As a modder, I’m extremely interested in this thing, but I’m totally against seeing it in the base game. Maybe as part of an event? Like for a zombie mode or some funny alternate-history trash?

WW1 German soldier wearing a Grabenpanzer/Sappenpanzer and Sappenpanzer Gesichtsmaske (often referred to as an Elephant Mask). Likely taken in 1916 or 1917 : r/battlefield_one

sniper scope + prone + mask is op
maybe if it was limited tojut about aything else the poor vision from the tiny hole would banance out so
no to sniper, radio, flame trooper, mortar, might have missed a few
mg smg, rifle, at anything where limited vision is a draw back the sniper is the worse choice.

maybe depending on range?

its not so much range as vision how much can you see through a keyhole, so something between shotgun and smg range at best. just no for sniper that using the scope to cancel out the disadvantage then compounding it by making them prone. so less about range and more tunnel vision where you can see one soldier at a time so they would need a vest to. it be like battlefield 1.

i think it would be great for those events with special game modes. For the main game i dont think it would be good to have but what was it actually used for and where?

as long as it limits the vision

Y’all know you had about the same amount of vision in a gas mask right?

Also I wish but soviet bias, they’re never gonna give the germans or italians the body armor that they actually used. (it was one of the few things the italians actually got right.)

We’d more likely get Night Witches in the game before we get proper axis body armor.

In ww1
In ww2 no infantry but soviets used it en mass
