now, i know i could buy it an check it for my self, but i had a few " issues " as i’m planning on a big purchase of drips. ( and i can’t technically buy 20 of these tunics. )
but… with the volkssturm tunic i’m not sure if it will disappear after the merge ( because theorically, volksstums will disappear ) and / or if i will be able to buy them again.
so. my question is,
has anyone bought this and can confirm that it can be applied to other squads as well?
after the merge, i will only have this squad for the volkss. as the concept of squads will disappear ( ish ) when the merge will drop. in the sense, we get to keep our squads, but i don’t know the " default " squad what will be.
so, i’m thinking to buy volkss uniform to eventually fit it for other squads.
but i have no clue if the cosmetics will remain… if i will be able to apply those to other squads, or even if able to buy them in the future.
because i also have other factions to currently buy cosmetics. both winter uniforms and summer ones.
yeah… no squad beside the rifleman get access to it.
but… idk. i was hoping for a mod to precisely hint or tell if it’s going to be a thing or nah.
Wait you cant see uniform in general if a squad cant equip it? (Or im wrong) and if im right after the merge if volks uniform are not more used on any squad they become hidden
I don’t know about that specific uniform. I just passed the questions of Erika.
I really don’t know and try to bring some light in this interesting topic.
This is kinda funny because the Volksturm unis were often whatever they had in a warehouse, or even what the soldier wore from home. The armband was the only real uniform.
Would be kinda cool to allow some really wild and variable unis for Volksturm toons, with the armband being the only real indication that they are Volksturm.
Classically, the best clothing are for premium stuff. Same goes for volkssturm guys.
It wouldn’t be a problem if you could reuse it on other squads once you bought the certain premium squad.
But currently it’s just annoying and not very user friendly.
i was exploring the possibilities of new clothings with an armband through the editor, and so far i found out that i can change colors of stuff.
which it’s promising. but… it’s gonna be who put the leg for all the work to implement it in the game
but yeah, would be great if we could use prem uniforms on non prem units.
( even though it would still present the issue of the pouches… the system needs to be revamped )
And yet from the wiki source that You posted, I see this: " The Volkssturm “uniform” was only a black armband with the German words Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht (“German People’s Storm Armed Forces”)."
So…
They should be having civilian clothes.
Not uniforms, aside from armbands.
“The German government tried to issue as many of its members as possible with military uniforms of all sorts, ranging from Feldgrau to camouflage types. A telling example of the Volkssturm’s piecemeal outfitting occurred in the Rhineland, where one unit was provided with “pre-war black SS uniforms, brown Organization Todt coats, blue Air Force auxiliary caps, and French steel helmets.”[28] Most members of the Volkssturm, especially elderly members, had no uniform and were not supplied, so they generally wore either work uniforms (including railway workers, policemen and firemen), Hitler Youth uniforms, old uniforms or their parts from the time of the First World War or their civilian clothing and usually carried with them their own personal rucksacks, blankets, cooking-equipment, etc.[29]”
Considering the variety and… what a uniform is supposed to do - that is, to make sure that all units are uniform - I don’t think they really had a uniform per say, more like a requirement to look somewhat decently.
But yes, it would indeed be nice to have more clothing options in game.
