Linden, I had a good chuckle at your post, specifically this part,
Check out regular columnist Peter Hitchens for some vintage ranting. Or better yet, don't.
Hey Zvezda, don't worry about your use of the English language because it's very good. I take into account that English is a second or third language for you and not the language you were "born into".
You also have the situation that on forums such as this one, there are three slightly different versions of English in use - British, American and Australian. For those of us who were born into English, we adapt fairly quickly between the three different versions but for someone else, it can sometimes be confusing!
For the journalists and editors from the Daily Mail however, this is the language they've used since they learnt to speak, read and write. Because they are in the business of presenting information to the public, I demand a higher standard from them
And back to the topic of the armour - Zvezda, I think your treatment is good. Has anyone had a chance to playtest it yet?
I have some thoughts to offer, specifically because the timeframe of DC allows us to increase the improvement a bit and in the real world, body armour improvements mean we are seeing the same level of protection as earlier armour but using thinner garments.
The boron-carbide would make the shirt very resistant to wear & tear and damage from bullets but as Zvezda noted, the thin material means impact damage will still be significant.
I think we could have 2nd generation shirts in use for DC in which the armour value could be AV2 or perhaps AV1 but giving all the benefits of a 1990s era kevlar vest without the weight and bulk?
