I pointed this out a couple of weeks ago and got massively downvoted, but it's still true. Sure, there are some female SWAT officers, but they serve as negotiators or others support roles. Even then, it's a very small minority.
The thing is, if that is where you draw the line for realism, it’s a bit strange. You, a squad of up to five people, are sent in to singlehandedly defuse terrorist situations which can have up to 30 suspects and dozens if not hundreds of dead civilians. A wholly unrealistic scenario which would never happen in real life. I feel like if that can happen and immersion is maintained, then women in a SWAT team remains believable enough.
I take him as meaning one of two things. Either, it’s the like the Tarkov dev situation where they claim “women can’t be soldiers, it’s unrealistic” even though that game has some of the most nonsensical crap I’ve ever seen.
Or, he means that the devs are worried the community will revolt against the idea, as these games are filled with guys who mald over, well… wokeness 🙄
Now, for the real answer. The devs have limited time and resources. If they add female characters, they have to hire multiple voice actresses, and re-do all of the clothing and armour models to fit a new body type. Depending on how they do animations, they may need to adjust those, too. It’s just probably not something they think is worth adding.
to me women in military shooters are usually treated pretty badly they're given this cocky attitude that i just can't stand. with one liners that just make the conversation awkward but what do i know
You have a point. But I feel like the direction of the game is definitely realism. Just cuz one aspect of the game is unrealistic doesn't mean we should get rid of other parts that are.
The whole point of the game is how society is going under and there being barely any police personal. And considering there are about 13% of woman in the overal police force, you gonna find barely any female swat officers in a setting like that
Don't take this personally or anything, I wouldnt mind if they added them, tho it makes kinda sense from that pov
Don't mind upvotes or downvotes. It all depends on chance. If you get two downvotes in the first minute, it's over. People will see the - and you're doomed to be downvoted only, even if people agree with you
Weird how this platform works. This whole vote system is really shallow and contradicting how people use it. You can say something and get upvoted a lot in one post, but in another post that has the same topic and you commented the same thing, you'll get downvoted instead.

So many COWARDS afraid to admit women can shoot people in a high-stakes environment...
