Sunglasses for bluFOR?

[05grottim]

that's a good idea and pretty cool although im not sure how easy that would be to implement.

There was a mod including something like this, you pressed 7 to turn them on of off like the way night vision goggles work .

Well, they wouldn't have to be sunglasses, though that would be cool.

Arn't they eye protection goggles/glasse rather than sunglasses?
Like, to stop dust, dirt and stones hitting the soldiers in the eyes.
Either way some of the protective glasses look like sunglasses so it's not a huge thing.

+1 for the googles.
-1 for the glasses. Say NAY to Holywood.

there are many pics of soldiers with the sunglasses (well the things that look like sunglasses)

Should have a combination between full seal goggles and ballistic sun glasses. In the US Army most common i seen are ESS land ops or ESS vehicle ops. It's got interchanable lenses for clear or tinted

would be a cool feature

The British Army's Automatic Rifleman has tinted ballistic goggles, so they are kind of already in game.
And I suppose adding more of those isn't a bad thing; it would probably be nice to kind of give some 'different features' in the faces of soldiers.


It just comes down to choosing what kits get tinted or clear goggles.


IMO, Desert-Camo crewman should definitely have tinted goggles, whereas Forest-Camo crewman could have either.
Desert-Camo infantry should have a mix, but I would assume that more of them would have tinted goggles... Officers should probably have tinted ones, for sure, and medics might be best off with the goggles being clear or up on their heads. ARs should probably have tinted as well.




All aesthetic stuff, but it would just kind of add to the look of US soldiers, and I'm sure british soldiers could get a few more where necessary, not to mention other BluFor soldiers.

I'm not talking about goggles. I wouldn't suggest getting goggles because they are ugly as crap. Sunglasses are cool and I'd reckon more soldiers wear sunglasses than goggles, because I see numerous pics with US soldiers wearing sunglasses AND having their goggles around their helmet.
