Description
Are You Operator Enough to play the Shield Operator Class? Pistol only, no ADS, no sprint, but impenetrable cover!
He seems a lot like Mikee!
Good eyes! That is Mikee's head with Operator beard. We may introduce some head options in the future.
impenetrable to pistol and shotgun caliber rounds only I hope :/
Like if I open up on it with a 7.62x39mm M43 AK-47 I expect to punch through it like a hot knife through butter much like how my Polish AKM punches through steel railroad ties like butter a 8-900 meters with no real issues aside from my own aiming ability.
You seem quite knowledgeable regarding ballistics and penetration regarding shields. We strive for realism when ever possible, but to get shields into insurgency we have to work within what insurgency provides. It's been quite a journey and more than a couple compromises. We hope you enjoy the gameplay that is possible with the implementation we have. All armor is very accurate as far as what rounds it can defeat at what range. The shield, however, must be impenetrable due to limitations outside of our control. This is why we went ahead with a heavier shield model than what we had previously and it also blocks your view in first person.
interesting so if its basically an AR resistant armor plate what kind of load out weight can we expect to see?
Basically how much weight are you going to give it?
It's very heavy, also prevents you from sprinting or going prone. We will adjust weight as needed for balance based on gameplay too.
yea i can live with that ... given the engine limitations in this case id say this is a fair / practical solution.
