no, gasmask should be for everyone, if you don’t like it, I can accept, but it’s your own opinion, here it’s an example from japan with a whole squad in ww2 period using the gasmasks

A, no sane person would run around with a gas mask unless actual necessities
as it restrains your visual and hearing. as far as game goes, just wannabe edge lords goes with full masks
B, japan was one of the very few nations to use extensively chemical warfare
which wouldn’t transfer well onto other nations for the same reasons. matter of fact, almost no one used them. it was for a fear from the first world war. kinda like the germans with the zimmerith paste on their tanks. unironically, they were the only one using magnetic mines.
C, enlisted has 0 chemical weapons ( on a technicality, the WP grenade after the fire is one, but a gas mask wouldn’t save you from a WP )
and to conclude,
D, one random picture does not represent the majority.
so no,
it’s not a matter of opinions i’m afraid, but common sense.

if it was only that. gas mask restricts breathing so you need to spend energy just to breathe, not to mention it makes you sweat like crazy.
they used chemical weapons mainly against chinese, so it is kinda pointless in the game currently. google AI mentions rare occasion against allies, but doesnt mention what was used and where. it is mentioned that they feared allied reprisal, so they didnt really use them against them.
and then there is this argument:
Japan only did chemical warfare?, GOOD joke here, look brits and americans, they used everything they had against the japs, sorry but nope
please give me sources on USA or UK doing chemical warfare against japan. afaik they did everything except chemical warfare.

look about what they did with the M4 4.2 inch Recoilless Mortar,ok, it was experimental but used against japs, you can even check the manual from my post: Flamethrower Murican Structure about UK, ok they didn’t use actively but had plans

What did they use?
exactly. they had plans, but was never used. one of the reasons on why is cause if one side started with chemical warfare, other would retaliate.

I will be honest, I can’t remember now
Gasmasks used to be cool and mysterious, but then every game and movie overused them

Is that perhaps because it never happen?
I know of one accidental release of mustard gas by the British in Italy (German bombers attacked a ship secretly carrying it, planed to be used only in relatiation in case of a German first strike), other than that there are no recorded use of western Allied chemical weapons. In fact, the only first strike plan on behalf of any western Allied military of chemical weapons are the British, who heavily considered it if they experienced a German invasion.
That’s not what I ment, BF5 is an example of a game that overused them. What I ment was gasmasks up until the early 2000s where novel and unique. I suppose it started with the SAS using them and ended when COD and battlefield skins had them on constantly.
If you want gasmasks so bad in Enlisted then
why not suggest a ww1 event. I think it’d be pretty cool and gasmasks are right at home in ww1.

I do hope they add more weather effects and to more maps. Sandstorms in Tunisia, with most of the soldiers covering their faces, would be very cool.

Imagine if the German Bush Boys event squad actually changed camo based on the map

This would be cool as long as bots can’t fire through it.

I can also remember the Kasserine level from MOHAA - Breakthrough. There, during a sandstorm, all the American soldiers wore gas masks. I could not find any evidence that they actually protected themselves from the sandstorm with gas masks in Kasserine or anywhere in Africa. I think the artists just looked at references from “Desert Storm”, where the Americans really did this.
