Chinese body armor...
After doing some research at my friends house(to settle an argument and lets just say i won
) i have found out that most of the Chinese military DOES NOT Use body armor. Only SF units and swat style police get them in mass, the regular army gets nothing. Turns out all those pics of PLA soldiers with what seems to be armor is in fact just a tactical vest to hold gear. So i guess this is more of a question then a suggestion but will you guys take away the chinese armor health points or w/e??? Making it easier to kill them of course.

Yeah after thinking about it for a bit i figured as much. It would be way to cheap and easy for the other team to win. Remove this thread then.'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino']I think it is safe to say we are not going to remove body armor from the PLA troops for loads of reasons.

The QBZ-95 is not yet issued across the board, only to the PLA's and PLAM's best units. Thier SF, if you want to put it that wayironcomatose wrote:After doing some research at my friends house(to settle an argument and lets just say i won) i have found out that most of the Chinese military DOES NOT Use body armor.

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.

Or maybe we accept the fact that the troops represented in PR are the elite units of the PLA, armed and equipped with the best Chinese Military Technology has to offer.
The Current PLA forces in PR represent just that. Thier tank is the Type 99, while 2/3s of the PLA's armoured units are still equipped with the Type 59 (a copy of the T-55) and modernised variations of it.
The Troops in PR represent the PLA's crack units tooled up with the latest equipment.

Well, Insurgents have the shorter spawn to simulate a large force.
Having shorter spawn times doesnt mean, that PLA can go VBIED now, they would still have their armor and vehicles...
Then again, Im only suggesting, doubt, Devs would want it this way...
But hey, maybe then people would want to play PLA more...

Did you get that from Command & Conquer: Generals? I know the devs won't take away the body armor from the PLA soldiers because of balancing issues but here's an idea, how about take away their armor and give the PLA soldiers a shorter spawn time? This shows the many numbers of the PLA. Perhaps this happens, each army can have pros/cons, advantages/disadvantages, etc...Strategist wrote:The Chinese may not have body armour but they have the mighty horde bonus.
Edit: Okay, apparently this was just suggested a few minutes ago. Didn't the see the previous posts before this one.

probably better to leave the no body armour but shorter respawn time to the insurgents
PLA only has a bit over 2 million troops
actually the whole world don't even have 300 million troopsArmedDrunk&Angry wrote:I heard the PLA is about 300 million men so their "spec ops" troops would be as large as most countries armies wouldn't it ?

If what Bob_Marley is saying is the situation then they would not be as large in numbers hence would not recieve the shorter spawn bonus. I know your not suggesting this but I just thought I would comment before someone runs with this.Outlawz wrote:Well, Insurgents have the shorter spawn to simulate a large force.

Indeed, the PLA is currently cutting raw numbers and improving training and equipment to make its self a more modern and flexible force. Its currently undergoing these changes, so in the PR timescale, it is realistic to think that they would be nearing completion by the time of the conflict.
