Make the mk3 british helmet darker and give it covers, nets & skrim. ( Retexture + helmet_decorations )

so, long story short, here is another minor cosmetic suggestion.
obviously, not a priority. however,

Main Suggestion

for this suggestion, i’ll be primarily speaking regarding the following helmet in which it’s currently in the customization:

  • metal_mk3_helmet_01_uk_summer_item

and the first suggestion regarding this helmet;

1) remake/recolor the texture to be of a darker shade

from colored pictures, anyone can see that it’s typically painted darker than the current green.
and quite honestly, looks like it was painted by soviets.

when in reality, used to be darker:


more like an olive drab type of green than a khaki green.

in which, even in historical photos compared to the soviet, it’s not as " lighter "/“vivid” than theirs:

and, lastly for this suggestion:

Create helmet decorations ( helmet_deco ) for this helmet

long story short, helmet_deco as sort of implies, and for those who aren’t editor nerds like yours truly, are generally referred to helmet_decorations
and as previously covered, this helmet needs it’s iconic nets with skrim, unicolor covers & nets;



original-early-ww2-british-civil-defence-anti-gas-helmet-cover-1939-rare-1_86893_pic1_size3

but like, everyone who can google a picture of the steel mk3 can notice the many differences with the in game model.

considering we have already all items, we only would need to create or clone them, and remesh them to fit on the larger mk3 helmet.

  • brodie_helmet_grid_item
  • brodie_helmet_grid_camo_item
  • brodie_helmet_cover_item

    ( best part, can be colored too )

why ?

well, simple.

  • provide more historical customization
    while
  • not wasting the rather good model
    and above all,
  • increase it’s appearance in the game
    ( because quite honestly, no one is using it due to looking like a plastic replica caused by the poor texture quality )
    while
  • utilizing existing assets and provide unique & “new” customization options with relatively low effort involved

and that would be all.
thanks for listening. have a great day.

I hate the current Mk3 Helmet, it looks like it’s made of plastic, its shade of green stands out like a sore thumb and does not match any other British cosmetics, and it makes every soldier look like a obvious baldie (all other helmets in the game at least provide the illusion that the soldier could have hair underneath).

How about fully expand Britain as the proper….sub……faction it should be

has nothing to do with the suggestion at hand.

… and it can stay where it currently is.

My point was the devs should fully expand the British faction. That includes expanding their cosmetics
