Rework the german cover helmet model

greetings.
today i come with a mixed bag of a possible " serie " of suggestions related to current cosmetics and rework them in order to make them more accurate and having more fidelity based on the actual item.

in each thread, i’ll go over one or few items of the same shape and form.

i’m not too sure about the results. hence why i said " mixed bag ". but i’ll give it a shot.
i mean, it’s not like there is much else to do while we wait for fixes to the base customization.

Main suggestion

in todays suggestion, it would like to redirect attention for a rework on the following items:

attachable_wear_m35_helmet_w_cloth_cover_01_ger_summer_item

helmet_03_ger_summer_brow_camo_item

helmet_03_ger_summer_item

helmet_03_ger_summer_splittertarnung_camo_item

the main goal:

  • fidelity rappresentation of the item in question

  • modify to match existing camouflages and add missing ones

with that in mind, the current helmet lacks:

matching camouflages, missing camouflages, looks nothing what it’s supposed to be / look like, and above all, it’s an item that was meant to match the old zeltbahn tunic ( alpha item ):

which was later changed to:

and as you can see, it no longer matches.

but one step at a time.

1. change the model to the correct one and adjust the straps:

as you can see, it’s much more detailed, has the straps details ( opposed as being plastered as a texture and called it a day ) and above all, doesn’t look like an actual :balloon: ( balloon )

as shown in historical photos,

2. adjust textures and add missing variants for matching sets

in conclusion

it may seem " alot of work ".
but i’d argue as much the historical accuracy was sacrified for the logentivity of the game ( i mean, hasn’t never really been historical to begin with ) the visual fidelity should to the very least, remain and be improved upon.

but yeah, base idea is to introduce and rework the rather ugly model to a more standard one and provide matching sets for each individual piece. and eventually add them in the base customization.
to both provide a matching set ( since in enlisted you will never find a matching set outside rare occasions ) while expanding the various options. making the customization what was actually advertised since the introduction of stalingrad.

and that is all. thank you for listening.

I thought i was the only one struggling with looking at the Zeltbahn cover helmet with the blue lines… it not matching ruins the whole look
