Anyone seen facial armor systems yet?

You do realize that the need to go prone isn´t exclusive to long range shooting?

Bit of an interesting lil' article.

But muh future:

Although seriously they do look pretty cool, which is why I put them in my mod. And I suppose that's what it's there for: when BI doesn't want to take a direction and that's fine with me.

Even if the mask(s) in question had absolutely NO protection value (basically worked like a pair of glasses), I still think this would be a great cosmetic to have in-game. Just like Hidden Identity V3s gas masks. No real importance, just cosmetic. But they still look kick-ass, and the Ravage Mod actually gives the masks the same effects as wearing goggles.

1.54 already allows for properly separated head/face protection values since you can define a hit point for face armour in the helmet's config.

 

In fact, the vanilla F-35 HMCS and HGU-56 helmets already use this system (even though realistically the visors and the face shields on them shouldn't provide any armour protection at all).
