Customization of British squads, part 3

After the long-awaited update, the British and Italians finally got winter uniforms, and I thank the developers for that.

Honestly, I was waiting for a British winter uniform rather than a new front)

But there are little things that need to be changed, added, etc.

Hats:

  1. The HSAT parachute helmet

At the moment, regular troops in the Ardennes (except for assault sqads) wear the “HSAT” parachute helmet by default, which is a mistake.

Replace the “HSAT” parachutist helmet with the “MK II” Brody helmet by default.

And add the “HSAT” helmet itself to the customization for all companies.

  1. A peaked cap and a FS cap

There is a light-colored peaked cap in the game, but there is no shade of brown.

The same goes for the “FS cap”, but the light shade is already missing.

I suggest adding a brown peaked cap and a light shade cap.

  1. Helmet “MK III”

In the update, you added two shades of the MK III helmet, thanks for that.

But can you please add a mesh and with camo scrim?

  1. Black beret

I suggest adding a black beret to the customization of the tank crews.

It’s strange to give the crew the blue beret of the RAF pilots.

Torso:

  1. leather jerkin

In the Ardennes, you added a leather jerkin jacket


But the problem is that the jacket does not stand out and merges with the main uniform.
Make the jacket more contrasting
.
And also add a jacket to other companies and tank crews.

  1. Bush Jacket

The game features a sand-colored peacoat.

But in reality there were pea jacket in brown and light shades.


I suggest adding these shades.

Legs:

  1. Gaiters

Please make it the soldiers the default in Normandy are wearing trousers with gaiters by default.

In reality, British soldiers always wore gaiters on their trousers.

I even tried to find photos of soldiers without them, but I couldn’t find them.

  1. Sandy trousers

I suggest adding sandy-colored trousers with and without gaiters.

Head:

The British have 10 heads in customization.

But there are 12 more heads in the game that are missing from the customization.

Hands:

A squad of Australian saboteurs and tank crews in the Ardennes are wearing American gloves.

Change to brown gloves by default.

Addition:

Customization of Tank crews:

By default, tank crews in Normandy are dressed in sandy uniforms and in the Ardennes in sweaters, which is very strange.

Make that in Normandy and Ardennes wear “Pixie overalls” by default

Pilots’ Uniforms:

Add an “RAF” winter uniform

Better to add other options than replace existing, I like it this way

A winter Mk III would be nice, too. Just… Painted white, of course.


Very important!!! @Sunland_2005_KZ

Indeed, as far as I am aware, there are several colour variations of the Leather Jerkin available, as it wasn’t nessesarily a standardized piece of gear, I’m fairly sure that manufacture moved to artifical leather later in the war too.

Actually, what should be fixed is the current “black berets”, because they’re not black, they’re dark blue with a green band. This does not match any existing WW2 design that I am aware of.


Someone’s beat me to making a British cosmetics suggestion for new cosmetics, well done sir! Less work for me!

Thank you for your post.

I agree with all suggestions and hope to see them added.

I also am happy we are finally getting British (and Italian) winter uniforms.

I would add could we please get Australian tank uniform as free customisation? As far as I can tell the uniform of the ACI tank is unique to it, Id like to have Australian tankers to operate Stuarts and Mathildas for example.

Also Bernie Sanders is once again asking for standard green ‘British style’ Australian uniforms for 1st Agas squad in Europe to replace the made up blue ones.

Furthermore, 1st Agas uniforms should be made freely available for all squads, this will give us a British/Commonwealth uniform appropriate for the jungle as well as more variety for other campaigns and Australian specific uniforms for those that want them.

Finally, make the slouch hat/digger hat and lemon squeezer customisation options for all squads. For the millionith time I note that we previously got the peaked cap for free customisation that was introduced with the premium Sten Mk III squad so there is precedent for adding premium/event uniforms to tech tree customisation.

Merry Christmas everyone.
