HELMETS as a item with bonus

at the moment helmets in game are just a skin, helmets dont have any bonus or nothing, it would be really nice and realistic that helmets become a item like others in game, for example backpacks or granade bags, of course gaijin should add a new solt for helmets.

of course like any other item you should buy it with bronze orders, soldiers should start with no helmets, it would be nice its there its different type of helmets like small backpacks ot big backpacks with different % of bonus.

but what bonus helmets should give to soldiers, Helmets should reduce the head damage multiplier that soldiers take, different tier or type of helmets should have +/- head damage multiplier reduction.

i get that you have good intentions, but this could be horribly unbalanced

Few times I had headshot that I survived with minimum health. This was always accompanied by a metallic sound. I think helmets works

why?, everybody can buy helmets as everybody can buy backpacks.

this is an awful idea.

helmets reduce the damage of pistol bullets by half, like soviet armor in berlin

Not so sure if that would work out well.

good idea, but non actually practicable.

(it would be too difficult to create the hitboxes and make them work properly)

helmets are more intended to stop impact and shrapnel injuries not someone shooting a 7.62 round at your dome.

Pretty much that…
Helmets can´t really save you from a bullet.

Just give germans on Berlin possibility to have the Steelhelmet M45.

Armor slots did exist in open tests on April Fool’s Day in the past, but I don’t think it’s a good idea.

It sounds like p2w

it does reduce damage, there was test on youtube long ago, showing that hitting head at the helmet compare to body is 180% damage, while hitting face and neck (where the helmet doesn’t covered) is 200% damage, not much different but can save you sometimes

Already it does, also the Soviet body armour at Berlin does.

Simple: High-Campagin players would be more imune to headshots the newbies and F2Ps
