    IDK about the experience level of British/Aus/NZ/etc. contributors (no offense) but here's a breakdown of some of what you can find in the US, and what might make sense to include:

    NIJ type IIIA vest - proof against handguns and shotguns.

    NIJ type IV Ceramic plates - proof against rifle rounds up to .30-06 AP.

    Modern IIIA vests honestly aren't that cumbersome. A plate carrier, on the other hand, can weigh up to 20lb easily.

    Thirst, food, speed penalties for the PC, maybe reduced non-pack inventory capacity; no penalties for the IIIA vest. Torso bonuses only, if the engine allows - legs, head still vulnerable. Pain and shock if hit, even without blood loss, for either setup.

    Note that all the player models are already depicted as wearing plate carriers anyhow....

    Maybe a 1k damage reduction for the IIIA vest, 5k damage reduction for the level IV SAPI plate carrier?

    Just my humble opinion.

    The Soviet WW2-era Kukuruznik scout biplane would be appropriate for the setting, with some form of VSTOL capability (land on roads, take off in a field, etc.) This plane is an agricultural, cropduster-ish dinosaur...able to be kept running after the zombie apocalypse, and more believable in Chernarus than a microlight.

    They'd have two seats and some minor storage capacity. Would be a great machine for "heroes" looking to jet across the map for a blood transfusion.

    I personally think that aside from relics like the Kukuruznik, you'd almost never see any civilian-owned aircraft in an Eastern Bloc country, even today. Given the number of former combloc central-European and quasi-Slavo-Balkan states joining NATO, receiving free weapons, and standardizing on NATO equipment and ammunition, the Huey is somewhat believable.

    On some of the higher-end pistols, would it be reasonable to add Tritium glow-in-the-dark night sights? Trijicons have a functional life of around a decade. Possible candidates might be the M9SD and the G17.

    Kind of redundant with a reticle, but would make a difference in night engagements on servers without crosshairs.

    Also pretty simple to do. Probably not a big deal, but an interesting little detail.
