Battlefield 6 is just a Milsim airsoft ;)

This is screenshot from Battlefield 6 trailer - can someone let me know why military would use mesh lower face protection?

To stop shrapnel, debris etc from hitting them in the face. Military and police have been using them for a long time

Wow - you learn every day!!!! 

Honestly I tough "real boys" would have something more sophisticated that what we commonly using on our game day

No point reinventing the wheel when a mesh mask will be just as good and cheap already. As for why a pilot would be wearing one, who knows. I imagine battlefield creators just thought it looked cool lol

Now I will wear it with pride as well

I mean they're using AliExpress gear in Ukraine rn on both sides. 

 

Partly out of desperation, partly because something that does a crap job is better than nothing at all.

This. Governments are notoriously tight fisted so would pick the cheapest option available (although it also wouldn't surprise me if they doubled the budget doing feasibility studies to tell them what anyone with common sense would already know)

I believe mesh masks are generally used when training with simunition.
