80% of the cosmetic shown, always have been inside the editor.
which those cosmetics came with stalingrad ( the same update that the editor got introduced to the public ).
which, by now, it’s almost one year.
and the cosmetics only got one update in all of this time. which basically added the ability to get some uniforms from some squads, to others squads.
but even then, medics or sniper cosmetics couldn’t and cannot still be used outside their squad for whatever reason.
they had planty of time, and yet they didn’t.
not to sounds harsh, but most of the cosmetics that are available were previously used in events, and competitive loadouts.
there is nothing new.
so i doubt what you said, are the reasons.
because again, those cosmetics are still there and have been sitting there from so long.
midly infuriating, is that they actually created a gas mask and give it for the primitive panzershrek in no time, and actually changed the USA tanker uniform with the company decal.
even worse, they often changed cosmetics for squads through out time, which didn’t took them long, but then they claim that it does, and failed to deliver tunisia customization in this update.
i’m afraid they are lazy or simply do not care.
