greetings, i’ll cut right through the point.
( i made a long and curated suggestion before, but for some reason, the draft was lost in the ether of the forum and now i’m slighlty pissed. also, without wasting anyone else time, let’s briefly cover the issues: )
so, i’ll start by saying that, as a huge halftrack proponent and among the first advocate for these from such a long time, i can say i’m happy halftracks are finally here. matter of fact, i did preordered the new premium squad:
but, just like anyone pointed out:
uniforms ARE terrible.
you’d think that for 40 bucks you’d at least get a cool vehicle with either a camouflage, or some sort of unique uniforms.
yet in the APC cases, nothing.
somewhat frustrating if we think about the tunisian bikes which are somewhat similar yet those did come with unique uniforms:
even worse, in my opinion, this is the new premium squad after merge, and they don’t come with more than one cosmetic set for at least two enivorments to at least cover more than one front based on their br.
and as people know me, i’m the type that doesn’t complain unless has a solution.
so… here i am.
with a solution!.
speaking of:
welcome to my cosmetic submission of cosmetic for these particular new premium squads and possibly, future premium squads too.
today’s main suggestion will aim to provide authentic uniforms for these type of units ( or close enough ).
and the way i wanted to go about this, was to provide various historical units with both winter and summer presets.
more precisely, 3 styles.
complete of both stylistic choice close enough to the real life counter part, and complete of pouches, bags, backpacks etc
( in order to avoid looking like some recruits illequipped rushed to the front… )
even 95% clipping free! ( i couldn’t… avoid certain specific instances, but hopefully you won’t notice them too much )
on top of showing my submission ,i will leave down below a link to the mod to get a better view of these uniforms from upclose.
all you will need to do, is copy the link, hop in the game, select germany or ussr, open a custom, paste the link, and you will be free to view the various uniforms. ( sorry, but the halftracks won’t be usable )
and since it’s christmas, i’ll be leaving down below for free the uniforms and sets for modders if they want to use them in their mod etc.
without further empty chatter, let’s begin:
Style 1:
style 1 aims to provide 2 sets based on the promotional picture trying to be mostly faitful, but to provide higher quality:
therefore,
Feld Gray & Ameba Sets:
Feld grau Summer
Feld Grau Winter
Ameba Summer
Ameba Winter
Style 2
style 2 offers unique yet historical accurate uniforms from different periods.
for the sake of time and wanting to give planty of room for devs to implement them, i only came up with 2 sets for each side.
( i’ll start apologizing if soviet might not be 100% accurate. i tried my best but we are lacking majority of the real life uniforms )

Style 3
and lastly, 2 additional sets, but these sets are special. in the sense, they are made with mods. and aren’t available in the game ( can be though. ) in certain areas, ( mostly for the soviets ) are a bit rough around the edges. more precisely, the collar tabs. as i can only change the textures based on present exiting textures and not upload my owns unfortunately.
with that being said, these sets tries to be more asset friendly within in the game.
which, i must admit, the germans ones are by far better and look close enough to existing pieces.
but, you can expect either unique pieces, or pieces that aren’t available in the base game
( such as long hats with balaclavas, custom made collar/rank tabs, custom ammunition belts, different colors of uniforms etc )

so yeah, those are my finest ( well, not all of them ) additions that i would like to see for this APC premium squad, or to see in the future for other squads too.
as far it goes for the community, let me, and the devs know which one you like more to see as an addition. ping it, highlight let everyone know!.
but that is all for me.
if you want to take a closer look, you can copy and paste this link when you are in a custom [DOES NOT WORK. THE NEW UPDATE BROKE IT].

and here is a small legend to orient your self since… we can’t place 3d texts unfortunately.
anyway, here are the raw scenes with various already made presets for modders and developers.
includes some camouflages too. but due to not having many historical ones, you might find cold war / modern ones.
scene.blk.txt (369.1 KB)
entities.blk.txt (9.9 KB)
p.s. i wanted to include a small trailer made by my own editor.
but due to the strict time lines, i’ll have to compromise.
also, sorry for not showing more upclose but it was somewhat simpler to simply show or make a mod about it and let people see them better.
I forget it, anyway you should be proud no one get 132 like
