Still would require balancing.
I like how it is now because you have 3 main choices: MA MKII against EW (or if you just don't have CAs), CA for that protection or CA MKII for protection and style (IF you have the patience to find and repair a good one).
I'd say it's balanced right now, you put BAs back and we'll just see the same old crap all over the place.
I would love new items but balancing is important for diversity and tactics.
i dont see your point , if these armors were impletended everything would be fine ... whats the different of everybody wearing CAs or BAs , i dont get it ... eitehrway they are not easy to craft if it were possible CA > CA MKII > BA
the only problem devs have i guess is that they dont want too many armors becasue if its so the rest that isnt obtainable becomming straight a rare item > more rarez > better game idk ...
in first way they should balance weapons ... sniper is shit compared to the rest , they should balance the bypass and knockdown things for that but its only my opinion , who the fuck is alice ?
