I was thinking a lot about cosmetics recently and how everyone could be happy with it. When customization will be released, i thought about a way how it could work:
I think a soldier should be customizable with the uniforms of the squads you have unlocked, not by buying special uniforms for golden eagles (or whatever the name of the ingame money is).
As an example: If you are campaign lvl 2 and only unlocked the infantry 1 and assaulter 1 squads, you can choose a squad to play and individually combine parts of the uniforms of the assaulter 1 and infantry 1 squads, (Ussr example: You can combine the helmet (head) of the infantry, nkvd coat (torso) of the assaulter squad and the pants and boots (bottom) of the infantry squad. Other uniforms of the squads you havent unlocked yet are still locked till you unlock them in the campaign. If you buy a premium squad, you can also use their uniform parts on free squads(what would make premium squads a little bit more interestin since they are unusable with only 4 soldiers) like the open ushanka hat of the premium engeneer squad on normal soldiers.
No “rambo” uniform bundles or paid helmets, just the uniforms of free and premium squads should be avialible and combinable,
Everyone would be happy
I think we will get customization soon. Just look at soldiers, they are totally naked - uniform, belt, helmet and sometimes one more thing. Back then they were fully geared-up, but it was removed.
