But a helmet with a mask which covers the face and looks like an actual face, but has a suspiciously big and round mouth hole, says "I'm not actually a soldier, this is just my kink."

What about the mask that looks like an actual face and comes with a metal beard?
Wyatt Gomez
Still counts.
Luis Mitchell
I'm thinking more like a viking beard not a spooky mustache with a big nose
Noah Hernandez

But a helmet that has a mask which covers the face which looks like an actual face says "I have no peripheral vision, please stand still directly in front of me."
Andrew James
>"I have no peripheral vision, please stand still directly in front of me." You are aware that most closed helmets already severely limit your field of view, right? It's really not that much of a downgrade.
Grayson Thompson
If are intending to do well in a melee, you should at least go for something like these:
A mask is a ceremonial thing. Sacrificing your side vision for something thin with so many flex points is asking for trouble.

Why weren't polka-dot visors like pic related more popular than slit visors?
Landon Hughes
I'd imagine it would weaken the overall integrity of that part of the helmet with all the places that have less area on which they attach to the surrounding metal but that's just a guess. I don't personally have any qualifications on this subject
Justin Gutierrez
Hmm
Aiden Richardson
Because only having a tiny eye slit in the big sheet of metal protecting your face is good protection from arrows and lances. Covering it in hundreds of holes may give you good vision and allow better breathing, but will act as a point trap for every arrow. lance, sword and polearm thrust. Also, a perforated metal sheet is a lot weaker than a solid one.
Oliver Morgan
The coolest helmet.

Holes can be a bit worse than just removing material.
Stress doesn't like taking detours, so the stress that should have "flowed" through where the hole is will just go slightly around it, adding up to the stress that was already going that way. So we get an uneven stress distribution, and with failure happening when any one point is stressed too much rather than when the sum total throughout the piece gets too high, that's bad.
Exactly how the stress is distributed is one of those "depends on everything" cases that's best solved by computer simulation. But for a hint at how things can go, if we take a large metal plate and try stretching it evenly in all directions in its plane and put a hole in the middle, then the stress at the edge of the hole will be exactly twice what it'd have been had the hole no been there.
IIRC that's a tournament special, for unmounted combat specifically, probably with "swords" of wood or whalebone. A somewhat more extreme take on the good old cage visor.

This is a much better way of saying what I was thinking by someone who actually knows what they're talking about. I appreciate the explanation user
Benjamin Lewis
That must be why helmets and full helmets were extremly popular over hundreds of years with warriors all over the world. Because they didn't know shit.

Why didn't anyone ever wear helmets like pic related?
Dylan Sullivan
Because the drag makes underwater combat needlessly difficult.
Alexander Roberts
Wouldn't that be a tanker? Goggles for lead splatter and minor spalling, but probably mostly a nuisance for a stormtrooper?
Austin Lopez
I get that but in land combat it seems like that would give decent protection
Noah Thomas
It would not stop rifle bullets, only pistol.

It can hardly count if it doesn't penetrate now can it?

The mask is fine, but the little ears are just silly.
Michael Murphy
Is there a practical purpose for the dildo on top or is it purely ornamental? Seems like a waste of metal for what could just as well be a plume or something.
Justin Johnson
They're not an uncommon feature in these kinds of helmets.
Robert Cox
I've been trying to figure that out for years. It kind makes sense when it's a wool hat, but when they make a helmet it's the same design.
