So, I heard spess mehreens can't raise their arms fully upwards, if that is true, then how do they carry their wounded? As in SM who need to be carried back for Dread operation, or hell how did Dorn haul the Emperor's ass if Power Armor is told to be bulky?

That begs the question

Why the fuck hasn't the military created a armor that protects your ENTIRE BODY? It's clearly possible due to exosuits becoming real. Don't give me that shit about muh slowness, just make them capable of deployed down from helecopters and jets ODST style. Expensive?
Stop spending 18 million on useless jets and issue one heavy armor dude per squad . Energy? Solar power. Don't they want to save soldiers lives? Why the fuck are they using an outdated helmet design when knights had helmets protecting the face hundreds of years ago? Is the military stupid!? Jesus christ

>>382324273

because all of that shit can easily be defeated by an explosive, an RPG or a hi-calibre bullet.

heavy infantry armour is a wet dream because the amount of shit you'd need to make a person impervious to small arms fire is ridiculous and would just make them an easier and larger target for bigger weaponry.

>>382324273
>Energy? Solar power

You can't run an exosuit on solar energy you imbecile.

>>382324273
and how will you power them anon?

And most important, soldiers are expendable!

Solderers die, accidents happen.

You dont want to waste such great equipment for tards who are meant to die cheap.


In future when production and power sources become cheaper you will see combat armour especially when it comes in conjugation titch combat robots.

Anon trust me, solderers are meant to expendable, especially ground troops.

How'd you get so fucking retarded to think that the cost of a soldier is the equipment he wears?

Did you not think about, oh, I don't know, his pay, his meals, his transportation, his housing?

That's ignoring other shit like his training, his ammunition, his medical expenses, all the other retards in his class that couldn't make it, but you still had to pay for.

God damn, how could someone be such a fucking moron. Think before you post next time, mouthbreather.

>Stop spending 18 million on useless jets and issue one heavy armor dude per squad
Any amount of armor you put on a soldier or any amount of soldiers you put together is invalidated by a 'useless' jet dropping a bomb or doing a strafing run on them.

>Why the fuck are they using an outdated helmet design when knights had helmets protecting the face hundreds of years ago?
Same reason knights stopped using them; a bullet shot at your face is going to fuck you up no matter what you're wearing. They could design a helmet that stopped rifle bullets, but the problem is designing one that doesn't weigh a fuck-ton and protects your neck from breaking when a bullet slams into your helmet.

RETARD WARNING

Even if 800k a year was somehow cheap (it isn't), American soldiers lives are way more valuable than the cost to train them.

Commanders would sacrifice millions of dollars of equipment before one soldier, because americans do not tolerate mass american casualties well. 60,000 americans were killed in vietnam. Half a million VC/NVA were killed.

We lost, because americans got tired of US soldiers dying. Every time a soldier dies, it weakens the public's will to fight.

Losing a jet or a tank isn't a big deal because americans don't really give a shit about financial losses, they just care about when billy down the street doesn't get home.

Critical thinking, idiot.

I think it's more important to point out that if we had some hypothetical powered armours they'd go to Special Ops guys first, and lives of those dudes are much more valuable than an average grunt's because of their training and experience.

And it's not like military-industrial complex would not latch on an opportunity to R&D an expensive piece of tech to SAVE OUR BOYS.

We just don't have the battery tech yet, though.

Gee, wonder why it only carried on into the late 1600s. Why haven't the militaries of today adopted this bold new technology of covering people's faces with armor? You will never fully understand how much of a fucking retard you are.

>>382332553
Yeah, it's less Starship Troopers and more Power Rangers. Different colours might look better, don't lose hope yet. I really hate the helmet though.

We don't really have any material that could withstand a projectile with the velocity of a bullet that wouldn't make the soldier look like he's wearing a thick slab of metal in his face.

And that helmet for bomb disposal to deter shrapnel. And most of the time bomb disposal gear is simply a "at least you won't explode to tiny pieces we can't collect" kind of deal.

>>382333865
Are you dumb? Most military helmets aren't supposed to protect you from bullets beyond maybe 9mm. They're mostly there to protect from shrapnell and ricocheting shots and also protect your head in cramped spaces/from small debris.
Have you seen how massive the plates used in actual body armor are? That shit is heavy as fuck

>>382333950
Same reason why Spetznas are still trained to fight like ninjas.

>>382333950
Because giving soldiers more weight to carry, especially on the head, will cause them to get very very bad spine problems, more than they already do
getting money from the military because they made you do shit that caused serious health problems later in life is a very common thing, because the military is full of retards who don't understand how the human body works

The military has gotten rid of armour for most infantry type troops.

Or have you seen platoons in full plate toting machine guns around lately? They cost too much and have little protective effect. Mostly they just change the nature of dying from penetration to blunt trauma and impact.

And that's wrong. You should go on /tg/ some time (actually, don't).

Why? When the advantages outweigh the negatives.

1. It deflects away from the body, putting the striker off-balance.

2. It deflects towards the heart, at which point it doesn't penetrate and puts them off-balance

It's fuckin ridiculous how cool male armor is compared to female armor in MonHun.

I think it's just because you can't see the other person's face/body, so you care more about the person itself than what's inside the armor/helmet.

also anonymity is kinda hot

>soldierers are dirt cheap.

whoa hold on there you keyboard double nigger. a death of soldier/marine costs the military to pony up 400k to love ones. americas military pays big bucks to their soldiers. unless your talking about some shit country like south korea where they pay less than 100 dollars a month per soldiers then you have a point.

I honestly like the Faraam set better. It's so FLUFFY! And the helmet looks dope

The general rule is that if you're getting hit you've already fucked up. That's why armor only protects the torso, because it's the cheapest option while still keeping you alive from most shots that'll immediately kill you.

They didn't have helmets and in the case of the french, wore very flashy uniforms thinking their swag can lead them to victory at the start of the war. They ate almost all of the horses by 1915 and cavalry was deemed useless by first few months of the war, at least in the western front.

Power Swords and Fists have a forcefield designed to penetrate armour

Plus, you know, regular Space Marines still use knives as their most basic CQC weapon

He can punch through power armor with his bare hands, let alone using special energy sword.

It's some new prototype armor from Russia that is 99% not going to become a thing because it's just a meme
