Description
I always liked the look of NATO's bulky armor but felt that they do not protect as well as their appearance. This mod adds a lot more armor to NATO vests, uniforms, and helmets. Uniforms now have the same protection level as CSAT uniforms. Vests have more protection as a whole. The Carrier lite and Carrier rig are now the same in armor, along with Carrier GL and Carrier Special. The combat helmets also share the same armor levels.

About the editing the armor values: it appears there is a "maximum limit" to how high the armor value can go regardless to how high the value is set; somewhere between 1000 and 2500. Which makes a full health wearer of the vest alone able to take 7 shots from the Apex DLC AKM without dying...though the health be so low at that point that they'll die from a rock being thrown at them.

Though nice to know armor values in mods can be edited with the some available software: Arma 3 tools and Visual Studio Code for those who ask.

Also i don't know if you have the SOG dlc but any chance for a similar mod for that?

You can edit the values of any armor.

I have a question, is it possibly to do this yourself but to like all armor?

It's a good idea to increase the strength of body armor, but unfortunately this mod impossible to use, because it distorts the NATO / CSAT balance. I ran a test and saw, it takes 10-9 shots to kill a NATO soldier, while killing a CSAT soldier takes 1-2 shots

Are you also going to make a mod that increases CSAT's vest to same armor as NATO?

@LuizBarros99 I could split this up into multiple pbos inside the mod folder so you can just delete what you don't want.
@apisorn18 I can't do CUP.

Could you upgrade armor from CUP mod?

Hey, would there be any chance of a version of the "Protective Gear Upgrade" mods without added protection to the vests?
Because when playing with ACE mod, one turns into too much of a walking tank/bullet sponge if an uniform that provides protection AND a vest such as the Carrier GL Rig are equiped at the same time. Other than that I really like this mod a lot.
