Aside from having a shield generator, commando armor is generally similar to standard clone armor, so the HUD is presumably similar for troopers. It also links to the commando’s blasters for additional accuracy and squadmates to keep track of their location. The HUD, partially for gameplay purposes, shows the commando’s vital signs (health in gameplay terms) and the suit’s deflector shields. The game shows that, despite a thin visor, clone commando helmets give their wearers excellent visibility in addition to their robust heads-up display (HUD). The game is told entirely from a first-person perspective, with the player seeing through the eyes of the clone commando “Boss,” who wears his helmet for the whole game, aside from several brief moments in the tutorial. The most in-depth look at what clones see when wearing their helmets in Legends comes from the 2005 Clone Wars era video game Star Wars: Republic Commando. Nevertheless, both phases and their variants provided clones with full visibility and a heads-up display to assist them in battle.

In Legends, Phase II was a vast improvement over the already-sturdy Phase I suits, but in canon, Phase II was a downgrade (likely due to the Republic’s waning resources). In both canon and the original timeline, Legends, clone troopers wore two phases of armor during the three-year Clone Wars. Clone Troopers wear protective suits of armor in the Star Wars prequels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, but what do they actually see when wearing their iconic Star Wars helmets? Clone troopers are among the best equipped and effective non-Force using warriors in the galaxy, and their armor is only second to Mandalorian beskar in protectiveness.
