As long as it hits the thing, but considering how wide, and open it is, I would suspect your more likely to be in your skull. It probably did perform better, but with advances in modern ammunition, deflection isn’t really a thing anymore, any decent bullet from a decent gun is going to go straight through.

And it was generally regarded as one of the worst helmets of the war, they’re is a reason the shape isn’t used anymore.

Helmets were always about shrapnel, not bullets. And you're very unlikely to get projectiles coming at you from underneath, which is the only situation where the newer Stahlhelm is less protective.

Let’s just hope those projectiles don’t come from the side or back either or your fucked.

The vast majority come from above. That's why the Tommy helmet was shaped the way it was, although it may have gone too far.

Helmets don't protect you against bullets at best they stop 9mm like the psat but everyone uses rifles in military. They mostly protect you falling objects, pic related.
