the whole losing-the-helmet thing i STILL think is pointless..

yeah i always try and keep my guys lids on..

So them stopping anything is already unrealistic as is. =D

why not just treat it like anything else and have a HP count?

so 2nd or 3rd bullets would just go straight thru?

i'd be ko with that.

i'm just thinking i have enough to do restocking weapons, laying mines organising troops (which is the essence of the game) to worry about this silly helmet thing..that's all..

I think its good because against another player there can be a big difference in skill level. A question though, are red berets etc treated the same as a helmet, in effectiveness?

From what I can tell yeah they are, ive had men with the black berets on, ive shot the sailor dudes and their caps fly off all the same as a metal hat.

That sucks. There were sometimes a metal rim inside the hats but thats about it.

well i think we have enough to do without this 'feature'..

that's a bit different as it's the environment. i appreciate the environment in this game, but the helmet thing is a small and a bit silly distraction, imo..

well, we maybe exposing them to more damage without them?

not sure how it works in the game, a more experienced person than myself could tell us..
