Aren't the mechwarrios supposed to be half-naked in the cockpit anyway, in the lore?

Not asking for a female model mind you. But will pay MC for hairy legs + dirty underwear skin.

Yes, and that's one of the absolute dumbest and worst parts about the lore that deserves to be ignored. Full body suit is better all day everyday.

But seriously though, female armor can still look good while actually offering protection from attacks, without being overly sexualized to fulfill the fantasies of teenage boys.

Agreed. But having actually fought women in armor in RL (rapier and claymore), even the most modest armor still has extra room in to torso for breasts. Its not unisex. Unless they are flat-chested.

If it's a shell style hard armor, then yes. You don't exactly see a lot of heaving bosom through your average flak jacket or police issue bullet proof vest. But even shell armor isn't usually designed as a steel bra.

Speaking as a woman, friends...

...I'd expect not to see any bodacious ta-tas underneath a cooling vest and coveralls.

Just saying.

[MischiefSC]

I find the whole thing terribly distasteful and biased.

How can you say you're even trying?

No Tetatae model of either gender?

If there is not a Tetatae with excited flapping every time you get a kill then I don't see a point in it at all.

These would be highly athletic, military women, with lower than average body fat %'s we're talking about. Sure, there will definitely be curves and a generally feminine shape, but giant breasts wouldn't be very common within the context of what physique mechwarriors would theoretically be in.

[MechWarrior4023212]

I am sure that soon we can buy new pilot skins for MC!

[Sigilum Sanctum]

Does this mean if you cucks get your oversexualized female models I get my oversexualized male models because I'm gay and deserve to be catered too?

If not you guys are discriminatory and should feel bad.

Good God. Aresye and I agree on something! Yes, I endorse this observation.

I need a bare chested male pilot with a massive bulge and perma-erection.

Dont forget the copious amounts of sweat.

Even that isn't realistic. You don't need to make armor that shapes itself to breasts. The same exact armor worn by men is generally what is worn by women.

Right. I think you misunderstood my meaning, as your pics just make my point. Even the "chesty" police officer is straining behind her flak jacket, and there is currently a movement in US military to design body armor that better fits the female form. And if you look closely at your last pic, you'll notice her armor is bowed out to make room for her breasts.

Don't get me wrong - I think the "sexy armor" approach is stupid and unrealistic. But so is that Stormtrooper armor meme (which is more about giving people opportunity to Virtue Signal to the world that they are SO not sexist dontchaknow).

Women don't want sexualized armor, but they also want to be able to breathe.

Talking medieval armor, you're not going to get that much of a bulge after the gambeson and everything else.

Yes, the final piece, shell/hard armor has to have some consideration (As I stated in my comment). But even a busty woman in hard armor, isn't falling out of her breastplate the way the kiddies want.

21 years in the SCA agree with this.

No, its really not. Despite the current PCBS narrative, women are different than men - they have 10% less bone density, 10% less hemoglobin, 10% more body fat. And even with a B cup, they need to breathe.

Again, I fight with women in real life using swords and armor (HEMA & SCA also) Some can fit into male armor, most cannot and need a little more room up top.
