Pacific War More Factions and….Customization

I currently really enjoy the current factions U.S Vs, Japan. However there were many key factions involved in the pacific that I believe should be added. And before I mention which factions should be added, I’d like to note that there should be at least some free version of these factions that are not premium later along the higher levels.

To begin,

From 1942 until early 1944, Australian forces played a key role in the Pacific War , making up the majority of Allied strength throughout much of the fighting in the South West Pacific theatre.

In the early stages of the campaign, fighting was primarily between the Australian Imperial Forces and militia units, such as the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles, and veteran Japanese troops, including the South Seas Detachment Force, commanded by Major General Horii Tomitara. The Australians counter-attacked in September, 1942, driving the Japanese back across the Owen Stanley mountains. Known as “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels,” Papuan Islanders fought along side Australian and New Zealand forces in the treacherous, malaria-infested jungles. Papuans also transported wounded and killed Allied soldiers back to the hospital at Port Morseby. The “Aussies” sustained extremely high casualties in this relatively unknown campaign, but they also dealt the Japanese their first defeat on land.

The stem gun is already implemented, it should have the correct faction to use it.

Furthermore, for uniform customization, we should have the ability to remove helmets, add shorts, remove shirt or add open buttoned shirt. The jungle was a hot and unforgiving place and would add to the immersion. In addition, there should be added face paint camps for both sides. Examples below. Lastly, add a patches tab to customization, this would allow us to add the units patch and emblem to their unit form.

Lastly, the Japanese faction has an officer hat. Allow the U.S to have the ability to add an officers hat for the leader of the squad so this may also let players know who to aim for besides immersion purposes. This can be unlock-able based on player rank. Also add events were we can unlock special customization.

Yes, we need Australian forces in allies side.

Also, I want to see Japanese Navy function for axis side, too.
In spite of there are lots of naval weapons (Type I rifle, S1-100, MP18/20, Type 100 paratrooper SMG and Type 3 Ka-Chi), there’s no any Japanese navy units.

agreed.

i’m kinda greatefull that they introduced few new clothing along the BP,
but i’m a bit disappointed by the customization as you cannot really decide what you can have on your soldiers outside the preselected outfit.

which, i kinda like them, not gonna lie, ( although i think those uniforms should only be able to come by default on gold order soldiers, so it would give them something more unique and justify it’s price ) but the majority of them do not look approriated for being in the pacific. they all have long shirts and in the camos case, pants and helmets that do not match no matter what…

worst thing, majority of the base outfit are not available in the preselected outfits.
for example, the american tan and kaki jackets ( the one from tunisia with no pouches that comes by default ). those are cool, but there are literally no selections within the preselected outfit.
and… no shirtless options or at least, short sleeves for muricans.

on the other hand, i think they did an ok job with the japanese uniforms and helmets selection.
