Add missing medic components of customization for certain factions

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

a brief of context

greetings.

today i come with yet another non-priority suggestion.

one that aims to provide certain cosmetic items both for mods, and eventually the base game.

primarily covering:

• historical gear

which translates for gameplay perspective as:

• more items
  and consequentially,
• more choices

with that being said,

Main Suggestion

as the name of the suggestion implies, it would be great to add the missing medic related customization components for all factions.

which in some situation implies just an armband on the left arm, or full tunics similar to the premium ones. mostly because most factions are either lacking iconic ones, or in ussr, uk & italy cases, lack most options.

without further ado,

USA missing medic tunics :

M41 with medic armband

which we do lack in the base game.

so, take the two existing M41 tunic, create a new template and apply an armband to it:

• attachable_wear_jacket_m41_item
  

• attachable_wear_jacket_m41_w_scarf_item

• attachable_wear_jacket_m41_w_scarf_white_item
  

Airborne M42 Paratrooper jump jacket

• attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_olive_item
  attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_olive_w_parachute_item
  

• attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_item
  attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_w_parachute_item
  

• attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_light_w_parachute_item
  attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_light_item
  

• attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_frog_w_parachute_item
  attachable_wear_airborne_jacket_frog_item
  

M37 Shirt

//

• attachable_wear_m37_combat_shirt_item
  

Coat with armband

( yes, brown. not green. but that’s another discussion for another time )

Ussr :

the ussr is the most problematic one given that it does not have many medic options beside older jacket models. literally all they have, are m35 jackets even in 1943 / 1944.

( couldn’t find many pictures in all honesty )

hence, the ussr needs:

first and foremost:

Soviet SSh40 helmet with medic markings

M35 summer tunic with armbands

• attachable_wear_tunic_01_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_01_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_m43_no_str_ussr_item
  

attachable_wear_tunic_01_white_ussr_summer_item

Soviet winter m35 jacket

attachable_wear_tunic_02_medic_ussr_winter_item

this one has been sitting in the editor for long, it could be dusted off you know

( could come in other colors too: )

• attachable_wear_tunic_07_ussr_winter_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_02_ussr_winter_br_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_07_ussr_winter_br_item
  

attachable_wear_tunic_02_ussr_winter_bl_item

M43s with armband

m43 tunics with armbands

• attachable_wear_tunic_01_nkvd_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_brown_08_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_08_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_08_1_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_martial_01_lightgr_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_martial_01_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_martial_01_1_ussr_summer_item
  

Coats with armbands:

• attachable_wear_overcoat_01_grl_ussr_winter_item
  

• attachable_wear_overcoat_01_gr_ussr_winter_item
  attachable_wear_overcoat_01_tankers_gr_ussr_winter_item
  

• attachable_wear_engineers_overcoat_2_ussr_winter_item
  

• attachable_wear_overcoat_radioman_01_3_ussr_winter_item

• attachable_wear_engineers_overcoat_3_ussr_winter_item
  attachable_wear_overcoat_radioman_01_3_ussr_winter_item
  

• attachable_wear_engineers_overcoat_ussr_winter_item

attachable_wear_overcoat_04_ussr_winter_item

and last but not least,

Amoeba camouflage jacket

• attachable_wear_tunic_ameba_ussr_lgreen_b_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_ameba_ussr_summer_item
  

• attachable_wear_tunic_ameba_a_ussr_green_summer_item
  

Germany :

now, unlike other factions, germany is the one with the most cosmetic for medics. and it’s lovely to see.
although, a couple would be great to see as well:

Fallshirmjeager with medical cloth / armband

( now, it shows both a medical cloth and an armband. but truth be told, an armband would be fine )

on the following items:

Knochensachs M40

attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_olive_w_fliegerbluse_item

• attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_w_fliegerbluse_item
  
• attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_sumpftarn_gr_w_fliegerbluse_item
  

attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_splinter_green_w_fliegerbluse_item

attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_sumpftarn_br_w_fliegerbluse_item

