What doesn't make sense? It's to protect the pilot in the head, you know guys. (lol)
The battroid needs to aim and fire the bloody thing which takes time (what, 5 seconds?), it protects the flippin sensory from attack while it is vulnerable.
Same goes for the Metal Siren i guess... ploughing through flagships, cover up, bust open, release magical electro waves. :lol: lol!!
For the record i hate the "helmets" on both the Siren and II. I'd mod mine without them, Siren would be hard seeing as it's not armour to disregard, unlike the SAP.
wtf after all those years (2SS is after all the 2nd latest high end Valkyrie) why they wouldn't figure out a pinpoint barrier strong enough to not need the extra armour...
And yes, all Valkyrie needs sunglasses.... dammit. Especially Basaras.
