Is there a way to modernize the classic wide-brimmed helmet?
>>64945017Second one in panel two but make the sides extend over the back of the neck. If it was flexible it could snap or velcro to the collar of your vest so there would be no gaps.
>>64945033>Tactical morionFund it.
>>64945040Logically a reinforced crest with a spaced gap could help with direct hits from VOGs dropped from above and the edge could help with........And with a command detonated quad copter if they lower their head towards it.......and....and....Fuck, it's a cope cage helmet isn't it?No no no, just give the standard pot a little cape that attaches to the collar.
>>64945078Sounds like the Adrian helmet.
>>64945017Reinforce highway patrol hats with dense kevlar and a plate insert
>>64945017Possibly apocryphal but I also remember reading old scans of helmet development documents from the inter war era, but the problem with the kettle hat is directing shrapnel directly into your brain for the same reason it's so good protecting your face, shoulders and neck in melee combat. What we really need is a high speed tactical bascinet >Already has a Nods mount >Coms and adaptive ear pro just put in the helmet shell, use the crown for storage space above the suspension liner>Protects the neck and base of skull better than modern sallet derivative helmets >Option for kevlar pelagrin/aventail for additional neck protection
>>64945017

I hate women representing nations/soldiers. Especially anime styled women.
>>64946191it's a long-standing traditioneven the ancient Romans had Roma as a personification of the city and the Roman state as a whole
>>64946216Grok, is this true?
>>64946191I do too but my penis likes it so I tend to let it slide.
>>64946191>>64946246see >>64946216brown much?
>>64946267>its just like my animesShut the fuck up retard.
>>64946229https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_(personification)
>>64946293>its just like my animesyeah I don't see anyone but browns or gays screeching about something that has been white European tradition since antiquity.I can see I touched a nerve though.
>>64945017Its already modernized, just slap a camo on it.
>>64946191>nationsHas been the case since the notion of a nation came into existence.>soldiersThat one is kinda cringe and mostly stems from anime+coomers.>>64946229>>64946295They also loved depicting defeated peoples as women. Like Vespasian's coins depicting Judea in chains following the conquest of Jerusalem. Pretty sure the entire peoples/provinces are women thing is a Roman invention.
>>64946191>I hate women representing nationsBut why?>Especially anime styled womenWhy?
>>64946191
>>64946306>it's actually TRAD EVROPEAN CVLTVRE to obsess over japanese bullshit
>>64947474where the fuck are you getting anime out of this you illiterate weeb faggot?
>>64947474Technically yes. As early as the bronze age you can see an interest or even obsession with oriental shit that has always existed. The point of interest simply kept shifting further east as Europeans made contact with new eastern cultures.
>>64947474>>64947506We saw it as trinkets of conquest. Like the victorians strip mining asia of all sorts of weird exotic plants. Saved a few from extinction btw. Americans, using the term European loosely, also saved the blackbuck. Kek.
>>64947456Were Romans the original waifufags?
>>64946191Call me when you've finished being a homosexual.
>>64946191You sound brown and gay.
>>64946191faggot
>>64946191That's why hetalia is superior and based.
>>64947585Go away, fujoshitter.
>>64947635I don't post yaoi hands, I don't post bara, I'm not a womanbut you still hating
>>64945017this was solved over a century ago but no nation is willing to spend the equivalent of the price of a chocolate bar for it because the frontline goyim are supposed to die
>>64947696Good point, put a hershey bar in their MRE and they go wild no need for the kettle hat
>>64947710sorry, best we can do is veggie omelete
>>64947713Fried red pepper omelet is really good, actuallyTastes real sweet depending on the pepper you got from locals
>>64947696Wasn't this design thrown out of the window after the Italians tried something similar and ended up getting slaughtered?
>>64945017Obsolete helmet design that assumes projectiles will only be raining down on you and not come up from below. Also assumes that the forebrain is the most important part of your brain, rather than the cerebellum. A hit to the forebrain is survivable, a hit to the cerebellum results in paralysis. And right next door is the pons, which controls stuff like heartbeat.We have boring designs because they work, not because old designs were unfairly discontinued.
>>64947920The source that image is from is Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare by Bashford Dean. You can find it on the internet archive. That one was only experimental but would stop a 45acp at 850 fps and weighed 8.5 pounds. Every nation that fought in WW1 experimented with body armor. And there was way more than people think, both issued and commercial. Real rifle rated armor was very rare and very heavy. There was the Brewster body armor, it could stop 303 at the muzzle but weighed 40 pounds and made you look like a trash can.
>>64947473/u/
>>64946191I partially agree. I personally have more problems with the increasing number of females in game characters. Men are partly to blame for that by the way.
>>64947946But if I get hit in the forebrain and live then I might turn into a meanie
>>64948103YAOI
>>64948121Love wins.
>>64948127Kissing gayorgians?I rather die.
Since we're doing this, does anyone have the period anthropromorized depiction of the Rosalie bayonet?
>>64945475I feel there is a military that has used that similar setup? Vietnamese?
>>64948095Also worth mentioning the rationale behind the design was mostly to stop shrapnel injuries that caused a substantial portion of casualties the same way helmets reduce head injuries from debris and so on. He had a whole section breaking down injuries by high and low velocity projectiles (rifle or pistol / shrapnel) and the armor is mostly mentioned for low velocity. I think he did hypothesize in the book that rifle rated body armor was possible but not practical at the time and he was more interested in reducing the severity of wounds. It's been a while since I read it.
>>64946191What tires me is the laziness of>X but cute girlWhere the punchline, the personality, the 'anything' is just 'girl is cute'. People will dismiss dislike of this as gay, yet this is also deeply DEEPLY associated with transgenders because of their inability to not be a coomer nonstop.It's the same reason why I like centurii'chan's pic about the judgment of paris (French wine testers deciding Californian wine was better in a blind taste test then being furious and wanting to rescind it when they learned it was from Napa valley) but I am less a fan of their pics where it's just>haha lesbians LESBIANS LESBIANS LESBIANS! GIRLS KISSING GIRLS I LIKE GIRLS KISSING GIRLSNobody likes tools unable to keep from hammering something into the ground, whether it is memes, porn, whatever.>>64948163I don't recall the scarf bit but they could always choose to wear one on a whim.
>>64948222Just remembered it was the Japs.
>>64946191Why do you prefer femboys instead?
>>64946191I felt the exact same, but then I saw an anime girl dressed in a Napoleonic uniform and my standards started to drop off.I do really, really hate when they draw them wearing skirts. It's just wrong.
>>64948261>no titsThat's a dude
>>64948311Oh yeah, that's another one of my icks: boobs. No way, not on uniformed girls. I'm fine with a little, I get it, but the spectrum is typically a binary flat or absolutely tasteless. It's like disrespecting my suspense of disbelief.[spoiler]With that said, I am quite fond of flat-chested girls in general so I am biased.[/spoiler]

