How cosmetics should look like

So, the soldier customization was expanded to all campaigns besides Tunisia, but it seems like not a single problem regarding said customization was addressed. So besides the obvious uniform overlapping, which is a bug, I have two suggestions.

1. Naming the items

It would be nice to see what you’re buying, especially that some camouflages are quite similar to each other.
Here’s how it looks like now:
Zrzut ekranu (1514)

And here’s how it could look like:
Zrzut ekranu (1515)

Btw, why do we have the G43 pouches in a Stalingrad campaign, when the G43 didn’t exist yet? Also, I’m quite sure that the Erbsenmuster was never “printed” on the M41 field tunic.

2. Proper cosmetics for different campaigns

There are significant problems with some camo choices being anachronistic, so I would simply like every campaign to have only the cosmetics that were available during that time. My example is going to be just German camouflages and uniforms.

2.1. Uniforms

This one is kinda optional, as the differences are not that noticeable, but it would be nice to have proper uniform models for different campaigns. Keeping in with the theme of Feldbluse (field tunic), currently it seems that we have two types in the game currently:

  • Feldbluse M41 - it’s the longer one, all of the dotted camo patterns are on it:
  • Feldbluse M44 - it’s the shorter one with simpler pockets, available in two colors in Normandy and Berlin:

    And while up to the M44 model, the Feldbluse models don’t differ much from one another (and the same goes for other uniform pieces - not much variety when it comes to different year models), we still could have way more variety than we do.

2.2. Camouflage patterns

What I suggest here is implementing chronologically matching camo patterns to the campaigns. So it would be like this:

  • Battle of Moscow
    • Splittertarnmuster 31
    • Splittertarnmuster 41 (Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster)
    • Platanenmuster
    • Rauchtarnmuster
    • Palmenmuster
    • Eichenlaubmuster
  • Invasion of Normandy
    • Splittertarnmuster 31
    • Splittertarnmuster 41 (Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster)
    • Platanenmuster
    • Rauchtarnmuster
    • Palmenmuster
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Sumpftarnmuster 43
    • Sumpftarnmuster 44
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Erbsenmuster
  • Battle of Berlin
    • Splittertarnmuster 31
    • Splittertarnmuster 41 (Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster)
    • Platanenmuster
    • Rauchtarnmuster
    • Palmenmuster
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Sumpftarnmuster 43
    • Sumpftarnmuster 44
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Erbsenmuster
    • Leibermuster
  • Battle of Tunisia
    • M1929 Telo Mimetico
    • Splittertarnmuster 31
    • Splittertarnmuster 41 (Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster)
    • Platanenmuster
    • Rauchtarnmuster
    • Palmenmuster
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Sumpftarnmuster 43
    • Eichenlaubmuster
  • Battle of Stalingrad
    • Splittertarnmuster 31
    • Splittertarnmuster 41 (Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster)
    • Platanenmuster
    • Rauchtarnmuster
    • Palmenmuster
    • Eichenlaubmuster
    • Sumpftarnmuster 43
    • Eichenlaubmuster

And here’s a pretty good source on how the camouflages look like (yes, it appears that some of the in-game patterns are made up):

You are doing just too much sense for the game. The reason why they probably don’t add names to the uniforms is probably because they don’t know.
The reason why they don’t put accurate uniforms per campaign is probably because they don’t care (and maybe lack of human resources to do so)

Thanks, I suppose:)
I mean, even Heroes and Generals got the camouflages better than Enlisted. And that means something. Something bad.

That’s going to be good.
Also, it would be nice to be able to dress snipers in Stalingrad and Moscow in ordinary winter uniform and not just into variations of winter camouflage suit top (bottom can be replaced tho).

it would be a great addition to cosmetics, i just hope they catch time to do this, but i think they will, i don’t think the got much else to fix within this game, i played it again after few months, and i must say its not AS bad as before.

but id say for now they should make sure that the existing camo patterns in the game should be available to all types of uniform parts, most notably including the helmet and jacket top, they lack matching camo patterns the most

Yes matching uniforms should be the priority over what I wrote above.
Although I’d say that “camouflages” like this oversaturated, argrily green Splittertarn:


should be deleted, not completed with a helmet.

