Are you being sarcastic, or are you really serious?

irl all of the squaddies where the same protection..... the only thing the support gunner need is more ammo (haven't played the newest beta so I dont know if thats fixed for 0.6)

Sorry I feel like Im stalking you and shooting down all of you suggestions, think you need to think them through a bit more before posting, no offense just a tip.

You are wrong. Like i said in you OTHER body armor thread body armor doesnt make you a super soldier that take bullet after another in the chest because he has body armor. 5 bullets to take down someone? I think there is a game like that already...im pretty sure you have even played it. Stop the obsession with body armor and move on.

Automatic riflemen/machinegunners have a short sprint distance in game because they are carrying a heavier primary weapon and ammunition. Every man in a squad/platoon wears the same helmet and vest.
