What weapon do you think need buff?

[Gladius]

That's not a dent.

A dent is it bending inwards.

That's it cracking and bits falling out. But the main structure of the plate is still intact. Like concrete almost. It even says "inelastic" in the thing lol.

The point is that this statement is nonsense:

Steel catches the bullet absorbing its force. Unlike a ceramic plate which pushes that force back into the round shattering it. Unless of course you get a really really think steel plate.

Depending on the impact force both materials will get damaged. Ceramic fractures and steel bends. Both get "dents" if you want to call it that way. If not you are nitpicking.

Id say the M134 needs a buff too.

The miniguns on the AC-47?

No, the Loach & Cobra gunner's weapons

Well when you pick and choose obscure definitions of words then yeah it does sound silly.

offtopic guys.

No weapon is overpowered or underpowered. End of thread.

Or we can talk about something else

+1 for the mosin-nagant.
Shot a GI in the back under 10m ( he was crouched and still), he just turned around, aimed, killed me with 1 m16 bullet as I was bolting for a second shot...like nothing happened to him and i have a bunch of death like that. I was lying and not out of breath)

The biggest issue I have at the moment is that Vietcong weapons feel too close in power to the USA weapons. The Southern forces are supposed to have an advantage in technology to counteract the challenge of attacking on most maps. However, there are some noticeable instances where Northern weapons simply outperform their US counterparts, and that's a shame.

Specifics: most US iron sights are horrendous. Claymores are garbage. M14 is inferior. Grease gun should shoot somewhat faster and have a better iron sight. US shotguns need a buff in general - they are just bad.

Vietcong submachine guns are overall too effective relative to US shotguns and the Grease.

RPD is absurdly accurate, great iron sight, and comparable damage to The Pig. That's offensive, and stupid to boot. The core guns of any army are their grunt guns (m16 - needs less obtrusive sight) and machine gunners (The Pig needs more damage, better iron sight, more suppression).

Definitely agree on the iron sights, and it's frankly ridiculous that TWI & AMG hasn't addressed this yet despite all the people having complained about it. Lost a lot of faith in the devs because of how they handled (or rather didn't handle) this.

I wish the Ithaca Model 37 had slam fire, IIRC in game it takes 5-6 seconds to fire off 8 round, IRL it takes 2 second to fire 8 rounds.

Steel armor is better at taking a lot of hits, ceramic armor is better at keeping your ribs from being broken. When the ceramic cracks it dissipates a lot of the energy, steel transfers most of the energy it to the wearer. After ceramic has been hit a couple of times it's just a bag of dust and concrete, but if you're getting shot that much you're probably going to get shot in your unprotected face, neck, gut, groin, deltoid or femoral arteries. The ground troops during the Vietnam war was either issued no body armor or a "flak jacket" made of ballistic nylon (marine's M55 vests also had doron plates) these were only meant to stop shrapnel, although they could stop pistol bullets too, a rifle round would go straight through. But since pilots didn't have to walk anywhere they would be issued vests with heavy ceramic plates that weighed around 20 to 30 lbs, there were a million different variants and they were always in demand, so some helicopter crewmen had to make do with grunt flak jackets. Many helicopter pilots were also issued groin protectors made of ballistic nylon, they were nicknamed diapers and were uncomfortable to wear, most pilots left them behind or sat on top of them instead of wearing them. The Huey also had armored seats for the pilots, but the rest was unarmored.

well M3 already have better sight than it should, it was even worse irl. hah

Not quite, you should try one out. Granted it's not as good as other peep sights, it's definitely not as obstructive as ingame when your eyes adjust looking through it.

Same goes for the L1A1.
