Give Germany an armored helmet

If Soviet partisans with MP40s can wear armor and their MP40s will soon be upgraded, then give the Germans an armored helmet on their customization list.



Otherwise it wouldn’t be fair; the cuirass reduces damage to the torso by 10%.

Wdym? All (metal) helmets are armored by default, are you talking about body armour? I have understoot it bothers some people, but adding even more body armour besides from being innacurate would only suppose another problem instead of a solution.

Soviet body armour shouldn’t protect against full power and intermediate cartridges, only against shrapnel and melee, and pistol cartridges depending on the distance and caliber.

An armored helmet like the assault engineers have. They wanted to add it to gold boxes but didn’t. Maybe they should just add it to customization?

I don’t have that squad and I still don’t understand what are you trying to say by “armoured helmets”

Do those helmets have higher damage reduction than the regular ones? Are these a different model from the M40 Stahlhelm?


Yes, they provide 83% resistance when hit in the forehead.

Not the forehead they do on all the head except the neck and It basically makes you imposible to headshoot only AT rifles and tanks can and the single shoot Berdan II you can survive any Bolt action wen using vitality without It you can survive to SFs and LMGs

Ok give everyone the same, again last time I checked Germany faces us, so usssr and Germany nearly immune to head shots us, um…or give all us ap rounds but not Russia so it’s a propose wash

How to check the forehead or the whole head?

Adding the helmet for everybody would be absolute cancer you it will be impossible to kill someone in a headglitch

Let everyone have these helmets until the body armor protection is removed :wink:

And should be changed to zero with everything else. Cosmetics shouldn’t effect gameplay at all. Just remove the addition armor bonuses but keep it for the Cosmetics

The germans only have this on a single squad that you had to unlock through playing stalingrad, event, or getting it to drop in the silver boxes. It also only protects their head. The russians can have their 10% damage resistance on the largest portion of character model on any infantry unit for a few appearance orders. There were also some community members that believe that only assault engineers should have the actual damage resistance with the rest being purely cosmetic. So trying to make it able to be bought for gold would make it like the japanese armor that got pulled from the gold crates for being pay to win.

Soo take out the sprint speed of the shin gun tos and It would be fair both nations loose the unique thing they have

Id rather not make it even worse than it already is. I hate headglitching more than anything else

Sometimes, only widespread abuse can draw attention to a problem.

Damn, I understand now, thanks mate

Doesnt work with the enlisted playerbase… US cas is so broken and nobody cares

Sure why not? this won’t solve the body armor problem but if you want more customization yeah sure. with the damage multiplier on heads and necks this helmet is of questionable utility and if it were added for gold would be a bit of a waste seeing as it would only really protect from pistols at a distance, up close they wouldn’t help with anything at all. Pretty sure the M1 carbs has no issues with this helmet either as a headshot is still a headshot.

Indeed, otherwise it’s not fair, we buff some people’s MP40, but they have a bulletproof vest that reduces damage by 10%, and we give nothing to the others.

Maybe it’s been changed, but back when it first came out you could survive a boltie head shot. Helmet gives 80-83% damage reduction. Headshot multiplier is 2.3x. A boltie that does 28 damage would normally do 64.4 damage, 80% reduction brings the headshot damage down to 13.4. Less if it’s 83%. So yeah, these helmets are stupid strong.
