Your Army's Combat Helmets

[Butballs]

Here in Davinhia, we find other nation's helmet and armour design too inefficient.

OOC: What do you mean?

We find it expensive, and weak.
I'm davinhia's phone puppet, btw

[Gingeska]

Ssh-60 style helmet with kevlar.
Reserves use the same but steel pot only.

Don't know if you're being serious or not.

[Artaeon]

Official helmet of the Artaeonian Imperial Army, used both in peace and war.
No one can resist it.

If you going to use it as a stool you are going to break it. There is a reason why they tell you not to use them as foot rests or stools

"If I can't sit on it without breaking it, it isn't going to do my head much good; I wouldn't carry it in the field, much less wear it. If your helmets are that fragile, you need a re-design."

-- General Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina, CO Air Cavalry Division

[Imperial Paleoworld Germania]

The M1988 Stahlhelm, a modified form of the M1942 Stahlhelm that is a Kevlar helmet akin to the American PASGT, the Frence Spectre, and the British Mk 6 helmets.

Stahlhelm M56

[Brillnuck]

Stahlhelm M56



In use since 1904.

[Greater Weselton]

This is our main helmet:

[Zorga]

The Zorganese People's Armed Forces all use the Stahlhelm M56. The national police and firefighting force also uses them.

[New Korongo]

The standard combat helmet of the Eraja Arseen Insua (Royal Armed Forces) is the Larel ABK(M) advanced combat helmet seen in the image below. It is constructed out of strong, heat resistant synthetic fibers which are lightweight. It is produced in three different sizes, with the medium weighing approximately 1.6 kilograms. The Larel helmet features an attachment system with three points, one at the front and one on each side, where equipment such as night vision devices and helmet cameras can be mounted. It is normally issued with a camouflaged helmet cover, a mesh net cover, and a nape pad specifically designed for the Larel.

You'll eventually going to break it. it's not one set equals one break. They are designed to go on your head not your ass lmao. If they did would you call them, ass hats or something? Also why would you use your helmet as a water pot? that's nasty. The helmet is all sweaty ,has hair dender , and etc.. in it. Never in a million years would I drink out of it.

[Balshvik]

My english sucks right now. but, anyone helmets are over rated anywhere and are too much of pain in the neck to wear.

Information and Design: The Basic Unit consists of little more than what could be called an " Armored Balaclava " , the materials implented in the structure are relatively lightweight ceramic metals a layer of force absorption and distribution material over which resides the basic kevlar and armor grade metal platings it features a ocular mounting unit , there is a hinged mask plate which may be lifted over or above the jaws there is a spacing to allow breathing. The Helmet itself has specialized mounts for specialized gear for communications , field/atmospheric surveillance and sensory enhancement. The basic layer consists of a fragment proof rubber like compound which insulates evenly in hot and cold climates. one may also control it further with a seperate climatic control unit issued to soldiers. There is a specialized gas mask unit which has been tested against agents such as FAE's and Nerve Agents as strong as Novichok. A Highly specialized 4 scoped ocular unit is available which has it's own specific computerized communications and performance module attachment with this added the soldiers performance is potentially enhanced several times above what is humanly possible. However the ability to add or remove specific attachments means the system can be adapted to various roles hence it's modular capability - as of yet the system has only been issued to elite special forces , reconnaissance and vanguard units but plans are in place to further upgrade and modify the system to enhance survivability.

The Ocular is unit is multi purpose and has a vast range of functions ranging from thermal vision to other forms and services rather like an HUD unit as well , they are also capable of zooming in on the target , this unit and the adjacent communications systems can link to computer interfaces provided to soldiers and obey voice commands. Most of the technology was co-developed with Chinese and Zhouranese.

Statistics:

Weight:- 2.5 KG Maximum load - 1.8 KG Minimum Load ( Efficient weight distribution mechanisms allow average comfort for the soldier.

Protection:- At maximum armor load the unit was tested against powerful cartridges in specialized set up's , It was able to withstand some 5 hits from the 7.62x54mmR armor piercing ammo , varied hits from specialized and non specialized cartridges and withstood a minimum of 2 hits for the 9.3mm 7N34 sniper munition tested through the Dragunov SVDK. Though it's efficiency against anti material sniper cartridges is in question due to the strong possibility of a concussion or kill based on the sheer force of impact to the head , Eurasian engineers are confident it will be able to handle specialized and non specialized NATO cartridges to calibers up to 7.62x51 NATO and even the .30-06 in it's specialized variants.

Two words: helmet liner; the helmet itself never touches your head. Even if it did get dirty on the inside, it's washable.

[Gvozdevsk]

Equipment in the Gvozdevski Armed Forces is going through a bit of a shift, so there's currently two common helmets for infantry units.

FAST ballistic, used by elite units (special forces and certain infantry formations), meant to become standard issue within the next 2 years


RBH-103, used by everyone else


Armoured vehicle crews use the Combat Vehicle Crewman helmet

[Kazarogkai]

We are basically PT tech, somewhere in the 15-17 century I guess.

A variation of the Burgonet is used by all soldiers ranging from regulars to officers.

Soldiers are not only permitted to but also commonly stylize their helmets, it is one way of identifying them to a degree. Typically these display accomplishments of the soldier the rule of thumb is the more heavily decorated the helmet the more accomplished, or at least the more pretentious they are.
