Here is the full armor rating, from least to most protecting ( I have not seen a plus with the A veriants but others have said they have in my chat ): Type I Type IIA Type IIA+ Type II Type II+ Type IIIA Type IIIA+ Type III Type III+ Type IV en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor_performance_standards#NIJ_armor_standard_(United_States)

Recon Plate Carrier (III+) seems to be bugged. Far more consistent results with III vs Tiger Bay AI.

Try to get handshake to level two as fast as possible you will get level 3 lancer vests. Anything below 3 is basically useless 3 is where rifle protection starts

Steel Armor types is more durable and will take more hits than the ceramic types as well. So your durability will remain higher with steel per hit.

What I’ve noticed though is you have less of a chance of taking bruising or other forms of non-penetrating damage. I get knocked out more often with steel armor, all of it is just anecdotal

I wondered why the armor ranking was so weird but now I get it. It’s cool they base it off of reality bc otherwise they could make it easier to understand by going with conventional ranking that you see in games. Like for example green, blue, purple, orange tier armor

Yeah it was confusing at first but after doing some research and finding this, it’s not too bad to understand :-)

Loving you informative videos, I find them extremely useful as the game does lean towards you finding your own way. Keep them coming 👍🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 PS, the gun mod video was brilliant, I’d never have figured that out otherwise!

Only problem I think there is, is that IIIA only stops handguns. Any 5.56 or 5.45 will go through it. III does stop all of these including 7.62s. Assuming that game follows real life.

@@petercreemers4964 IIIA definitely stops 7.62 and 5.56 in the game but a lot of the ammo is soft point so I dunno how much an impact that makes. I don't know enough about ballistics lol.

Bullets penetration is something I want to experiment with next to get more of an understanding. Think we may need to get together to do this Hudsz and test different ammo with armor value. At least for the main used ammo like 762, 556 and what ever the mosin uses etc

Can you guys please help me? I don’t like Tarkov, because I am too bad to get good guns and the right type of ammunition. It feels like I am shooting at a tank and the pebbles fall to the ground. For me I can’t get into it and for me it feels unfair. Is it like that in Gray Zone too? Do I need a good gun with the right type of ammunition or can I kill someone with normal ammunition just as good as someone who is a pro and has a stash full of money, armors and penetration ammunition?

Hard to say what the outcome will be 4 days into the wipe but the game has decent weapons available at start, they cheap and you can earn money very easily by doing the missions. There is better ammo to buy when you level up traders, also the game has both a PvP server and a PvE server, the character you make can switch between either server without losing progress and swapping to a different character. So basically if you had a bad time in PvP, lost gear and money. You can switch to PvE and do the quests with no worry of PvP and gain money back. Hell if you don’t like PvP at all, you can just play PvE only

@@SiNisterFPS Oooh ok! That does sound good. I do like PvP but not if I am losing like 80-90% of the times and I lose all the progress with using everything I had until I’m naked. Then you’re fighting against pros or others that are stacked and you just sit there trying but dying haha. Doesn’t feel good for me. If that happens i can switch to PvE only with my same progress and well, get back up to then get into PvP again with proper equipment? That would be a cool approach to it atleast for the bad players haha. Thanks for answering!
