@@demanischaffer If the system is sealed, it shouldn't be able to get in- That's why it's Airtight. Battle damage could potentially ruin a suit seal, however. See: Halo, where Spartan suits are sealed but in ine of the first battles Spartans had with their suits, they lost a man, as his seal would have been breached and heading back out into space would have been death. There's probably a switch or mode of some sort that needs to be activated to trigger the seal, maybe a failsafe as well that triggers in a vacuum. Failing to do so early would lead to doubts about whether the system is sucessful, so it's more reasonable to treat yourself as infected.

Some thoughts that will no doubt be lost in the sea of comments. The body gloves would also act as a pressure suit as part of operating in a vacuum and not just for thermal control. Current space suit tech uses semi-rigid and "hard" segments connected with joints as to apply enough air pressure in the suit against the astronauts body to prevent injury while still allowing for motion(speaking very generally). These body gloves would be similar to the Mars suits used in the Martian or other "Skintight" suits in development, and apply this pressure against the body with physical compression instead of atmospheric pressure. The advantage of this "Mechanical counter pressure suit" is that it would be inherently more flexible than a traditional suit which becomes more rigid as greater amounts of air pressure is applied (you're basically in a balloon). Which is also one reason why current suits run at relatively low air pressure necessitating pre-breathing and decompression similar to scuba divers. Also, EVA suits are typically on pure Oxygen, like Scuba, instead of mixed gasses as found on the ISS and Earth. Suits use pure oxygen because it helps avoid decompression sickness because it lacks an inert gas, like Nitrogen. But mixed gases environments are safer and... etc. Skintight Suits, applying pressure mechanically, would therefor not require any connection to a breathing apparatus and only to whatever thermal system Star Wars tech can fit in there. If you want to get sci fi here, combine the function of a pilots G-Suit to a troopers suit and you could add some additional capabilities that could help in high-g situations/environments or possibly life-saving situations with a g-suits ability to force blood flow away from the legs and back towards the torso and head. If you want to stay with current tech "realism," then presume there is no active thermal control system thus why the suit can only be used in a hard vacuum for a limited time. Or longer in simply "low pressure" environments. Current Skintight designs don't allow for thermal control aside from perspiration. Which has its limits. In addition, only the helmet would need an atmosphere supply for the trooper (those air hoses connecting to the pilots helmets make more sense now). Greatly simplifying life-support systems as well as requiring a significantly lower volume of air to fill the cavity. As well as the systems ability to keep pressure near 1 atmosphere, skipping a need for pre-breathing and allowing use of mixed-gasses which could more easily be refilled in situ with just a simple pump. This layer would also most certainly be flame resistant. As well as puncture resistant. Both for obvious reasons.

[@jackodonail1980]

Considering how clone armour had built in temperature regulation, that active thermal control system would be perfectly feasible in-universe. Exceptional analysis I must say.

Fun fact: In real life, shrapnel kills and injures more soldiers than bullets by a large margin. The body armor issued to US personnel during the Vietnam conflict reduced casualties by a substantial margin. It could stop grenade fragments but not bullets.

My favorite armor would probably have to be the ARF Troopers' Phase ll armor. It looks extremely practical and would be quite useful for a lot of scenarios. P.S. , does your gaming network include the game World of Warships?

I love how bro opens the video about the significance of the clone helmet with the durpiest 501st helmet I have ever seen

[@liquidsquid2306]

I think many people assume that clone and stormtrooper armor ist ineffective because the armor plates are thin and flexible to an degree. They main point behind the plates is heat distribution and not ballistic protection.

"By far the most recognizable symbol of the Clone Wars is the clone trooper helmet." All of the CIS, young Anakin and Obi Wan and Palpatine, and Clone Wars era capital ships: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@Euroland07]

327th Star Corps are probably my favourite looking Phase 2s.

[@mikkelnpetersen]

Don't forget the fact that, because all the clones were the same body size, the factory making the armor, only needed to make 1 size of each, making it cheaper. One size fits all, when all are the same size.

[@robertagu5533]

I see the Clone armor as rather innovative and useful... and protecting. The Stormtroopers werent meant to be an wasnt designed for it far as I know. It's the Sith military there not the Republic so you know differences in philosophy and costs. Even in the Imperial or Resistance Era ones probably better off with Clone armor then Stormtrooper

[@self-satisfiedsmirk5544]

Actually, stormtrooper armor improved on just about every feature in clone trooper armor, from HUD capabilities, imaging displays, communications, and yes, general protection to the wearer.

[@heliveruscalion9124]

@@self-satisfiedsmirk5544 from what I've heard (atleast in disney canon, though i don't know too too much about legends) the helmets were a decent bit cheaper than clone helmets and tended to be described as clunky, uncomfortable, and hard to see out of

[@kauko_zzz]

Where would the clones need range finders if their shots (which if I am not mistaken are plasma) would only react minimally to gravity or wind?

