This may very likely be a troll/joke thread, but just in case it isn't

Now consider that in Dust a heavy suit is more bulky than a spacesuit, and yet you expect to be able to tell gender? NO 1. That woman is wearing male body armor. Poor comparison. 2. The Heavy Dropsuit is actually slightly less bulky than a spacesuit, and also not made of fabric.
1. There (2nd pic is especially good), female body armor. It doesn't look much different from a male's, the difference is how it fits.
2. The fact that it isn't made of fabric makes it even less likely to see curves. You're hurting your own case.
3. Heavy suits are basically exoskeltons, more akin to this covered in layers and layers of armor and tech. Not something form-fitting that would show the gender of the user.
I bet people will start asking for t!ts on MTACs next when called in by a female merc.

Not bad, Kagehoshi, not bad. KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf wrote:2. The fact that it isn't made of fabric makes it even less likely to see curves. You're hurting your own case. Don't you understand how fabric works? The more fabric you put on, the less visible the contours of your body are. On the other hand, something hard and solid like metal wouldn't do that on its own, because they're inflexible, which is why suits of armor were made to be form fitting for the wearer. Not to mention spacesuits are basically balloons. I'm not joking here, they're pumped full of air to keep your skin pressurized. KAGEHOSHI Hornded Wolf wrote:3. Heavy suits are basically exoskeltons, more akin to this covered in layers and layers of armor and tech. Not something form-fitting that would show the gender of the user. Except we know that's not the case. If it does have an exoskeleton, it must be a very small one, because there's no visisble trace of it on the outside of the dropsuit. Therefore, it stands to reason that there's no reason it shouldn't reveal the gender of the wearer.
"The Heavy dropsuit is a second-generation solution designed to withstand concentrated small arms fire and protect the wearer from the concussive, thermal, and impact forces of low-grade explosives. Additionally, its power-assisted exoskeleton facilitates usage of the heaviest caliber personal weapons. Heavy dropsuits lack the mobility of lighter suits, but this trade-off results in a defensive system that defies standard infantry conventions. No other classification of personal armor can claim to be able to stand toe-to-toe with enemy vehicles and survive."

How many layers of armor do you seriously think a person needs to wear for gender not to be noticeable? Sure the armor can be form fitting on the inside, but the shapes are lost after layers and layers of protection, which the heavy suit clearly has.
Even with the female body armor I showed you, you could see it doesn't look different from the outside (here is an even better pic). Perhaps modern body armor is too cloth-y, i which case I present to you metal armor (here) (here) (here), the armor doesn't have to reveal gender at all; especially for Dust where a heavy suit's protective plating is much much thicker. If there is enough chest space before the the first layer of armor, then there is need to shape it to conform to any gender's shape (which makes more sense for manufacturing purposes).
Jive turkeys trying to ruin my immersion.
