Swordsman422 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I personally would appreciate this option, too. I'd also like the F-14B crew to be wearing HGU-55s or -68s instead of the HGU-33s they have, but HB already said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buschwick Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) i don't imagine HB is ready for all of the inevitable complaints about how many freckles or eyelashes the cg faces have if they did lift the visors. "His pupils don't adjust to different lighting conditions...they're always the same size! When will this be fixed?!"

Gunslinger22 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 +1 similar to the P-51 pilot, feels weird always having the non transparent visor down. "I'm just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesvf103 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yeah since it's supposed to be mostly 80s era I can see them saying no to the -55 and the -68. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day. I would have 80 pounds of flesh to eat and a pair of glasses to start a fire." --F/A-18 Hornet pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HGU-33 in this configuration was on its way out by 1987. The ASEs took the visor covers off and reconfigured them to look like HGU-55s right around that time until they got actual HGU-55s. Then the -68's came along in the mid-90s. I mean, I get it. Thanks to Top Gun, this configuration of the HGU-33 is considered the classic Tomcat helmet even if it was only in service for a very few short years.