[@AedanTheGrey]

There's likely dissipation and energy bleed over range. Hence long range sniper blasters' power cells only managing a handful of shots versus the 50 on a carbine (plus the obvious hit power difference).

Clone armor is just absolute perfection in terms of design

[@benharvey462]

[@darkpit37]

The body glove regulating temperature is pretty genius. A soldier would be highly susceptible to overheating and even heatstroke, especially in the middle of combat and with all the other armor on. In fact, I'm personally surprised temperature regulation isn't part of real life military gear.

[@zachryanderson6521]

Some spec ops in the real world do use temperature regulation, but you rarely hear about those units.

[@linewater2690]

Paratrooper, ARF Trooper, ARC Trooper, and Commando Trooper helmets are some of the best looking in my opinion...

[@02091992able]

The idea behind the armor wasn't to stop a blaster bolt but to dissipate the energy of it. It acts as a ablative armor rather than a physical one ablative armors are designed to boil away taking energy out of the attack. Modern Composite armors have components designed to boil away taking the energy out of a shape charge round like a HEAT round that along with spacing in between the layers dissipate the energy and deflect the jet of molten metal away from the vehicle's internal compartments that is pretty much like a blaster bolt. Clone Trooper and Storm Trooper armors are designed to do the same thing making it more likely the wearer of the armor will survive being shot also to be light enough for a person to wear without mechanical aid. They never reveal in the movies if every single stormtrooper or clone trooper died from behind shot well except for the few that got cut down by lightsaber or decapitated as it really doesn't protect against that kind of attack. Much like how bullet proof vest protect the user from most bullets but they can be stabbed.

[@sashabraus9422]

To be fair, clone armor can block blaster bolts. We've seen it happen when Rex used his helmet as a shield in Rebels, but sometimes the blasters have plot ammo that destroys plot armor

[@thrasherofspinchters6530]

I think the phase one ARF helmets are fucking awesome and the Phase two BARC helmets look dope as hell too. Also, I like your other channel a good bit too

[@theoangelakis4694]

I like rex's helmet and and the jetpack usually used by the 104th, with the skirt thingies.

[@snakeshadow6279]

I still think it makes more sense for the pauldron to denote ARC training, similar to tabs in the real-world US Army. After all, pauldrons being associated with ARC troopers would make anyone wearing a similar armor set a rallying point, just like anyone with the right tabs IRL with Rangers garnering almost instant respect from non-rangers.

[@jacobrigby3172]

like when I was a kid I thought what was the point of helmets in WW1/WW2 if they didn't stop rifle bullets, then I found out most casualties before helmet implementation was from debris thrown from artillery blasts landing on heads. That being said I don't recall seeing any clones killed by shrapnel or debris, only point blank explosions and direct hits with blasters, and even then I'm convinced that many clones, while being incapacitated by said blaster bolt, may have lived to fight another day

[@etinarcadiaego7424]

If I found myself a real set of clone, Stormtrooper, or Mandolorian armor, I'd never wear anything else. Ever.

[@Trey_816]

My favorite clone trooper helmet is the ARF (Advanced Recon Force) helmet.

[@bonzwah1]

The canon (even during expanded universe times) was kinda inconsistent. I really liked the idea that the armor actually WAS blaster resistant. that blasterfire had to hit the gaps in the armor to be one shot kills, and that even though direct hits to the strong part of the armor would often take someone out of the fight, the armor still prevented the bolt from doing instantly fatal damage. Basically, I like anything that makes the role of body armor in star wars similar to the role of body armor in modern military context. It is more about increasing survival rate than it is about increasing the ability to win any particular gunfight (not that knowing that you were more likely to survive getting shot wouldn't give you a mental advantage in a gunfight).

[@GrasshopperKelly]

It did stop blaster bolts.... There's just a problem with being hit by a dozen of them... Or how high a power the weapon launching them is... Most of the storm troopers you see "dead" after one hit, are actually unconscious (no I'm not joking), the heat energy is very quickly dispersed across their body glove after the plates absorb as much of the impact and initial heat transfer as possible. This however, tends to overwhelm the body's nervous system, knocking the soldier out for a while. But ultimately, saving their life if it's a bolt too strong for the armour to absorb completely. Yes, we do see soldiers like Fives get hit in the chest with a pistol and it go right through, but ignoring plot based deaths, the armour does its job.

[@AedanTheGrey]

Those pistols are also 'Heavy Pistols'. Which can go through armor and clone armor isn't as good as storm armor.

[@redacted7846]

If clone troopers Armor could help them against even the most extreme temperatures then why do clone troopers and storm troopers need snow armor

[@Ajc-ni3xn]

“All clone troopers were playing with aimbot” SWTCW clones: “...”

[@H_Hold]

It really wasnt designed to stop blaster bolts it was designed to disperse the heat over a wider area giving the clone a less serious injury
