Uniforms, Character Models, etc

Suggestions

So I’ve been really enjoying the game and think the sound design and gameplay is great fun. However, there is one glaring issue that really spoils the immersion for me and that’s the character models.

The uniforms in game are very inaccurate to a point where post-WW2 equipment and other details have come into it. For example, the US Infantry squads have ‘Vietnam style’ helmet bands with cigarettes and other items stuffed in there, something which I have never seen in the Second World War. There is also a glaring lack of webbing/ equipment on the men. They also seem to be wearing green pants of no real uniform. They ought to be wearing woollen uniforms in this case. There’s also the addition of everyone wearing the airborne gloves?

I don’t want to come here and be negative about the game because it’s very good, but this is something that drives me insane when playing and considering this is something we see the most of, I would love to see some changes.

I’m more than happy to provide photographs of equipment and uniforms from the period if the team are interested. I appreciate it might seem a bit trivial in the grand scheme of things, but I do think that it’s a shame to have such great looking maps, visuals and vehicles, but then to fall short on the character models.

Thought it made more sense to just include a few photos from something I put together.

There wont be any SS insignias or anything like that, if there will be SS camos, thats another thing, but i dont think soo as there wont be any SS units to have them.

Atm I have far less issues with the uniforms consider that the US faction uses faces from the Red Army, including mongolian ones.

thats cool. I admit, i havent seen them. I mostly see the Splinter pattern grenadiers

I know you can amend certain parts of them through the equipment, but the uniforms are still totally off. For example, the pants worn by the 1st ID rifle squad aren’t even a real thing, several guys also wear boots that don’t exist. It’s those things I wish could be changed.

The M1 helmets with Vietnam style bands and accessories is a massive gripe too. It just looks absurd!

Very sad this is the only “customization” we can get.

I have come back to this game after a very long break. I come to check out the Battle of Berlin and cannot believe how lacking the attention to detail is. It is a shame that a great game like this which brings out beautiful maps , guns, and vehicles falls so short on the character models / uniforms. I plan to make a post about it to examine the volksturm as some of them are dressed like clowns.
