So, do we have a list of squads that are in some way wrong, either in terms of cosmetics or nationality, perhaps even name and/or insignia?
Maybe we should start compiling one here, collectively?
I’ll start with the few I’m aware off:
34th Infantry Division/34th Signal Company - Allies - Premium Radio Squad - Turner SMLE
allies_tunisia_prem_radioman_1
What’s wrong with it: It’s a US squad, despite the fact that they’re wielding Canadian rifles. The rifle is converted from a British SMLE, it was specificly marketed for Canada, tested only by Canada, and fires British ammunition, the only thing American about the rifle is the inventor of the conversion, which is a mute point since almost every peice of British equipment is foreign sourced in some way.
3rd Special Service Brigade/No. 1 Commando - Allies - Premium Guerilla Squad - Thompson M1 (S)
squad_uk_partisan_premium_1
What’s wrong with it: The soldiers, depicting the No. 1 Commando, a British/UK formation of British Army Commandos (a group of Commandos that never fought in Norway), that all speak the King’s English and all have British English names (no hint of Norwegian), but for some reason they all are wearing the badge of the Free Norwegian Forces?
You are telling me, that a army formation of His Majestys’s Armed Forces, is wearing the literal royal cypher of another monarch?
Do I even need to explain how daft this is?
It needs to be removed. Asset/Model can be retained for future Norwegian squad, but it shouldn’t be anywhere near any unit of the British Army!
Ramcke Parachute Brigade/2nd Parachute Regiment - Axis - Premium Paratrooper Squad - Beretta M38
squad_ger_paratrooper_2_premium_2
What’s wrong with it: Similar to the Turner SMLE squad, the weapon was used, produced and designed by one country, but has for some reason been given to the parent nation of the faction. The weapon is Italian, it thus deserves a Italian paratrooper squad to go along with it.
2nd Infantry Division/4th Infantry Regiment - Japan - Premium Medic Squad - Type 100 paratrooper SMG
axis_pacific_prem_medic_1
What’s wrong with it: The paratrooper variant of the Type 100 SMG is exactly what you think it is, a version of the Type 100 SMG meant for paratroopers (the weapon is meant to break in half, just like the Type 100 Rifle). So why on Gods green earth is the squad that of medics? It really needs to be the weapon of a paratrooper squad.
Edited section - Squads submitted by forum members:
V Amphibious Corps/147th Infantry Regiment - Allies - Premium Medic Squad - M55 Reising
allies_pacific_prem_medic_1
What’s wrong with it: Similar to the Japanese medic squad mentioned above, this squad uses a weapon meant for paratroopers, but the squad itself is a medic squad.

Issues with both Japanese paratrooper squads
What’s wrong with them:
Thank you @SzepWaxweiler for this inclusion, go to his own post that goes into more detail about the specific problems about these paratroopers, which you can read here!
A long list made by @ErikaKalkbrenner
Thank you to @ErikaKalkbrenner for providing her list of “wrong” squads!
Any you guys think I’ve missed? Probably, as I’ve heard/seen that many of Germanys cosmetics around Luftwaffe units are totally wrong (embarasingly so, when it should be easy to change them to one of the correct set of cosmetics from other squads).
Please, lets all work together to compile a list of these for Helpers to look at, I’ll be updating the list as I see new submissions, and crediting the person that helps to add one of course.
And, would one of the dear forum helpers please clear up if all these have already been forwarded as issues that the developers are already aware of? It would ease our minds if this is at least being looked at, or going to be looked at… @Helper (in case the roll ping fails; @Euthymia07-live @JestersTM )
