Camo Helmets?

Recommended Posts

Has this been brought up yet? Camoflage ballistic helmet. 

 

Craftable in the same manner a Mosin is: Apply Green or Black paint, and then right click the opposite color to see "Paint Helmet Camo Color".

 

What do you think of this? I could see it being an easier thing to add perhaps, but I have no clue. Seems like we should have it in any event, especially with the new camo being added. That new blue camo, you could add black paint to a UN helmet and have the option for camo with the end result being blue/black camo just like the uniform below.

Sure this would be a nice add. I really couldn't care less for camo clothing but  a lot of poeple tend to like it.

It seems simple enough to be in the next update, I mean why not

The "ballistic helmet" is the MICH helmet used by the US Army, so I would really like to see a ACUPAT helmet cover

However, I would really prefer they add the PASGT first with a TTSKO helmet cover, as that's what the CDF uses.

They can even make a variant with a face shield to go along with that riot outfit

It doesn't matter yet. The current ballistic helmet applies protection around the entire head.

I was focused more on aesthetics rather than bonuses.

I'd love to see some kind of camo netting/foliage be able to be applied to the MICH helmets.

That and I still think the headlamps should be compatible with the helmet (including other headwear as well).

I think MORE ARMA related military designs DO need to be ported in the game. I understand everyone thats hard core mountain man could care less but for the die hard military fanatics there is still allot thats lacking from the military aesthetics of the game still.

 

Such as military packs. You CANT tell me that there would be not a single military back pack besides the olive green one at the bases can you? We would be seeing some tactical packs, hydration packs and even some medical military packs ever so often.

It's not Spec ops as in military. It's modeled after OMON, which is more of special police unit.

So why not have special police units in Chernarus?

Honestly they dont need to add to much of that sort of gear why because the first thing modders will do when they get there hands on the game is add every camo known to mankind and some fantasy ones to boot. There will be a flood of mil packs etc etc. Id rather they focus now on normal everyday stuff ( the stuff most modders wont get a hard on for adding.

 

PS for you die hard military nuts ya now you can just play arma LOL...

 

Edit as for the OP it wouldnt be hard for them to make a camo skin for the helmet and add the recipe to there crafting so why not add it in a little variety is always nice...

Well ether way to be honest if they can add something really unique to the items though that moders wouldn't think about they should do it.

 

Off Topic: Also did you see that rifle/sniper homemade gun rocket posted on developers tracker? It looks like it might be that better possible sniper option ppl have been waiting for.

Going to have to agree with this.  Introducing a mitch with netting as a far more rare ballistic helmet would be great.  I'd also very much like the lvl3a hard Kevlar mitch to actually provide realistic levels of protections...  This means it should provide almost no protection against hv rifle rounds, however against 9mm, .45acp, .357 magnum or most specifically .22lr, it should be able to eat large numbers of hits w/o defeat...  Realistically a mitch could eat 100 .22lr bullets w/o defeat or really any significant energy transfer to the wearer, aka you should not get knocked out by a .22lr in dayz while wearing a ballistic helmet...

 

Overall I'd very much like to see an increase in the variety of ballistic helmets, the mitch, PASGT, At least two Russian helmets , as well as the new lvl3 ECH (being fielded by the usmc and us army) capable of defeating up to m80 7.62x51 nato should all be included imo.  Netted mitch, and the ECH should be by far the most rare.

 

Btw nice pic, suppressed mk12spr mod1 spotted.

Russian helmets aren't actually used in Chernarus. The CDF use an older American variant if I'm correct it looks like that in ARMA 2 atleast
