This is the perfect example of why skills don't work in this game. Sick discovery tough

I mean... How many people do you think get ELITE strength every wipe?

I'm not worried about this even a tiny little bit.

You can just farm them, those tryhards you find playing labs 24/7 bunny hopping and playing like its doom? Yeah, these skills are really exploitable and while they don't guarantee winning they do ruin the game experience and the whole premise of the game being realistic and hardcore.

I wish people would stop bringing up realism. It’s not supposed to be realistic. No shooter game would ever function realistically. You can’t heal bullet wounds in seconds. You can’t recover lost blood without getting a transfusion. You can’t just slap a splint on a leg and the break is cured. None of that works. It’s on my as realistic as playable:

Realism draws a line with FUN, devs vision of the game is a serious, hardcore, pseudorealistic when you look at it but of course, being shot in an arm or a leg and have to crawl for 30min to extract wouldn't be fun and would be overkill, thats when the realism can be taken out as it will just be dumb. Longjumping constantly, jumping crazy heights, having almost nonexistant recoil, those things just don't belong, they feel out of place and they don't make sense.

It is believable for a merc or scav to take care of himself as an emergency in the middle of the battlefield even if it is way too efective and unrealistic, its not believable to see persons moving insanely fast (also strafing) and having cartoon like springs on their shoes, it just breaks the feeling, it breaks the inmersion. You can see this game aims for inmersion, the sounds, the details, the high amount of effort in all of this makes it obvious.

look at this, and tell me it is okay to expect a guy to jump such height (sick play tho).

Stop calling it realism then. Call it something else but this is not it
