I'm pretty sure there are clipping occasions even when [players are] not wearing armor, though?

Yes, but what we've done is we've basically taken what we call the near plane. I'm not a graphics programmer, but essentially, imagine this is the end of your gun, right? We can basically clip the end of this gun off, and you only see the end of the gun clipped off if you're in high FOV and while you're going out. But the level of improvement this has is incredibly drastic. Right now, we're really struggling with it blocking views on sniper rifles, for example, or assault rifles over 4x. The improvement is monumental. And for the patch after 3.23, we've hopefully got something that is a lot nicer and a lot smoother than that, obviously TBD.
