Description
I always liked the look of NATO's bulky armor but felt that they do not protect as well as their appearance. This mod adds a lot more armor to NATO vests, uniforms, and helmets. Uniforms now have the same protection level as CSAT uniforms. Vests have more protection as a whole. The Carrier lite and Carrier rig are now the same in armor, along with Carrier GL and Carrier Special. The combat helmets also share the same armor levels.

Hi bro, how are you, how are you, health, well-being. I ask for permission to pack this mod of yours into my mod. in the description, I will specify a link to the mod and its name. If you drop the link to the discord, then I will specify the discord.

Just noticed someone ask how to edit armor values.
it works on all mods but be wary of publicly uploading such things without permission from original makers, personal use might be ok.

This is how I did it:
1. unpack the PBO file with PBO Manager. keep all unpacked files.
2.find the configuration bin file- depending on mod, you may have to really search for it.
3.convert the configuration bin file to a Cfg file with Arma 3 Tools.
4.open the configuration Cfg with Visual Studio Code.
5.locate the armor value and change it.
6.save your changes.
7.use Arma 3 tools to convert the configuration Cfg back into bin format and put it back with the unpacked files from the PBO.
8.use PBO Manager to repack the files into a PBO file.

It should work though I might not have covered everything, also the edited mod is a local mod so it needs mounting to play it which can be done from the Arma 3 launcher.

Any chance of including the new marine carrier rigs, uniforms, and helmets from the dlc?

-update about editing the armor values: I just tested putting the armor value at 50000 and noticed a difference so looks like there isn't too much of a limit after as long as you can fit a large number of zeros into the value.

About the editing the armor values: it appears there is a "maximum limit" to how high the armor value can go regardless to how high the value is set; somewhere between 1000 and 2500. Which makes a full health wearer of the vest alone able to take 7 shots from the Apex DLC AKM without dying...though the health be so low at that point that they'll die from a rock being thrown at them.

Though nice to know armor values in mods can be edited with the some available software: Arma 3 tools and Visual Studio Code for those who ask.

Also i don't know if you have the SOG dlc but any chance for a similar mod for that?

You can edit the values of any armor.
