M65 Field Jacket vs. Tactical Shirt

[dustwalker 0]

So, I've been wondering why so many players favor the Tactical shirt over the M65 jacket. I mean, comparing the statuses of both clothes, the M65 is better. Check why (my opinion):

- Less absorbency than the shirt

- WAY more slots

- Same camouflage

- It's common, whereas the shirt is rare.

Tactical = Tacticool

The m65 jacket is common in residentials but the tactical shirt is common in military.  I think a lot of people who play are really dull and just go straight for the military loot, which is why everyone ends up looking the same.

 

My personal experience is people usually wear the gorka or other camo stuff though, I don't really see that many people wearing tactical shirts.

I try avoid military clothes all together so I don't look "geared". The idea being people are less likely to kill me on sight... It doesn't work.

I wear the hunting spring jacket. It's green and 6 slots.

I seldom wear Tactical Shirts. TTSKO has a much better camouflage pattern, similar absorbency, similar protection and larger storage space. Most people I see with Tactical Shirts from experience is someone who's been shot and needed a quick replacement for their ruined clothing. I don't mind going for the Tacticool Operator appearance with a Tactical Shirt though, sporting a fully decked out plate carrier, cargo pants and the blackest AK74 I can find.

 

I also don't see M65s often, simply because they can be a little hard to find and don't offer the best camouflage patterns.

I haven't seen a tactical shirt since forever, but I'd prefer the m65 anyway.  I hate having to drop things for lack of carry space.  and I seem to overheat a lot when I wear a hunting jacket and pants.

Tactical shirt.... last time I've seen one was back in 0.2x

More storage slots is all that matters to me. Plus I don't like the American flag on the tactical shirt, as a dirty non-American myself.

Its kinda strange that you cant wear the jacket over the shirt. Yesterday when it was cold I wore a t-shirt, shirt, sweater and jacket. And I didnt get overheated and died.
