mr_centipede 31 Posted March 12, 2013 I just wondering with a lot of gadgets attached to the helmet, will they have some functions in the future? Or are they just cosmetics? I think it would be appropriate to think that they will have some functionalities, like flash lights or such Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rythmn 2 Posted March 12, 2013 A flashlight wouldn't sound too bad on the helmet. Other than that, the only other gadgets that seem reasonable would be night vision and perhaps the microphone for communication which they already have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freighttrain4 1 Posted March 12, 2013 One idea for a mod that'd be awesome. imagine a go-pro cam in the helmet. Then you could view the footage after. It would allow for great videos of ARMA to be made. ARMAFunker XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khaki 10 Posted March 12, 2013 One idea for a mod that'd be awesome. imagine a go-pro cam in the helmet. Then you could view the footage after. It would allow for great videos of ARMA to be made. ARMAFunker XD We already have that..just use any video recording software and add an effect to it to look distorted. I don't know of too many functions for a helmet..well first they need to stop bullets better ;) Maybe a dim IR strobe? Spot to store goggles or glasses?

zombietampons 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Minimap display with a limited battery life would be very cool, low possibility but would be pretty cool. or IR Strobe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lugiahua 26 Posted March 12, 2013 I am more interesting if helmet display (used by both side) have any actual function, like the Apache one in Arma2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted March 12, 2013 The IR strobe functionality would be interesting, but the current implementation basically has the NVGs act in that role already (i.e. built-in IR strobe for illumination instead of being strictly "starlight"). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zalak 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Aye the helmets need more functions, the opfor helmet does not make sense at the moment considering it seems not to do any thing different and looks like it costs lots of money. Every thing I think of tho to add to the helmet would really hamper game play tho, such as a situation awareness thing that helps you spot targets and stuff or a intelligent map/gps that shows location of units and what not. Considering google glasses by 2035 the military should be able to put some awesome stuff in there helmets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmdanny 22 Posted March 12, 2013 Having attachments for the helmet iteself would be a nice idea, you could attach a flashlight/strobe/glowstick/futuristic HUD things/thermal nightvision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.Sloane 12 Posted March 12, 2013 since there is picture in picture tech available in arma3, head cam thing is not impossible. imagine that u can check your friend's fov with a little lcd screen in your gear. just like HuntIR in Ace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andysim212 10 Posted March 12, 2013 A beer holder would be a great addon, with one of them silly straw things like you get on beer hats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivoune 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks to the pip tech I agree a cam would be nice to help team leader on the field or commanders back in base in their fancy chairs trying to reassure the chief of staff. It would be nice if helmets had attachments like the weapons, (flashlight, camera, pack of cigs, rainbow cats etc). Also I'd like the OPFOR helmet redesigned please, the general shape is obnoxious to me and the attached (imho) failed futuristic little tactical sun glasses just make it worse, I really am not a fan of it, but that's merely the opinion of one, me. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
