Military equipment that seems unimportant can actually prove critical to the survival of front-line soldiers, subtly influencing their decisions and affecting their casualty rates.
Items such as raincoats, waterproof materials, and insulation materials may not seem vital on a regular basis, but when the time comes, they can offer soldiers safer options for their operations.
Snipers from the Great Tang Empire can use waterproof materials to set up hidden temporary positions without risking exposure by occupying buildings that are easily targeted; this is their advantage.
On the other hand, Dahua Empire's snipers lack these novel gadgets. They have raincoats, but these are sourced from civilian factories, with designs meant for civilian use, leading to many non-professional aspects in detail.
Such raincoats, without special reinforcement, tear easily at critical points and are inconvenient to wear, leading many soldiers to avoid using them.
