Default Re: Adding Body Armour to the Infantry Units

No, since that would need a completely new game engine, for the new parameter, and to check for it in a zillion places, and to find any unforseen knock-on effects, if added to the code. Plus it would make all scenarios, campaigns and so on toast.

Not going to be done. A soldier with a flak jacket s still a "casualty". He may be off to hospital with his legs blown off, but he is still alive where maybe he would have been dead without it. That affects him and his family perhaps in the real world, but the game effect is the same, one man is no longer able to contribute to the current battle.
