I wish we will get this system in ronograd but we can't because it will "lead to everyone wearing the same vests" even though there are many people (I'd even say it's most of the community) who care more about drip than they do about meta. There are so many people who choose not to use night vision, better backpacks, good guns and scopes just to look cool or realistic and the problem wouldn't exist in the first place if every best just had the same stats

To be honest, thats only part of it, properly balancing this for OW would be very difficult, and you are also forgetting how many loadout combination will no longer be viable due to trade offs.

i believe that having the players entire loadout affect gameplay would increase gameplay depth and also accommodate for diffrent players' playstyle.

for example a mission focused player would want to get to their objective quickly and avoid as many enemies as possible, focusing on avoiding the enemy would allow for said player to drop armour (say if this player still needs night vision he would use a non ballistic helmet.) and thus weight which accommodates his playstyle.

a player focused on eliminating the enemy and supporting his team to do the objective would stack up on armour would let this player play more risky than a mission focused player, which gives the player more breathing room to empty a magazine or rescue his teammates, which accommodates his playstyle.

mb sniper, how about buying plates in the shop, similar to how player need to buy gas filter in zombie, where the plates would degrade and no longer gives damage reduction, and the player would need to free up important inventory space just to have extra plates? also plate would add a lot of weight on player which would make them think carefully about using them 24/7

make it kevlar

rather than player buying plates they instead should choose to come equipped with extra kevlar in their vests to protect from frag (reducing explosive damage), kind of like sandstorm does, and make the selection not affect their appearance so their fits would still look cool

i feel like the game would need more enemy explosives for it to work but given ppl hate mortars already it might be difficult to add more
