Yeah, BF4 wasn't stable nor fun for like a good year after release which is funny because it was just a tweaked version of BF3.

Also the Hardline box had a negro on it. And every BF game except 1942 and 2142 let you play as a black dude.

So if you're trying to claim that Battlefield is racist somehow then you're going to have trouble proving that. Maybe BF2 was racist since the idea of Middle Eastern governments coming together to form an anti-US coalition is so absurd and out of touch with reality, but that's more just being straight up stupid than racist.

From wikipedia:

"To counter the danger of bullet splash or fragments knocked off the inside of the hull, crews were issued with leather-and-chainmail masks.[10] A leather helmet[11] was also issued, to protect the head against projections inside the tank. Gas masks were standard issue as well, as they were to all soldiers at this point in the war (see Chemical warfare). "

It was a whole new type of warfare, and I'm pretty sure that the crews originally didn't have that kind of gear. Pretty sure there wasn't really a standard set either, and that there were some level of improvising at hand.

Another similar design.

i wonder if the quality of metal was just considerably inferior and spalling was a bigger issue

People are weirdly more averse to chemical warfare then nuclear warfare.

Other helmets that were in the trailer if only for a few brief seconds:



Metal mask for german snipers, with a section cut out so you could rest a stock against your cheek to shoot.



Gaede helmet, also german, was the product of one colonel wanting better head protection for his troops in the days before full steel helmets were standard issue. Steel only covers the front though. Only a couple thousand were made and then the Stahlhelm rolled out the next year, making it obsolete. Makes you look like you are wearing a bird mask.

Partially, although spalling was never completely eliminated as a threat due to increased gun bores, propellant loads and explosive shell designs as armored warfare advanced. Eventually they learned to deal with it by lining the interiors of the tank with anti-spalling curtains or padding to catch the fragments, and later layered/spaced armor to spread the impact of explosives before striking the final internal layer.

Ah yes, how dare they make a game set in WWI. Unconscionable. :dice: should definitely stick to making games set in the modern day where you kill modern people with modern weapons. That's dramatically less offensive.