Many of the camos are already in game, either in the form of premium squads or hidden, for source: All Germany Clothings IDs name. A few are incorrectly made but I wouldn’t say that any of the camos are made-up, the only one that seems a bit sus is the attachable_wear_tunic_01_ger_splinter_item (the one from the picture above) but by the name it’s clear that it was just very poorly made.

But that’s beside the point, I’ve been advocating for a total overhaul of camos for a long time and it should be made sooner than later, especially when it comes to the use of anachronistic uniforms like the ones in Moscow and Stalingrad.

Also, I’ve just realized that the system could be simplified. Instead of this:

It could be just one Feldbluse, and the ammo pouches should adapt to the weapon a soldier uses.

I think that’s the one that I shown above, probably the most off-looking camo in the game:)

Btw, did Splittermuster (army version - the year 1931 pattern) really exist in 3 color variations?
Also, what’s the deal with this:


First of all, as far as I know Splittermuster never came with pants, just the Zeltbahn shelter-half/poncho and second, the only place I ever saw this color pallet is Heroes and Generals (out of all places), described as “Mountain Splinter”.

well there’s always time for improvement, prior to introducing cosmetics everywhere they improved the existing suits, they made them more realistic. so i guess that’ll be on the chopping block some time in the future

This is a great post, but like @EdVanSchleck said, its much too well done for Enlisted. They somehow made a free to play game that released in 2021 and didnt prioritize cosmetics for monetization. It wasnt until people specifically asked for it that they added it to the new campaigns, and then went back to the older campaigns and copy-pasted all the new uniforms. Tunisia doesnt even have customization because they literally dont have uniforms for it.

One of the great things about this game is that it’s one of the most immersive WW2 shooters, in this case the uniforms and cosmetics. Just take a look at Battlefield V’s original cosmetics….Ooof.

I’m sure in the future we’ll get more customization items as well as further developments and overhauls

in all honestly.

i think that having camo where those shouldn’t be can still be justified if taken on custom games.

i’m fine with that.

but with what i’m not fine, is the pure lack of customization that is not present ( despite being in the editor ).

not enough pouches for all kind, not enough camos for all campaigns, and above all,
no matching camos when it comes to torso, pants and helmets for some campaigns ( either are different, or completely missing ).

i find it funny that we do not have customization for tunisia either despite having uniforms and stuff in the editor.

truly a joke.

because the g41 pouches and the g43 are the same.

it just change the color.

You just start a game in Berlin with your historically accurate uniform that cost you 400 tickets and suddently all your squad got kill with a 88mm HE shell from this dude:

And there is nothing you can do about it.

What do you mean by that? Having camouflages that weren’t used already (like Platanenmuster in Berlin) or the other way around (like Erbsenmuster in Stalingrad)?

What I personally have the biggest problem is made up camo patterns, like that over-saturated green Splittermuster or the desert dotted camo that’s on the premium rider squad in Tunisia.

Are you sure? The G41 had an internal magazine and was fed from Mauser stripper clips.

i mean in general.

all camo should be available unless really special for premium like the stg45.

because you can still take them on custom games. hence, that’s why should be available.

at least, imo.

i mean. sure, those aren’t technically historical accurate, but historical accuracy is beating a dead horse in this game so…

you don’t have to trust me. you can look them up.

I only buyed new uniform (only the uniform) to 3 squad in 3 different campaign because they have a uniform identical of another squad i was already using

From 230 ticket i drop to 170 ticket, it cost too much

I mainly just change the helmet on some squads.
For exemple this one use to be the NKVD squad:

Well, there are people (like me) who don’t play custom games at all, so it would still be a problem in regular games.

Yup, internal magazine, Mauser clips.

yet, most of the tanks can have the winter or sand camo despite the campaign having no maps with that.

i don’t see you complaining about.

therefore, i don’t see any problem if the same happens with camos.

would be even better. more incomes for the title.

they also used the same ones as we have, but black.
