Right now there’s inconsistency in how soldiers hold their weapons in the Hangar menu, even though they’re in the same type of weapons. Some hold with what I’ll classify into 4 different sets as Badass, Generic, Boring, and Weird poses. Here are some examples:
-
Badass poses
Notable characteristics: Intimidating postures, standing/sitting and pointing guns vertically, squatting and pointing guns up to the side, standing and vertically holding guns at the barrel/muzzle, carrying on the shoulder.
Examples: Pre-war Kar98k, Mkb42(H), Carcano M41, Baretta M1918, MG34, ZB-26, Sten, Lanchester, Newly added like recent BP weapons, T20, Type Hei Auto, Tokyo Arsenal SMG, Type 99 Rifle (early)/with AT Launcher, Type 100 MG, etc. -
Generic poses
Notable characteristics: Normally look, standing/squatting and holding guns at the chest, standing and pointing the guns down/behind/slightly up, one left hand holding the guns.
Examples: The majority of normal tech tree guns use this set like Kar98k, STG44, FG42, Baretta M38A, SMLE Mk III, M1 Garand, Type 38 Rifle, Type 97 Sniper, PPS42, etc. -
Boring poses
Notable Characteristics: Has one posture, only standing still and holding guns with the right hand, only standing/squatting and holding guns at the chest.
Examples:
Only standing still and holding guns with the right hand/squatting and holding guns at the chest - Rifles with AT Launcher, M2 Carbine, FG42 II, Carcano Mod.38, Type 99 Sniper, MP35, Baretta M38A (40 rounds), Lee-Enfield No.4, M1917 Enfield, M3A1 SMG, PPS42 (red) etc.
Only standing/squatting and holding guns at the chest - Type 100 SMG (early), M3 SMG. -
Weird poses
Soldiers using MG15, Conders MG, and Gewehr98 Wartime will squat in the position they aren’t supposed to.
A soldier at the 5th position, if they equip weapons that use a Badass poses set will distance themselves from the center point, making the overall picture look asymmetrically imbalanced.
A soldier will back to the center point if they equip weapons that use a Generic poses set.
From all of these examples, I want to point out that it’d be great if weapons of the same type share the same amount of available postures that soldiers holding their weapons depending on the gun’s size and position they are standing/squatting/sitting in the Hangar and players can select what weapon holding posture they want the soldier to pose via a button in the Hangar menu, creating an opportunity for players to customize their Hangar with to best-looking soldiers carrying their best weapons before going to the battlefield.
Other bugs I’ve found related to the Hangar and outfit customization. Please fix it whenever you can.

A soldier’s pose in the squad window is mismatched when individually inspecting them, which wasn’t the case in several patches ago.
Squad window
Individually inspect the soldier, the pose is not the same -
When entering the Practice Range, the squad will not wear outfits that currently show in the Hangar, instead, they show up with outfits equipped in the default campaign that came when purchasing them, which wasn’t the case in several patches ago.
In the Hangar, Battle of Stalingrad/Rzhev outfits
In the Practice Range, Battle of Berlin outfits (default)
Thank you for reading, I hope to see you guys’ feedback about this too.
