What am i suggesting:
I’d like to propose a small cosmetic adjustment for the German WW2 peaked caps. In many historical references, these caps were often worn with a noticeably lower, more forward-tilted angle. This subtle change gives the silhouette a sharper, more aggressive look.
Right now, the in-game cap sits relatively level and upright. As shown in the attached image comparison, lowering the front of the visor slightly would better match how the cap was frequently worn and would enhance both authenticity and visual attitude.
Why this matters:
- Historical accuracy: Period photos often show the cap brim pulled downwards, creating a distinctive profile. It is important to make a difference, because on portraits, it’s often showed raised to show the face better, when in field it’s lowered to provide actual protection against sun and more reliable placement.
- Stronger character silhouette: The lowered angle adds intensity and personality to the model, especially in side-view animations.
- Minimal art change, high visual impact: The adjustment is small but significantly improves the overall feel.
The attached image includes examples from period photos and a before/after mock-up demonstrating how the altered angle changes the impression.
