Revs, its issues, and some potential solutions

[Kotlol]

Also, make revflashes penetrate welding hats and sunglasses, but normal flashes not.

I knew this was gonna be a note I had to adress the moment you said "The rev flash is blocked too easily"

Alright then let's get to this point 1st. The Revflash is a flash that gives a light signal to the brain to become a Revolutionary. Anything that blocks the signals will make it fail. That is the "concept"

If someone is wearing a Welding Mask the whole time has one major disadvantage, their sight is blurred and very dark, but in my opinion they also need to have a less line of sight as well.

And sunglasses block harmfull light from the eyes, but not fully.

Infact.. sunglasses do not BLOCK FLASHES, they minimalize them to tolerable levels. Infact I can tolerate flashes without sunglasses unless there are alot of them, then I need shades too, but the burn in can still happen with them.
Infact on RP the sunglasses from the pool do not block flashes either.. they make the stun less impactfull and the stamina damage. So sunglasses not blocking RevFlash is totally acceptable, but... The captain will NOT have a defense against Revs at the start with their shades and it;s why they wear shades... TO AVOID BEING FLASHED. Insted I move to make the captain's glasses.. "DARK TINTED SUNGLASSES" a new sub type that DOES block flashes and Revflashes.

Now for the welding Mask one, just give it a vision nerf, but keep it from blocking revflashes. Infact blind people are immune to flashes and revflashes too and I say welding masks annoy my eyes if I keep em on too much since the saturation annoys my eyes, but that's not a fun game play mechanic.. since if I play on higher saturation and brightness the problem is medigated.. (until I take it off then MY EYES!) So doing a lighter filter + taking away a few squares of vision would make this a good fix... but still block Revflashes since you are "blinding" youself.

Sec-Huds block them naturally.

I just think once Rev's are announced people should have a way to fight them without resorting to simple ways like wearing a welding mask and sunglasses since they are easy to find, but by removing sunglasses and restricting it to welding masks, while limiting vision of Welding masks might stop people from wearing them all the time.

Now as for the rest of the idea.. I wouldn't know how it feels as I never played a headrev before. But I understand the flash debate.
