Why did they remove customization for Erwin Traut?

After new update, you can no longer customize Erwin Traut (premium guerilla, guy with an eyepatch). I really don’t know why are they doing this. Same thing with halloween soldiers - ever since they arrived, players were asking for option to customize their outfits, and instead of giving us that, they restrict it even further. I just genuinely can’t understand this mindset and why would they make such moves. There is not a single player who asked for this. I really hope that this is a bug and not a feature, but knowing the devs and their history with smart decisions…

Not only have they removed all options to customize Traut, they’ve also plainly stole items he had before - I replaced his fur hat with helmets on summer maps. Those helmets are gone without a trace.

Same thing happened to soviet hero Tikhon from ‘MP 40 captured’ guerrilla squad. Gave him same looks as his squadmates - all items he had are gone as well.

A fitting answer to all those forum customization suggestions from devs, I suppose.

I think they f-up something in this case, as you can still change Tikhon’s pants and gloves. Hopefully they fix this soon.
