PASGT, MOLLE, A.L.I.C.E. and Interceptor Body Armor
It is a little confusing, if one tries to get the evolution in body armor and equipment from the 1990ies up to now.
If I understood it right, the PASGT-system should have been the most common body armor of US troops in the Twilight War. The Interceptor body armor had been under evaluation and the first items were fielded in 1997 IRL (Hm, at least that's what Wikipedia says.).
So: Would the Interceptor body armor have been issued to US troops on a wider scale or even earlier than IRL, if the Twilight War had gone off the way, the game says? What about the SAPIs and/or ESAPIs? When were those exactly issued?
I don't want to make this whole thing to complicated, but should an Interceptor body armor (eventually with the SAPI) give a better armor rating?
And, last one at the moment: When were the MOLLE pouches fielded? Would it be a common sight on the Polish battlefield in 2000, would it be rare, or would there be no chance to find these equipment items in the ETO?
