Armored nerf idea/riflemen buff.

[eager bison]

Riflemen need help and one of the ways it can get help is that it's the hard counter to armored.
Even if it's unrealistic for armored to chew up machine gun bullets and die to to a rifle bullet.
I think a good way to make riflemen stronger is that they can down armored with 1 shot but armored is still strong against storms and automatics and grenades.

I also hate armored as a class

[pallid geyser]

I love the class . Tbh don’t nerf armored on health but fuck yeah this would not such a bad idea. If you take a big rifle round you’re at least probably gonna get knocked on your ass realistically once .

[wintry yoke]

i'd rather get killed in two rifle shots as armoured instead of getting knocked down, that sounds miserable

[eager bison]

It's fun playing armored but playing against the class as riflemen it's one of the most annoying classes to run against.
You can shoot them twice and they have to shoot you once.

[pallid geyser]

The likelihood is the same though you’d be dead just as quick this way but the rag dolls could be funny

[slender hamlet]

Or yk, take away the ability for armored to pick up any weapons on the field

Giving an armored a Lewis gun, madsen, or MG08 is absolute hell

I think armored should not have the ability to sprint as long as they can, either

Trade mobility for survivability

[woven merlin]

Let armored pickup other weapons, it's not like the average life is that long anyways.

Perhaps give rifleman the ability to switch to armored piercing ammunition. The germans used bullets loaded backwards before adopting dedicated AP K bullets. Could have a dedicated key to load that ammo type or select it as part of the class' kit.

[teal void]

Make the armor more effective at distance and noneffective against rifle bullets at close range.

So you would get one shotted by a rifleman at close range but at long range you would get a 2nd or 3rd chance

Pistols would struggle more against the armor also shotguns

[woven merlin]

When hitting the armored torso, a chance to bounce hits that are below a set damage value might feel good.

If it was say 100 then bolt actions would be guaranteed penetration at shorter ranges, but pistols and buckshot could bounce and do no damage.

[valid hearth]

I feel like armored is fairly balanced having almost no stamina to run long distance, and a meager selection of grenades vs other classes

If you were still able to were able to be one shot by the most common class, then what's the point of the armored class at all?

[woven merlin]

I’m personally not a member of the Armored Haters Club.

I don’t want to see it be able to be 1-shot all the time. If any major changes are made to its vulnerability then I’d like to see the class receive better movement.

I find it funny that the flamethrower runs normal, but armored has trash stamina even though it was like 1/3 the weight of full Wex flamer.

[grave pendant]

More i play, the more i think armored players should have their resistance based on range. Im not asking for something crazy, like 100 meters to get the full affect of your armor, but im getting kinda fucking tired of armored "knights" armed with pistols and swords consistently stat checking the supposed CQB classes, and multiple riflemen at once. They should be defensive midrange fighters IMO, not aggressive pushers.

[ember grove]

the point of the armored class is literally storming trenches you goof

the entire point of the armor is so once you get into the trenches you get into melee combat

they are quite literally knights

you know THESE guys

[tame token]

no

It's why their grenades were nerfed

first off in case it's being implied it absolutely was not the case irl they were the very opposite

Second in-game armored has both close range and long range options

the single shot rifle is not a storming weapon

[ember grove]

what are you even on about

[tame token]

I'm stating that neither irl nor in game is the main point of an armored soldier to storm trenches.

[ember grove]

THEN WHAT WAS IT USED FOR SMART GUY

[tame token]

sentries

[tame token]

units in static positions

[tame token]

Do not use AI for history.

[tame token]

also arditi did not wear farina armor

WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY THINK WW1 COMBAT IS ABOUT

WHAT'S A FUCKEN WW1 FRONTLINE MADE OF YOU GOOBER WORD PREDICTION ALGORYTHM

[ember grove]

Obviously, right, because they are never seen in it once. https://tenor.com/view/roblox-mighty-omega-gif-22253898

Your sentence does not make sense.

[slender hamlet]

Does this source say how many plates were issued? I’m curious if it was widespread

[tame token]

this one doesn't but i think some other might... maybe go ask in the history channel of blackmill's server

[slender hamlet]

I’ll take a look at 6th army field issue orders, see if I can find anything

[jade solar]

tl;dr everyone in this thread agrees armored should be nerfed.

[valid hearth]

Armored is fine

[wintry yoke]

actually buff armored, riflemen have it too good

[valid hearth]

Armored is honestly totally fine being powerful in its niche as a close combat trench clearer.

Its stamina is so abysmal that you are a sitting duck running over any length of exposed battlefield outside of a trench.

[dense eagle]

Armored should not be protected from the rear. Bare minimum. Their survivability and one shot kill ability gives them a really big advantage.

Another 💡: Make armor be a separate health bar that doesn't get refilled at a first aid station

Another 💡: big naturals
