Concerning the British Army headwear

[Terry Tibbs]

Quick question about the choice of headwear for the British Army squad leader and medic (I've searched and found nothing under titles for "headwear" or "beret".)

Do British medics often wear boonie hats and do both medics and squad leaders usually go without helmets in combat situations? Just seems a bit odd to me. Considering how OTT our government can often be with regard to safety issues, this choice of headwear comes across as decidedly un-British

Pretty sure ALL Soldiers that are in fighting in combat wear the combat helmets

Yh, runnning round an area full of enemies you'd be pretty mental not to.

When the British army models were made it was still usual for British troops to wear soft hats while out on operations. The situation has now changed, but its an entirely cosmetic change and so is low prioity

Not to forget it just looks good and makes them stand out from the other player models
