I decided to, in support of the NIEM (National Italian Enlisted Movement) create a BR II Axis lineup full of - you guessed it, Italians. I am greatful now that I can change the nationality of my soldiers, I really am. Now I won’t have mixed squads, with Germans in an Italian squad and vice versa. However, there is still one problem.
Whenever you change someone’s nationality, their clothing doesn’t change. This is a really big issue, since many of us don’t have legacy squads, therefore we can’t really recreate say an Italian assault squad. But never fear, I have a solution. And although I know almost nothing about coding a game, I’m positive it’s only changing a couple lines of code for this to happen.
Instead of clothing being squad based (many premiums squads have unique clothing that other squads can’t get), clothing should instead be faction based. Now, you don’t have to release premium cosmetics for free, but squads should have access to the entire range of clothing for that faction. That means, even if it’s a German squad, I should be able to equip Italian outfits.
I shouldn’t have to state this, but before Gaijin monetises cosmetics, FREE cosmetics should STAY FREE, and premium squad only cosmetics is up to their discretion. I’m not a history buff or anything, but I’m sure others such as @OggeKing and people he may know may be able to help in adding historically accurate outfits for all factions. And yes, before someone points it out, my assaulters are in fact engineers, but the point still remains (both are on the Tunisia preset too).
And remember, Viva I’Italia!
