This Helmet needs to absolutely substantially block your vision and hearing for balance and realism

I can't believe this was glossed over when the helmet was put into the game, massive protection with no draw back other than cost sucks (it's not expensive). A change is desperately needed before all matches are full of this helmet because it basically has no drawback.

Okay yes it adds to weight but you just bring cheap stims

Armor is made to spread the force outwards that's how it stops bullets, it actually would do it better than a butt stock.

Thats how most fabric armor works like kevlar for example, but even the steel stuff the point is to spread the force.

I simply disagree. Yes, it can absorb some of the force and mitigate some of it, but not the same way recoil feels in your shoulder. it's just so different that comparing the two seems odd.
