Solider Customization Suggestions and new idea

In the Normandy campaign (Axis side)

Using my images as examples: You do not have any helmets that match the color pattern of the jackets and pants.

I am asking for you guys (the development team) to take THESE HELMETS that are pictured, and to convert their color pattern and make it identical to the jacket and pants.

You do not have a jacket or pants that matches THESE HELMETS
And you do not have a helmet that matches THESE Jackets or Pants

Also… apparently, we cannot change the helmet type for our AT soldiers (who are stuck with the default helmet, even though you try and purchase/equip a different one)



Another suggestion for soldier customization (which may increase your total sales/revenue):

  • I recommend allowing the players to purchase “clothing and accessories” in the same manner as we do the gear we equip each soldier with

For example:
-You can buy a jacket, a helmet, pants, (and maybe gloves)… all of which will go into a clothing inventory
-From this inventory, you can stockpile as many articles of clothing as you wish to buy.
-And you can equip/un-equip your soldiers as you please…
-The current issue is if you pay money to customize a squad’s appearance (and later, when you no longer wish to use this particular squad)… the players are essentially getting the short-end-of-the-stick… because they cannot unequip the clothing that they purchased for this squad… and use these clothes to customize a different squad (higher tier soldiers of the same class)
-Of course, the clothing types can remain locked for each soldier CLASS (for instance, you cannot equip a machine gun squad with pilot uniforms)

The benefit of this (in the context of making money)…

Players who want to customize a low level squad (tier 1), but WILL NOT DO SO, because once they unlock tier 3… they have ZERO need to waste money on a squad they will never use again.

But if we can unequip the clothing (where each soldier returns to their default appearance), and have the ability to apply these purchases to LATER squads… perhaps you will give people the incentive of spending money on clothing.

LAST: This needs to be fixed, if you (the development) ever wants your customers to take you guys seriously. You’re not going to make nearly as much money as you would, if you had a properly functioning game. (not trying to be insulting, but simply giving constructive criticism of key issues I have observed)

The customization system being way too expensive has been an issue for quite some time now, as is shown in this thread:

For me personally, I used to think that if you buy an item, EG: a coat, you should only buy it once per squad. But I like your idea too, where you can buy it per class, which I think is the better option as like you mentioned, you might buy some outfits for a squad, and later on decide not to use it. For me, I like using the MP-18 squad as it’s the only premium squad besides the Kiraley 43M squad that I have for Normandy Axis. However, I eventually plan on buying the Italian SMG squad for Normandy (I forget the name of the weapon atm), and when I do, I’m going to stop using the MP-18 squad. So being able to transfer outfits from a squad of one class to another would be most welcome.

Hopefully in time the Devs will come to their senses and realize how ridiculous the prices are for customization items.

Most stuff we want and need for cosmetic already exists as Fräulein Kalkbrenner and other modders/ data miners pointed out.
Why they didnt make them available is beyond our imagination.

Actually that’s not an “AT troop” thing but an Ofenrohr thing, and it’s not the default helmet but the same grey stahlhelm with the chickenwire type wrap on it, even if you give it to the Italians or the event Recon squad.

We need patches for uniform divisions, as well as ranks on helmets and clothing. We need cheaper customization or more ways to earn custom order tokens. Also expand the Customization options, shoulders, helmet markings, gloves, bags, backpack, camouflage, foliage etc. Also, we need the ability to wear no helmet!!

I have been pissed at the poor representation of german paratroopers in the game. Despite them having the correct helmets and uniforms in premium squads this option is not available in the soldier customization…

In Normandy and Berlin there are several fallshrimjager squads with laughably incorrect gear. Wtf devs I’ve been saying this forever now.

To this end, there no end to the uniform customization options we are missing out on. Axis had some of the most diverse uniforms in the war and we are stuck with little more then chin strap options and basic covers

There were a lot of users, like you who came up with a great idea.

And THEY received a lot of support from many users.

As a result, the developers ignored it.

developers didn’t reflect a single thing. because they’re SO L A Z Y

Look how lazy they are.

Extended updates now release only one item.

In the past, they added three.

Even that one is from another damn campaign.
It’s not new.

RD44 doesn’t exist in any other campaign, but you know, rd44 existed Alpha.

developers don’t think about making new items.
because they’re so lazy, they just think about how to COPY + PASTed all day long.

They’re not interested in the game they make.

at least they should have brought the outfits that were at STALINGRAD. But he didn’t.

Look at the German camouflage.
The camouflage of the helmet doesn’t match the outfit. I feel something psychotic.

You can see how sloppy they are.

You would think for all the amount of time they have spent creating premium content and the artwork that they use to advertise and promote these premium squads/vehicles… How much time has been allocated to introducing new maps towards the existing campaigns…???

I have seen a lot of people who have posted long lists of key battles that could be implemented in the campaigns that we currently have…

In the year that I have been playing… only a few maps have been added to existing campaigns, while in comparison to the total premium content/new campaigns (Stalingrad and Pacific)

Of the 2,700 matches I have played, Over 1,200 have them have been played in Normandy (axis and allied)…
It would be nice to see Omaha beach, Gold beach, Juno, Sword, Utah beach invasion added… (rather than a non-historically accurate beach-landing that is titled “D-Day”).

If it’s so hard for the developers to create historically accurate maps and key battles… perhaps allow the community to design maps and then implement them once they are tested and approved?

People who have PC’s capable of running the map editor… and want to show off their skills to the gaming community (this would be a wonderful opportunity for them).

Could do this for ANY campaign, and i guarantee the player-base would skyrocket if we got A LOT of new maps implemented.

It’s been made clear that this game is NOT based off historical accuracy… so it shouldn’t be a problem introducing new maps/battles into campaigns that are not necessarily specific to one region. Normandy maps can include battles that took place around the area (rather than one specific time frame and location).

We are missing:
-Iwo Jima
-Wake Island
-Guadalcanal
-Midway
-Solomon Islands
-Okinawa
-Battle of the Bulge
-Market Garden
-Kursk
-El Alamein
-Dunkirk
-Anzio
-Coral Sea
-Bataan
-Battle of Narva
-Siege of Leningrad
-Battle of Crete
-Monte Cassino
-Battle of Britain
-Battle of Sedan
-Battle of Brody
-Battle of Luzon
-Kharkov
-Phillipines

Etc…

What confuses me is why exactly they are, as you put it, being lazy. Here’s why I feel this way:

You see, coming from a long time player of War Thunder, I’ve seen so much nonsense the WT Developers allowed to take place, either by accident, ignorance, or complacency, however you want to look at it. However, War Thunder is a unique game with virtually no competition, so while they can afford to be overly complacent, it still does not make it right.

Enlisted on the other hand, has a ton of rival FPS games to choose from, more than I can even count. In short, rather than ignore the community in things large small and in between, they should care about the game and be extra careful not to make the player base too angry. The reason is very simple: If they don’t take care of the game and keep it’s playerbase happy, Enlisted will get overrun by it’s competitors which of course, many of us would not want to happen. But then again, I would not be surprised if something will happen sooner or later.

That’s my 2 cents on the matter.
