(Hypothetical) West Germany v. Mujahideen circa 2009 CE

[Kartoffel]

A recent article in the Wall Street Journal inspired me to launch a digital military campaign via winSPMBT involving the real world antagonists: Deutchland and طالبان.

During the resultant skirmish between the human controlled Taliban and the computer controlled German forces, I noticed that the German "Jagers" were suffering peculiarly high causalities from industrial age weapons the Taliban commonly use compared with friendly forces that are reported on the news networks.

I investigated the matter and determined that they were not modeled as wearing ballistic vests with rifle resistant ceramic trauma plates. I know not whether this is because the Germans do not posses this technology or whether the game does not model it, only that the German casualties were at about 2 to 1 in my favor with no handicap placed on the AI.

My first question is: would it be possible to model bullet resistant ballistic vests with ceramic trauma plates by increasing the "survivability" value a bit?

My second and third questions are: Do Germans posses the "baseball catchers" armor like American forces do? If so, are they known to use this technology on the field of battle?

Thanks for reading and responding.

Sincerely Yours,
Kartoffel
