I'm not talking about which side you're on in a game.
When you play for the first day after a wipe, or if you, like me, are one of the old farts from a the first few builds, you remember that enemies, especially militia/standard hoovs, tend to take a rather large number of bullets to the face. Then, around the first week or so, everyone has Ved their primary gun skill (a 1-3x, depending on weapon slot) and possibly weaponry(a 1x) and you may as well be wearing wet tissue paper, which gets worse as they work on their proficiency(a 3-5x). What is a merc to do? Well, if you want to counter a single 2x skill, you first need to boost a few 2-5x skills to raise your standard HP or unlock modules meant to raise your HP (for a cost), then you need to raise an 8x skill for whatever suit you're wearing and to choose whether you want shields or armor, then you have to raise a few 1x skills to get an extra bit of fitting here and there if things are off. Then you have to equip it all and lose it to one person's pimped out gun on a militia fitting.
Is this at all balanced?
