Germany's Infantry Uniform Issues (Developer Inconsistencies)

[Wikerov]

I had been waiting for this major update only to find out that cosmetics are literally left out with the most horrible designs. This is literally a Second World War game labelled as a “realistic World War II shooter” with the most inaccurate uniforms you could find, lacking authenticity, when it all could be fixed under an hour (yes, literally only an hour is needed). This is basically just greed when something you could’ve fixed under an hour to make the community happy has to go for two years with constant fixes.

Look at this, literally the new textures are left without proper weathering on the textures. This is the reason why our new uniforms look disgustingly bright and reflective, keep in mind that herringbone twill is considered a durable, strong, and hard-wearing fabric.

• Yes, please give them appropriate weathering textures.
• No, I have a different thought about this.
• I do not wish to vote on this section.

Wow, I gathered sources and made polls, but the next thing I see is this. Is it really too much to ask for a five-minute change, or am I supposed to wait another year of suggesting that won’t even help?

• Yes, please give them historically accurate patches.
• No, I have a different thought about this.
• I do not wish to vote on this section.

Thanks @Ender_Fox, you’ve made me realize something. Great job developers, you’ve finally added something German mains always wanted, rolled up sleeves! How wonderful. Oh wait, it’s actually locked behind premium squads. And really, a mass-produced headgear can only have one color in this game? Terrific.

• Yes, I would like to see them in the customization pool.
• No, my thoughts on these are different.
• I wish to not vote on this section.

I just remembered something. Thanks @BaronBrahman-live, for reminding me how utterly stupid it is that they can’t even give proper winter trousers other than for sniper squads. And @かぼす, didn’t they promise us to give DAK’s pith helmets, and not Italians (seriously, it’s as simple as that).

• Yes, I would like to see them in the customization pool.
• No, my thoughts on these are different.
• I wish to not vote on this section.

Thanks @Chris_Vector, for literally suggesting why we should have another color variant for the regular army tunic, and even though there were different manufacturers producing German uniforms with their own dye, the standard color for them were still field grey, and the ones we have are literally very inaccurate compared to the ones used throughout the war. And why can’t we have more patterns like the plane tree camouflage for our ponchos, like there were literally many of them mass-produced till the end of the war with different patterns, the developers also already have the textures for it. So please add them.

• Yes, I would like to see them in the customization pool.
• No, my thoughts on these are different.
• I wish to not vote on this section.

Alright, please stand back and give me the green version of the trouser with jackboots, just like the grey one we have, come on it’s literally just gonna be a copy-paste that doesn’t take a couple of minutes.

• Yes, I would like to see them in the customization pool.
• No, my thoughts on these are different.
• I wish to not vote on this section.

And finally, thanks @ErikaKalkbrenner, for literally almost everything and every part of the list on what I’m trying to suggest about missing cosmetic pieces for Germany since the start. Like, literally, why is there no trouser for this variant of the pea dot, when we literally have the tunic and headgear in the customization pool. And why, till now, do we still not have our matching blue trousers for the tech tree airborne squads. The developers should also read about Erika’s accurate documents on fixes for it (Google Docs).

• Yes, I would like to see them in the customization pool.
• No, my thoughts on these are different.
• I wish to not vote on this section.

It should be noted that many players had suggested for things like these and even go so far as to create codes for these types of fixes, which the developers clearly ignored. When other factions already have their uniforms almost accurate, Germany hasn’t even gotten its appropriate colors for their uniforms. I hope this suggestion is actually forwarded to the developers, so this major update could finally benefit the community with better cosmetics after two years. And these changes we wanted could also be fixed in a day. Many thanks.

though luck:

we used to have these type of collar tabs ( even though were volkssturm more than ss ones: )

part of the now edited volkssturm uniform:

but were recently changed:

you see… committing literally war crimes is okay. but representing historical units who did said crimes, it’s a no no.

which… it’s funny. because those were not even SS tabs.
as these, are actual waffens collar tabs. as you can see, the enlisted one has a outer border in silver.

while the actual volkssturm one had none and were generally " cruder ":

even the one made in enlisted was and still is, of volkssturm origins.

but what do we know.

Additional edit:

even i could fix the tunics with correct shoulder tabs

and even provided the developers with templates that do work in the base game:

a while back, it was also possible to color the heer tabs of one color. which it’s how i originally made my actual historical accurate waffen tunic with the rank collar tabs and shoulder tabs in black. gotta see if i have a picture of that so it doesn’t seem i am making it out of my own .

but due to the mod getting some traction, they most likely removed the ability to color the internal rank for said reasons.
though, could be a conspiracy of my own, and genually have been clumsy while somehow touching the color of the parameter making it so that it cannot be edited.

and for any trigger happy mods. no. i am not here wanting to create dissent or disrupt the community. nor start flames.

but i complain out of genual care… and kinda being upset a little.
cause if a weird lunatic like me can do so in her own basement, so should officials.
( Edit. i’d wish to have a basement. stuff like that is expensive… )

I don’t really understand when they literally have maybe around a couple of the most gruesome SS units in-game.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i indeed retraced back one of my screenshot, but… one of the first ones:

and for those who’s asking, i made these so you can shoot them

@Wikerov

I don’t really understand when they literally have maybe around a couple of the most gruesome SS units in-game.

indeed.

we do have in fact several SS units ( or… amalgamation of what are supposed to be ss units ).

but. regardless. imagine having a harmonization option, and still censor the game even further.
but i digress.

one can hope with custom textures we’ll be able to make the game even more historical accurate.

and not only for germany.

the soviets, and allied suffers equally too. with no rank insignias, divisional patches and what not.

@Wikerov

something German mains always wanted, rolled up sleeves!

This is something else that the US really lacks.

[Wikerov]

God that is literally beautiful. When I play as Americans, it is very engaging and satisfying to fight German mains using SS or Paratrooper uniforms, it feels like I’m fighting a force full of elites.

[开M59A1的蓝军旅长满广志]

The developers are absolutely inexcusably lazy; despite having so many costume options at their disposal, they simply refuse to implement them in the game—going so far as to use the excuse of “political censorship” to evade providing players with the historically accurate World War II uniforms they are rightfully owed.

I thought the DAK’s Pith helmet, which I’d been waiting for, had finally been added, but it turned out to be the Italian Army’s Pith helmet.

Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment, this is the DAK’s Pith helmet!
