Well, at least now we have Marines for those skins/ uniforms.

the camouflage above itā€™s essentially a " netflix adapation " / reimaginated.

similar to the enlisted german leibermuster, or the "green ( cheese ) splintermuster )

what this camouflage is probably based off, is the frog tan camouflage;

which we have,

the usm 28ā€™s tommy:
( pacific pre order squad and then separated to an assaulter br II squad )

image

and the second cloest, is the event paratrooper squad with the m1a1 carbine

which they can get as an option:

and then we have more greener options, such as:

which wellā€¦

the issue with the US is that, in real life, they didnā€™t had many camouflages.
part of the reason was, the germans did had camouflages. and in the heat of battles, friendly fire was a major concern. so for the most part in the mediterranean sea and on the western front, camouflages werenā€™t widely used.

so, thatā€™s why camouflages for the US almost look all the same, itā€™s because they didnā€™t actually had many camouflages to begin with.
the same goes with UK, and even Japan ( with each having only one or very few patterns )

but as it goes for enlisted, since you can use some frog camouflages in normandy across some squads, the issue lies for pretty much any other faction.

a lack of a proper and lackluster customization.

and the options are;

  • make up / invent new camouflages
    ( like H&G did, and itā€™s where opā€™s photo comes from but we have such cases in enlisted too. so, i guess as long they are realistic. why not. but the zombo tanks proved us otherwise. so it shouldnā€™t be an issue either )

or,

  • improve and enhance the current ones.

which can be done through patches over the uniform, more equipment, accessories, and on and on.

and patches used to be a thing.

and they even used some of them in the promotional material for the ā€œā€œrecentā€ā€ US filthy 13s
( more precisely, the 100 rounds paratrooper. and i guess only 6 " filthies " in this case :upside_down_face: )

image
( which yes, you shouldnā€™t trust promotional material. but these type of promo materials are actually made with game assets within the editor )

not so long ago, you were able to wear a patch on the us tanker uniform.

before they messed up the LOD as wellā€¦

so, now you can only see the patch if the soldier you are looking at, is far from 20 meters. if you get too close, the patch will disappear.

would you like to see made up uniforms for camo variations ?
i wouldnt mind :no_mouth:

Still better than the Soviet camo from the Cold War if you ask me.

im seeing now the variations
but man this is sad
so this US camo is restricted to the para squad event
i cant equip it to a regular rifleman squad. :smiling_face_with_tear:

personally.
no.

i much rather have authentic camouflages and equipment pieces.

but then againā€¦

we have things like this:

when in reality should look like this one below.

iā€™d like to premise that, yes, there were of such colors:
3a9a69a61b022146248fa05bb6f75bca--ww-uniforms-german-uniforms
but the volkssturm had either gray or dark green uniforms.

which iā€™m not opposed to having more variety, or in this case, " close enough / realistic ". but the lack of option is. and they went for the less realistic one instead.

orā€¦ what the hell is even this:

i have never seen such green splintermustern.

not even luftwaffes ones ( which were more green than others )

and there are many other cases to.
japanese one for example, which itā€™s much watered down version of what itā€™s supposed to be.

then you have the pants as well, that in most cases donā€™t even match with the torso.

soā€¦ ehā€¦
idk.

which one.

the green ameba?

i donā€™t recall any.

( unsurprisingly ) soviet customization is pretty much for the most part, a 1:1 scale compared to others factions.

i knowā€¦

which i donā€™t get.

you have things like:

which are pretty much spot one.

we then dive into theā€¦ ā€œrealisticā€ ones.

not 101 but closely.

up until you get that, or this:

which, idk. never seen this one either.

i could be wrong, as there could be some proto / unknown camouflages and what not.
but quite confident this one didnā€™t existed either.

usually camo pants are lighter and / or matches tops.

in Hng there was barely 2 or 4 maps i dont remember :smiley:
you can spend all the match sniping from forests
i guess camos were more useful
than in enlisted.
thoug white cammo on bulge is really good.

enlisted is too cqc if you want to win. :rofl:
and there are bots too so you will get detected
no matter what you are wearing.

maybe that is the reason of the lack of emphasis on camouflage

my english is so bad i have to use this kind of terms i use in my language. :sweat_smile:

well, camouflages can be beneficial in some maps, and not so much in others.

but for the most part, i think they serve to " make your army unique :tm: "

which i personally like.

i mean, i customized most of my " battle barbies " as often gets called in the forum.

and having more is always welcome.

but weā€™ll need a dedicated update alone just to the cosmetics to fix all the inconsistencies and include the missing items.

soā€¦ we can only hope. and wait.

i dont want to make my army ā€œuniqueā€
i want to remain hidden sniping cause im a natural camper. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

I do not recall the name anymore, but I recall that one or more of the expensive camo options. Sadly, the forum is gone so I cant check that up anymore.

if there is a cammo in Hng you want to see you have the link to a wiki on my first post
maybe is there

If I remember right they had a couple of the leaf pattern suits with amoeba overprints, they were produced from 1942 and were reversible, one side had the regular leaf pattern and the other featured brown overprints of the old amoeba pattern.

And the palma camo is from 1944, the ones with amoeba overprints were only made during WW2.

I bet if you played with The GFX filter, you could dull the vibrance a little (the game is a bit off in general). I dont think that camo is ā€œunbelievableā€, even if the colours are off abit

" a bit off " ?

i may be colorblind, but that ainā€™t even close :skull:

funny that you mentioned it too.

because that specific camo was given to HEER units, and at best, Luftwaffe ground units.

but not to paras.
