Hello comrades!
I wanted to ask, still why can´t we customize the halloween squads skins?
For Moscow, Ardennes and Stalingrad i do not want my soldier to look like this…

That’s intentional decision made by devs, it is not a bug.
Basically no one does.
But somehow devs are forcing this look to players for whatever reason.

They could have at least given him sleeves in those 3 campaigns haha…

reason why is because as experimented in the past,
if you change their unique cosmetics, you’ll end up losing them without the ability to get them back.
which it’s why they initially removed the customization for the whole squad, and then “fixed it” by only allowing the soldiers inside the squad to be customizable. ( something like, 7 months after mind you )
the other reason it’s because they do not want users being able to take off this tunic and give it to someone else within the squad or worse, outside the squad. which in order to edit this soldier and avoid the first issue, developers would need to add this single cosmetic within the squad preset and normally cannot be " forced " upon soldiers.
the only way was ( which they did ) was through strict and make players unable to customize the event soldier to begin with.
sort of a halfbaked solution as we see since he does not wear or… have sleeves for cold enivorement to avoid a problem that they introduced in the first place.

Terrible decision.
Instead, they should made the special customization be buyable for the whole squad (if someone wants to look as clown, it’s up to him) just like they did it with premium german guerillas and other squads with unique leaders.
To completely lock customization options from players is extremely user unfriendly for no good reason whatsover.

This is exactly what I want
I don’t want this:
Or Yasuke:
I just want the squads
PS on the RU forum the CM confirmed it might be coming

can’t get rid of these event soldiers either.
otherwise players would be able to use them elsewhere.
( more problematic with the german engineer being able to wield machineguns )
hence, they opted to lock them to these squads.
i… guess after all the " other " main appeal of each squads.
i even suggested to rework his tunic:
( not perfect obviously. but as a proof of concept )
but as often, falls on deaf ears.

Or maybe the Devs just don’t care
they sure give that impression.
but then delivers half baked solutions…
when a proper one could have been introduced instead 
perhaps… a little they do.
not… sure.
imo, it’s just insulting to both the players who deserves better, and the 3d modeler that can be talented in delivering decent and accurate cosmetics ( … except the HW ones. pure abominations. they would have falled under the april fool chars being generally only accessible for the editor… ( even though they planned on introducing them if we didn’t stopped them. kinda like these HW. hence… they are bad because also available in the base game )

hat with earflaps of a Soviet squad leader making me mad! 
He’s also got a name of a real partisans leader and this awful hat looks foolish
Apparently… despite my jacked reinhard looking perfectly fine in his custom tunic they had clipping issues so they just axed them all.
Quite a shame… i target people based on outfits and i’m 100% sure other people do as well and whenever i see this guy i make sure to take him out… you can see where this is going.
Euth said it was because of clipping… i find this excuse somehow even more pathetic.
well, you can find bug reports of said items disappearing once some user changed the headgears or the torso.
i do not think clipping played a major role tbh.
although it’s kinda telling if those were their primary concern.
considering that in the past they did edited meshes to accomodate more pants without clipping for example, on VS uniforms.
but okay…
