The visor could work if the entire helmet faceplate was actually the same see through material, just shaded differently from the outside view to make it LOOK like the eyes were there.
>>44598067
are you retarded? why would they put a spoiler on there if it didn't let them run faster?
>>44598000
It's a damn sight better than Stormtrooper helmets. In Rebels, Captain Rex complains that Imperial gear is shit compared to the stuff he had during the Clone Wars.
>>44598372
Well they had to make cuts to build that whole death star thing
>>44598372
Hey, they should be glad it still had NBC protection: the First Order couldn't even afford that.
>>44598358
Actually, It's a known fact that the spoiler is used as a form of mating plumage. Clone troopers would signal to others that they were healthy males by displaying their crest. The fact that the design is aerodynamic is just a bonus.
Learn the lore loser.

You forget who designed the helmets and armor, Kaminoans. Phase I armor was said to be stiff and uncomfortable when sitting. The crest obviously is a nod to the males of the Kaminoan species.
Plus, it does make them go faster.

Has anyone ever run a Mandalorian campaign of some kind? Or just a Mandalorian character?
>>44600524
>>44600524
How could one put a price on looking like you have three mohawks and can run the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs
>>44600578
But they're supposed to represent the Faceless Authority figure. If we give them mohawks that shows that they're rebellious and go against the grain of society, so if we give them 3 at the same time....we end up still being a bunch of punk rebel clonetroopers.
>>44598000
Is that what we're going to do today? We're going to shitpost?

they often use transport without roof. a spoiler on the helmet is extremely valuable in such cirumstances.
Watch Formula 1... Wait they don't have spoilers on their helemts, stupid apes from Earth can't into aerodynamics.
>>44600464
>>44600498
This, phase II is the best troop helmet in sci-fi I've seen en decades
>>44600667
Yeah but in this case they'd be a mass-produced, conforming, punk rebel authority. They'd spend their days kicking down doors to open DIY swap meets in your living room, confiscating your hovercar to haul their equipment to their next show, and stopping you one the street on your way to work to jeer and toss beer cans at you, possibly holding you for three days and giving you a homemade tattoo before releasing you without your shoes.

Do you know what a mounting bracket is?
>>44598627
The empire had radtroopers, who were specially equipped and trained to fight in areas where the Empire nuked until the ground glowed. But they're not canon anymore.

Faster is across, not in line with.
That's so they can turn faster and run straighter.
>>44604540
oh, and it also lets them control their vector while in air.
>>44604573
>>44604540
The rocketeer knew.
>>44604387
>>44599048
fun fact: in reality, those helmets actually had the plumes oriented to run from ear to ear, although the mohawk orientation looks way cooler
>>44605068
Actually, both styles of crest were used Roman officers. The ear-to-ear crest was for centurions, and the mohawk crest was for options.

Chest-mounted lightbrights aren't cheap, anon
>>44604380
Hell, apparently the helmets can't even filter out poison gas, only smoke. I mean, we had masks that could do that in WWI, and the movies show little pencil-sized things that let you breathe underwater, but military helmets can't give you a bit of clean air?
>>44604573
That seems like a flaw for the jump troopers, honestly; you'd want to be able to look around the battlefield without changing course sometimes, so you can see the guy shooting you without diving right at him.
>>44598987
>bacta tank
>oooor stick him in a suit
>>44607726
Bacta has limits, though. Luke got a robot hand, and Vader needed a few limbs, plus repairing all his parts that are cooked/soaked in poisonous fumes. Maybe it gives him bacta injections, but it only can do so much.
>>44607763
Then you aren't using enough bacta
>>44607791
Too much dakka? Get some bacta!
>>44600498
Look even the legs are aerodynamically designed.

What? Where's that coming from? They've got an iron insert in the helmet?

Hey, being a clone trooper tends to build up some stress. If they want to go Thebian on us... well, more power to them.
>>44600526
Not in the SW universe proper, but in an Invicta style campaign with a small offshoot.
>>44598000
I can't even believe how stupid the people on this board are. A fin for running? Are you joking?? That fin is an athena so the storm troopers can listen to smooth jazz during a fire fight to calm their nerves. Did you even watch the movies?

The style of helmet might see implementation by more sci fi writers of they grasped the HUD it supports, and the eye movement/blink navigation it uses. Also iirc the helmets had wrap around vision, or at least the mandalorian buice did, I can't remember if the trooper or commandoes had them.
Also, and I can't remember if this is true or not; I seem to recall the spoiler having an indicator light in back to give signals to other troopers visually.

KOTOR era mando helmet is canon, at least.

TO be fair, the First Order probably put all their resources towards Starkiller base. Everything else ended up less effective.

TRAITOR
>>44614740
Apparently some supplementary thing floating on the periphery of TFA mentions the Battle of Rakata, so perhaps not everything from KOTOR has transformed into the Force.
>>44616188
The artbook for TFA also mentions Kylo's saber design being based off the saber used by "the Scourge of Malachor" so it's not out of the question.
>>44616666
Double Order 66 confirms: KOTOR isn't dead.

>>44614559
I'd love to see Delta Squad as elite group of old ass dudes waging guerilla warfare against Imperial forces on some backwoods planet in an episode of Rebels.
But only if they had their VA's return for it.
To have anyone other than Temuera Morrison voice 38 is a sin against Star Wars.
>>44617138
I'm glad force unleashed is not cannon. Good riddance I say.
>>44615693
Hard contact is ok, good even.
After that Traviss pretty much plays around with fanfiction-style stories and tries to orient the canon into her favor.
It gets to the point where Jedi see their own order as so bad that they become mandos, and then live for nearly 200 years.

We had a thread about this a while ago. We determined full face helments would have a dehumanizing effect, and that would make the enemy all the more cruel to your forces and civilians less empathetic to them
>>44614234

>>44623630
Unless you are fighting against space bugs, robots or aliens with significantly different facial features. Then hide your face.
>>44623703
Wouldn't it matter less against enemies with inhuman features, since they can't empathize with you anyway?
>>44623727
Yes. This is why you hide your face.
