Tell me (his), will we ever wear an armour during the war again?
Ask >>>/k/ about the latest in body armor.
Yes, the development hasn't stopped.
>>960539
Again? Soldiers wear armour now.
>>960539
I guess we certainly would. It may just have another shape, a shape we don't use till now

They have been developing a exoskelton power armor so cant wait till american soldiers in iron man suits kill a bunch of cave durkas
I hope we get to a point like space battles where camo isn't needed and military uniforms and armour are decorated again like they were in the past
>>960539
We already do it. Kevlar armor.

Nigga shit is easier to Camo in space

The future is going to be so cool

>military uniforms and armour are decorated again like they were in the past
Service dress is not camo and it's still drab as shit. Decorations went away for good, friend. Unless they make a come back in civilian life, you're not gonna see them in the military either.
>>960616
I'm pretty sure he was talking of uniforms way older than what you're thinking.
Even field uniforms of the 1700's was colourful as fuck
>>960592
>drones and exoskeletons and lasers and HUD goggles
real life is turning into a video game
>>960642
Yes I know, but my point is, if even dress uniforms nowadays are drab, what makes you think we'd go back to colorful work uniforms if we didn't need camo?
>>960539
Even if we do get armor some smart guy is gonna invent a small portable version of a missile launcher that blows that armor away.
>>960539
When power armor becomes mainstream for infantry, yes.
>>960560
>we're going to get dope as fuck armor
>we're going to fuck it up with ugly as sin digital camo
Why can't we just have nice things?
>>960539
>>960661
How small?
One could theoretically repurpose man-portable antitank missiles to take out Iron-Man-like exosuits. Or better yet, use anything larger than 50cal to blow away exosuits.
But then again, I'm assuming powered armor to be more like miniature, man-shaped tanks than Tony Stark's invention made in a cave full of scraps, etc.
>>960568
I'm afraid that will never happen. The trend in warfare since WW1 is to be harder to see, not easier. When push comes to shove, you want to get the jump on your enemies, not meet them in the line of battle. Warfare isn't fair and being invisible is the single biggest advantage you can have over an otherwise similarly equipped force.
>>960539
What're you talking about? Soldiers do wear armor in wars going on right now.
>>960539
We already do. What are you talking about?
>>960926
The US has been transitioning away from UCP for a while now.
The new meme pattern is Multicam and its various .gov knockoffs.

hey ho
>>960568
Shit like this >>962746 is pretty aesthetic though desu
>>960926
You honestly think that shit is 'dope as fuck'?
>>962971
Powered combat suits are cool, yes.
Modern soldiers wear kevlar, plates (ceramic or steel), a helmet, or some combination of the three.
>>962963
This is true. Explosives have been racking up the majority of kills since WWI.
However modern MICH helmets are capable of stopping 5.56 ball and pretty much any pistol round you're likely to encounter.
>>962963
Yup, fragmentation from explosives and indirect fire are still the highest casualty producer in war.
>>960539
We already do.
>what is SAPI
>>962971
Not that piece specifically, but power armor in general, yes I do
