Everybody knows that even highly skilled stormtroopers have problems hitting their target with their helmets on. It must be a nightmare to go into battle with the knowledge that even if you empty your blaster rifle at close range there is a good chance that you didn’t hit the target even once. For the average stormtrooper this makes for a quite frustrating experience. If they manage to survive the battle.

In any case, this new model takes a different approach. Instead of fitting the helmet with the usual gadgets like automatic polarizing and anti-flash blinding lenses, MFTAS, a comlink and other nonsense that didn’t work half the time, the Empire went for a complete redesign. So now if they can’t shoot their enemies, then maybe this new helmet will at least distract them long enough for the troopers to throw a couple of thermal detonators their way.
