Grok (and many other Anomaly modders), are completely obsessed with Escape from Tarkov. They seem to think every mechanic from the game should be copied over to STALKER.
His ballistic overhaul is an odd one as it basically makes any enemy in heavy armour almost completely immune to non AP rounds. He seems to forget that even if bullets don't penetrate the armour they are still going to be hitting the target like a sledgehammer.
It also causes lag in big firefights as it runs a script whenever a player bullet hits an enemy to determine damage.
Glad I didn't bother with it then and yeah I've noticed this cult-like obsession with Tarkov, I've never played it, but even I couldn't escape from some of the EFT assets and mods. I like the weapon reposition mod and B&S.
Tarkov has some decent ideas I think, and it does have some very nice weapon art.
It's just more I get frustrated with the, "tarkov does it so it must be good!", attitude from a lot of the Anomaly modding community.
Sometimes they remove STALKER systems that already work well. Other than tweaking values, there is no real reason to rip out the existing ballistic system for instance.
