@ragnarok013Personally I think an armor-system would probably change the TTK of the game way too much.
If the TTK becomes higher than BF1, then the game will become an even more jumping-strafing-superhero gaming than BFV (and more like Apex legends), we don't really need that in BF...
I think the TTK should be like BF4/BFV. And regenerative health should be back (like BF4/BF1).
The gameplay of BFV was partly slowed down because people needed health all the time (attrition), putting another 'resource' in the game will distract players even more from PTFOing. And having armor that increases health 'by a lot', will just slow the game-play down even further, people without armor will "camp" more.
- @cso7777 Everyone would start with Armour it is not a option you can only lose in combat. Medic crates/station are available to be deployed.
There is no reason a player should need to camp long term.
As I indicated TTK would have little impact on most weapons but could create more specialized weapons.
