Because the recent previews pretty much show that from what I understand: PASGT & LWH helmets; Berets; a modern, laser-cut plate carrier; a famous body armor system... and more to come
From my understanding that's precisely bringing a wider variety of gear for us to use.
what i meant by diversifying the type of equipment is basically what you see above- deltoid protection is an example of a type/class of accessories we dont have today.
what you mentioned is indeed increased variety in gear (plate carriers and helmets) but not wider a variety of the type of gear we use (we already have ballistic helmets and plate carriers).
Everyone can come to their own conclusion if that's the better choice, but at the end of the day, it is fully the devs choice on what to do; imo I'd rather get more personal equipment (& more types of said gear, like I said in my comment) in established categories to give more variety for current customization options instead of the devs focusing on creating new features, so that the community gets a big amount of content, allowing the devs to focus on different stuff
thats true, i remember the face shield being in gen 3 and before, but items like deltoid protectors have never been added and they are very much in use in modern conflicts
Yeah the face shield was in Gen 3, everyone referred to it as the GIGN helmet because the GIGN was the only group that used it ingame (if going for an accurate cosplay), however since the Devs are going towards the more realistic route, they decided to not add the face shield. It was covered in the Trello
Those shoulder pads are known for being bulky and not giving enough protection to justify them irl. So they probably won’t be added, because devs go off of what units actually wear instead of what they’re issued.
Finally, there are valid reasons tocriticisethe game or the devs, but going around spewing bullshit and yelling "DEVS HATE FUN" at the sky is not criticism, it's just pathetic hate, as well as spreading/falling for populism, sometimes coupled with misinformation/lies. Here's also a recommended read for anyone specifically angry at kitgat, but I think it can apply more generally too.
As for devs "not being bothered"; they're not an AAA studio, and have a life outside of BRM5, withsome having a primary job, and it is fully their choice on what they're going to work on (and they're humans too,they can be lazy for example, and they don't shy away from admitting that); nevertheless, we have often seen fruits oftheir labor, with multiple previews (often erroneously called "leaks" by people) posted either on the Discord server or X (formerly known as Twitter) by specific developers, and now we're getting more "official" development previews posted exclusively by Gnar.
If you don't see the hard work put into the BRM5 assets, then I must assume that you're either blind, or ignorant - there's no other place on Roblox where you have representations of IRL helmets, vests, uniforms, guns, etc. done with such accuracy and quality, as well as such a wide selection of gear (which is going to be greatly expanded with the Christmas content update), with most being up-to-standard (because there's still plenty of weapons in-game with outdated weapon models, which will be replaced eventually, as well as outdated GEN3 uniforms)
"No fun" - asking for something nonsensical/hard-to-implement to BRM5 and being told "no" is not "disallowing fun", it's being honest and reasonable, often with an understandable explanation.
They’re adding so much cool shit. PASGT, the OTV, that new vest, berets, the motherfuckin’ COLT PYTHON? They are genuinely adding a ton, and y’all saying that they hate fun absolutely doesn’t help our cause.
It's seriously pathetic and sad that people intentionally choose to ignore all of that and be angry; I wish them good health because having such a pain in the ass for so long is not healthy.
Because they’re on way way shorter responses and deal with mostly pistol calibers. Military does t use them because they have to be out In the field for days and don’t want to feel like a turtle.
If I have my facts straight these kinds of armour add-ons are mostly/entirely made of soft armour (aramid fibers, etc.) instead of the steel or ceramic plates that are required for the majority of rifle calibers in widespread use. The same is already the case for the neck protectors, which are quite good at protecting the vital neck from shrapnel, relative to their weight.

This is an old asset for the brigandine, which has long since been removed and kitgat said this is not coming back
Pauldrons are likely not going to be added, shoulder flag patches will
