and rushing to grab the kevlar every now and then when admins aren't on. Not to mention the act of needing to change plates around constantly to keep your armor up just wastes time and feels a little tedious when in a firefight or a raid. As for it promoting RP, I have yet to see someone actually RP while putting the plates on, it simply just forces a raid to slow down and adds another thing you need to press a keybind to replenish. It doesn't really add enough to replace the old system. There could be another use for mining that doesn't involve kevlar, or the act of mining could be made a little less mindless some how.
