I thought we do not need to buy all 5 campains' appearance for our soilders

[HalfPast]

After all campain incorporated, I tried to select different campain of apperance. If I remeber it correctly, once you choose the campain of appearance for you team, your team will always dress the same in any campain map. But right now, you need to spend hundreds of green card on preparing all campains’ apperance for your team. It because soilder change their clothes in different campain map.

Did I remeber it wrong or they secretly changed it?

I think it has been after change that yes, every campaign has its own appearance. Real annoying and expensive to buy an appearance for every single soldier for every single campaign.

I dont buy cosmetics anymore because whatever I buy with appearance orders usually gets reverted because of some bug.

Well, actually you don’t need to buy 6 different outfits for 6 campaings

This is my experience with BR5 germans which can get into 4 different campaigns (Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Stalingrad, Berlin)

@Adamnpee

And yesterday, when I was playing battle of the bulge, I’ve noticed I had the outfits I bought for Stalingrad on my soldiers.
Same while playing Berlin, I’ve had the same camos I’ve bought for Normandy.
Even though in hangar, I still could see only the classic outfits for battle of the bulge/berlin.

I really do not know if that’s a bug or some kind of unfinished feature. But I am happy, since for BR5, I’ve had to buy only 2 camo presets to cover all maps.

@Adamnpee

And it’s even more complex than that. For Berlin sniper in my assaultwr squad I bought one specific torse because I didn’t want him to be Volksturm like the rest of the squad.
And after I bought the full camo of the whole squad in Normandy preset. When I have played berlin, this specific sniper had the torso I’ve bought him for Berlin but the rest of his outfit was the one I bought for Normandy.

So the way it works now is. That if you buy an outfit. Then it takes priority over the base outfit of that squad in whatever campaign the outfit you bought is in.
But if you pick a different outfit in the other campaign, that piece takes priority in that specific campaign.
But this priority is not visible in Hangar, only in matches.

At least that’s my experience from yesterday. And I can prove it with screenshots once I get back to home.

Here's proof

bought camo for normandy

default unchanged camo for berlin in hangar

actual camo in berlin match

Ya its fucked, I love playing barbie with soldiers but after the merge the system is so far and away expensive and retarded that I don’t bother to engage with it at all anymore. The only way I see myself using it is if they make it so when you buy an appearance it has infinite uses in that campaign, ie you buy a jacket for moscow you can use that appearance on anyone, any amount of times. And obviously increase the cost of buying items to reflect that.

Japanese Players:
I see this as a complete win.
China/Korea when?

[Reines1]

How are you even going to outfit for a campaign when you don’t even know what map you are going to? Those heavy overcoats look funny in the tropics and shorts in Moscow winter…

[HalfPast]

Only one campain for Japanese, no need to prepare a lot of apperances, true winner.
