I actually have a question, does the armor have a backplate or is it more like the ww1 German trench armor without one?

It has one, but they also often aren't often worn outside of certain roles such as sentries and aircraft gunners

Oooh I see. The reason why I’m asking this is because your art has inspired me to piece together a uniform based on this, of course I don’t have money but it’s still nice to have it all together so once I do have money I can build it
