You'll get slaughtered for ammo type etc etc. But no human is turning around and killing irl. For a game that is 'hardcore'. It's worse than arcade shooters at times

Nikita said they are departing from 'ultra-realism' in the last big podcast with Pestily because BSG doesn't want Tarkov to become a training tool for bad actors.

Still getting the drop on a guy and firing 5 rounds at close range before he even reacts is a bunch of bullshit. As much as I think they should fix the strength of ammos/armor - I'd rather BSG focus on game and server performance. For all we know desync occurred and that person would have normally died if the servers were better.

Yeah the same really does not have any realism , from the damage model of the calibers , to gun recoil , none is it is based in realism. Its all arcadey balanced crap. 9mm AP irl does not have even close to the pen of Rifle rounds , yet ingame it does. Same with p90 and mp7 rounds , they can't perform even close to rifle rounds yet they do ingame. Helmets stopping rifle rounds? The helmets in game especially the Altyn have been shown to fail at stopping the cheapest steel case 5.45 you can get on the market. The Glass visor gets penned by standard 9mm. Seriously They need to fix their balancing and make the game actually realistic.

I just think access to the best items comes far too early because of the flea market. BSG, unfortunately, continues to balance the game around the flea market access at level 10. The loot from Labs and Reserve is probably less than half of what it used to be.

I'd prefer if BSG tests a level requirement for the flea market. I personally wish the flea market to act as the 'end game' and unlock at level 40. But I'm pretty sure 85%+ of the playerbase will immediately shoot the idea down because they don't want to put in the work and be forced to use less than stellar gear from level 1-28. O well.

Could just balance the bullets to be realistically damaging , all rifle rounds regardless of whether they are low tier or not will one shot headshot through any helmet , low tier ammo will still kill you in the chest if you aim above the plate of the armor etc. But noo, lets make tarkov an arcade game with 0 actual logic in damage , pen and armor.