• attachable_wear_knochensack_m40_w_fliegerbluse_parachute_item

&

M38 fallshirmjeager helmet

( The following will make less sense as in now, because there are no british or italian medics, but eventually, and for mods, will become beneficial to have )

Italy :

Grigio verde M40 tunic with armband

• attachable_wear_grigio_verde_m40_item
  

Medical M33 Helmet

and to conclude this suggestion:

Commonwealth

Brodie helmet with medical markings

• helmet_brit_a_item
  ( minus the face plate… of course )

• attachable_wear_uk_denison_smock_2nd_pattern_stroke_b_w_parachute_item
  
• attachable_wear_uk_denison_smock_2nd_pattern_stroke_d_item
  

Battle-Dress Serge Tunic

• attachable_wear_serge_battle_dress_tunic_KD_uk_item
  

• attachable_wear_serge_battle_dress_tunic_uk_item

P.S.

i didn’t covered japan one because japan didn’t had many uniform variations.

and, the base medic squad one does the job.

although, i must admit. i’m not too familiar with japan uniforms.
so, any additional suggestions related to japan ( and non ) are welcome and i’ll eventually include them.

additional note,
i didn’t covered rolled / shirts either.
mostly because i think these ones will gave planty of work already.
beside, medics squads do not have access to most of said shirts anyway.

[Adamnpee]

Tbh, I am not really excited about more medic outfits since they reversed cross colors.

[Greyparrots]

with how things are going I’d say this topic is a waste of time considering We lock away content for no reason and we also do stupid things for no reason and someone is lost in the abyss.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

well, eventually with textures we will be able to revert them.

or for example, create new ones. ( like the green crosses on white armbands )

but this suggestion is more about including missing pieces.

personally, i hate that i have to use m44s or m43s tunics for my medics in campaigns that weren’t supposed to show up.

now, i am not asking to remove anachronistic options from certain campaigns, just to add more to please everyone.

and worse for the soviets, they have no items with armbands beside the m35 officer jacket.

EVEN for berlin.
where would have been mostly phased out.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i wouldn’t have bothered either.

but unfortunately, modders cannot edit meshes.
so i can’t just make them on my own either.
hence, why i decided to make a suggestion.

[Naohmcete]

as usual japan its mising, let me help a bit too

concept with short shirt and not the long one we have in game (I am sure I am missing more but I cant find more)

Extracted from Australian War Memorial (in Thailand seems)

@ErikaKalkbrenner

This gives battlefield 1 vibes

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

scrapped content from Crsed, the grand daddy of enlisted .

we can reuse it.

granted, as specified:

@ErikaKalkbrenner

( minus the face plate… of course )

[SzepWaxweiler]

About Japan Erika there isn’t much clothes to be had beside the one in game I can add few options but I want to know that these weren’t meant for medics but rather were meant for patients

The reason why medic squads weren’t as popular as in west was because of Bushido code , if you fight , you fight until you die if you get injured you bring shame to yourself and family so normally many soldiers rather die than be healed by medic also as result of negligence of Medics , Japanese army lost more men to dieses in Burma than to fighting

[Ianciafiamme-live]

You are never getting the old white german medic helmet back… especially that paratrooper one.

I think why they haven’t been improved is because they don’t care about customization and that skirting around the red cross white background thing is very annoying and can result in them looking bad (this is the case for german helmets i feel)

@ErikaKalkbrenner

dusted off you know

This one is perfect, no reason why it’s not in… the ssh40 and british ones are lost hope as they would have to butcher the design

@ErikaKalkbrenner

[Spiderkingthe10-live]

When we taking back Jerusalem?

[Comrade_Sina]

To do this, we need an alliance of knights and Muslims.

[Spiderkingthe10-live]

@Comrade Sina

To do this, we need an alliance of knights

Would soviets wearing the turtle armor count?

[Comrade_Sina]

It will definitely balance this battle!

[CaptainBeel]

In fairness I have been asking for more desert maps.

Syria-Lebanon campaign with Australia VS Vichy French Id love to see.

Not sure if there was fighting in British Palestine in WWII?

I know there was fighting in Iraq and Iran. IIRC the Russians and the British jointly invaded Iran to stop the Axis?