>>64945017>Not even the best WWI helmethttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/are-todays-military-helmets-better-at-preventing-brain-injury-not-always-study-says
>>64948473You seemed to have attached the wrong picture to your post. Here, let me help.
>>64948459They bounce and move around when you move. They basically swat insects away.
>>64948459They dangle around as you move, chasing the bugs off.
>>64945017you could probably cook soup in those old WW1 era kettle hats if you do it in the right way
>>64945033>>64945040Isn't the Polish hussar helmet basically what you're talking about?
>>64947504Not him but the anon that started this mentioned anime. Fucking brownoids calling other people brown. Kill yourself.
>>64945017Always liked the dragoon helm. Has the chad as fuck horse hair mohak crest and I love the elegant swoop of the visor. (plus leopard print rim if you are feeling extra based)
>>64948132Uncle joe don't ask
>>64947696>>64947920>>64948095On this subject, did anyone experiment with lamellar or scale during WWI? Seems like that might have offered decent frag protection at a fraction of the weight of monolithic plates.
>>64947696>>64947920Germans fielded armour in WW1, it was mostly for machine gunners in forward positions (not a lot of moving around) also note the extra layer on the helmet. The helmet with this heavy addition is supposedly bullet proof not just shrapnel proof
>>64945017Add a mylar veil. All that extra space means you can vent the heat so all you need is some kind of covering to block IR emissions from the skin.
>>64948211Yeah rifle rated armor wasn't practical until ceramic plates were invented in the 1960's. >>64949896The Germans are best known for that but everyone did in WW1. I'd post pics but jannies are still blocking uploads from my IP range.
>>64947473oh wow, if that does not have some "And they were room mates" energy.Just that brief but passionate time in college that could not last.
>>64947467>>64947473but let's not pretend he doesn't have a point about tranime
>>64949550Yes, several are in Bashford Dean's book and there may have been more that he wasn't aware of. Seems like it was a pretty common approach early in the war. In general they all had the same pros and cons. Pros were lightweight and flexible, cons were the plates only provided protection against low velocity frag and bullets had a habit of pushing the plates into your chest. >One of the earliest types of body shields appearing in the British market was also a flexible one ; this was known as the Franco-British, since it was first manufactured in France and sold to British soldiers (Fig. 70). It was made up of eight vertical rows of rectangular plates which were linked together by steel rings, every plate on each of its four sides. Like the Berkeley jazeran, such a plastron could readily be worn under the tunic. Its weight was not great and it afforded protection from splinters and from low velocity shrapnel. As a defense against other missiles, it was well-nigh Fig. 70. "Franco-British cuirass," 1916-1917 valueless; its plates were unsupported, their marginal areas readily penetrated, and their material by no means of the best. Even under favorable circumstances, as when a bullet struck the center of one of these plates, it could resist scarcely more than a pistol bullet at the rate of 200 foot seconds, which is but about one third the strength of the British helmet.Post WW2 studies by the US Army found the same problem with small plates. I think that's why you don't see many successful attempts at it. The Soviet 6B3 is probably the closest. But its plates are larger and thicker than a true scale or lamellar cuirass. And its a lot heavier too.
>>64948261>I do really, really hate when they draw them wearing skirts. It's just wrong.Read Monstrous Regiment all the way to the end and then try and tell me it's wrong.
>>64945017no it cannot be done it's inherently anti-modern, relique of the distance passed

>>64945475based
>>64945173>directing shrapnel directly into your brainwat
>>64947920None of these designs were intended to make a man rifle-proof. But rifles did not kill most people, shrapnel and smaller projectiles (and rifles at longggggggg range) did.Accordingly these armor sets would've actually have saved a lot of lives and prevented a great many injuries. But they also cost money, and money is to be spent on jewish superiors and not goyim slavecattle.

It may be apocryphal or just because it didn't help or protect the ears/side of the skull enough, but a brim to funnel shrapnel into the brain was one of the reasons for no tactical kettle helmets.
