this one will be a bit tricky to get and explain, but i’ll try my best to be concise and direct on point.
first, let’s understand what modular textures are,
in short, these textures allows to be used on certain clothings without having to waste further space into creating up to 5+ texture for the same item.
here is an example:
in the old ways, enlisted developers used to create individual and separated textures for each model
and in the example above, there are 6 individual textures for those specific models due to meshes.
with the newer model, you can replace those 6 textures with the new modular textures, and save alot of space, as well as time.
because you will not have to create new textures for newer model as you can reuse the same pattern textures. and by reusing these modular texture and replace it on multiple items instead of having to create severe and separate textures like the old ways:
so, without wasting anyone else time, here is the suggestion.
Introduce the missing modular textures for all camouflages & factions:
with that being said, the new system introduced these modular camouflages, but there are still alot missing:
( note, i am asking to get a texture pattern to use on multiple items. and i’ll be using exiting items as reference. also, you can make them of basic colors instead of textures. for the sake of time and example, i just shown the " harder " example, as coloring is easier than applying textures without losing details. which used to be the case in the past. now instead, it’s simpler )
otherwise, it is possible to recolor of uni color some of the items:
withotu further ado, the missing modular camouflage based on existing pieces:

Japan & italian troops didn’t used camouflage as widely as the other nations. +, they already have the ones they need over their paratrooper units.
in conclusion
while it may sound or look crazy to introduce different variations of skins, the main idea is to add a base and foundations to later add more options without wasting time behind the texture process as it takes quite some time.
as well as provide matching option for all ( or at least, most ) camouflages options.
which can create for example, a fully unique customizable set THAT ACTUALLY MATCHES both the color, and pattern.
which will also create easier work.
this is probably already known to developers, but just as a reminder.
so yeah, that would be all from me.
