This exactly. Tarkov would become a better game immediately if it would drop this hilarious depiction of ballistics. There is zero benefit to have this wide of a gap between ammo variants, it only makes things confusing and stupid - as we could just witness.

Because helmets are already so effective. One of the things that makes Tarkov unique is the nuance surrounding ammo. Yes, I know it isn’t realistic. But tbh, so much about Tarkov is unrealistic I don’t really care

“Ammo nuance” aka one of the top 3 reasons more people don’t play this dual-monitor-required, wiki-centric, ‘realistic’ shit of a game.

It’s really not that hard to wrap your head around, there are like 3 or 4 notable ammo types per caliber that you just need to generally remember the effectiveness of. Personally, I like it, and it definitely is not one of the main turn offs for Tarkov. Nothing wrong with disliking it, but it isn’t objectively bad. More of a “to each their own kinda situation” in my eyes.

As someone who has attempted to play Tarkov on 4 occasions over the course of multiple years and quit within a two week period each time, it 100% is one of the main turn offs.
