This needs to be purchasable in every campaign. The magazine pouch should be replaced to black Kar98k stripper clip pouch because it is more universal for more theaters than the G43 magazine pouch.

This needs to be purchasable in every campaign. The inner uniform should be replaced with the tunic from the aforementioned uniform. The black Kar98k stripper clip pouch should be retained. Also attach a water canteen to the bread bag to make it identical to the first uniform.

DF should also release variants with G43 pouch, MP40 pouch, and StG 44 pouch across all maps (I know it’s historically inaccurate but it’ll give the player choice and 10000% better than seeing civilian suit in Tunisia).

I fully support this suggestion. Making this appearance available in every campaign would add more customization options and improve consistency across different theaters. Additionally, replacing the G43 magazine pouch with the black Kar98k stripper clip pouch makes sense, as it was more universally used across multiple fronts. This small change would enhance historical accuracy and make the loadout more adaptable for various campaigns.

Actually they ought to make additional variants with G43 magazine pouch, MP40 magazine pouch, and StG 44 magazine pouch (Yes, it is different from MP40 magazine pouch) but with identical trinkets.
Let’s call it the Wehrmacht basic issue
and yes, soldiers issued G43/41 also wore black kar98k stripper clip pouch so this should be the definitive bolt/semi uniform unless you are using non German equipment

yes, it should be purchasable in normandy and berlin as historically, this was given to engineers ( even though, mostly in north africa ).
but… no. those pouches should remain. as those are g43 pouches.
if anything just like we have been said from years, the cosmetics should be expanded by including all tunics with all sort of pouches.
but it’s likely not a priority for them.
yes, coats should be purchable as well. considering that through historical photos, coats were used by the german army in berlin and some rare instances in normandy.
but yes and no.
the tunic collar tabs should not be reworked. because those are volkssturm tabs.
again, ties into having generally more options would be beneficial.
which unironically are anachronistic in all the other theaters except battle of the bulge / berlin. where volkssturms units were a thing.
it is possible however, change said collar tabs to resemble more ss units:
but we both know the chances.
and not to sound condescending, but these are not reworks.
except perhaps the coat. edit, actually,
i do agree that the coat should not have volkssturm tabs outside berlin and battle of the bulge.
hence, rework the current one, and re-introduce volkssturm ones later as new pieces

As I said above, the collar should be more universal across all theater hence the Wehrmacht tunic.
Would love to see but DF is allergic to anything Nazi related.
Fully agree and I added a statement on my reply to also expand the selection to include G43 pouch, MP40 pouch, and StG 44 pouch as those three are the iconic and widely used weapon system within the Wehrmacht.
Would love to see SS or Volkssturm variants but primarily this suggestion advocating for generic and universal Wehrmacht variant for those who want to build “big army” loadout.
No problem, I do actually misworded my suggestion and should use edit instead of rework, thanks for the correction!
major problem though, is that people most likely might have bought said items already.
and i would like to avoid plane tree situation where it actually looked like a plane tree but now, it’s a pea dot camouflage.
( WHICH DEVELOPERS REFUSES TO FIX ACROSS 2 YEARS AND 7 BUG REPORTS WERE MADE ABOUT IT )
which it’s a spit in people’s face to those who originally bought the piece for what is what worth.
i also remember people complaning heavily on the reworked gerat squad.
which looked very different compared to now ( as it used to be a luftwaffe splitertarn, now it’s an army washed splintertarn ).
foundamentally, reworking cosmetics is very risky as people might have bought this with actual money.
the only solution is to add new components opposed as replacing them.
that is, based on past experiences.
It is also very doable. Ideally a total customization rework should be done already but if it’s not the priority at least the player can cope knowing they have reliable, realistic, and universal Wehrmacht cosmetics readily available.
Thank you for your post.
Id like to see all faction uniforms be ‘separate’ as in we can choose the tunic, trousers, webbing, suspenders, canteen, whatever (sorry for any incorrect terms).
I find with my British uniforms elements awkwardly overlap and hey maybe I don’t want this bag attached or suspenders or what not when I get a new appearance.
For myself I want my guys in just basic shirt and trousers, like they were in the desert and jungle. Naturally adding ammo/grenade pouches, binoculars and such will change this.
If we take the German uniforms here as an example, let that green bag and Sam Browne style belt be optional so we could have a basic tunic if desired.

I fully agree with customizable cosmetics but I don’t see DF doing that anytime soon. At least with this the Germans will have some sort of uniformity and continuity between the campaigns like the US and British forces that have one “basic” skin that is readily available in all theaters.
This also cause a grievance for me as I naturally want my soldiers to get all the trinkets possible, lol!
However their biggest sin is not releasing British MK2 paratrooper helmet and bloused Pattern 40 trousers for Normandy thus causing me unable to recreate the legendary British Airborne anti-tank team, matching my US Airborne anti-tank team.
And truly shame on them for only adding the paratrooper helmet in the only theater the British didn’t conduct their largest airborne operation during the war.
