Giving guns their correct ammo/mag pouches. (Big Customization/Appearance suggestion)

Currently, when equipping, for example, a MP-40 to an assault, the character doesn’t receive a Mp-38/40 ammo pouch. And weirder, when you give someone a larger ammo pouche, for germany it’s the Gewehr 43, it shows up instead od being something else that soldier uses.
So, I suggest that when we equip our soliders with a gun, they get the corresponding ammo pouch to match.

Why?

The reason why I think this should happen is for more historical authenticity and accuracy, cause like I said earlier, I think it’s weird why someone with a MG34 has Gewehr 43 ammo pouchs instead of those 50 round drum mags. Like shown in this photo.

What about the ammo pouches on uniforms?

Those ammo pouchs would also change with your gun, for example, if you bought an German Greatcoat with kar98k ammo pouch, it would changes to, for example, an Stg-44 mag pouch if you use a gun that take the Stg-44 mag. And thise with a side arm would only change the ammo pouch off to the side. Machine guns that uses belts would have their ammo belt on the soldier’s shoulder, shown in this drawing

Or around their neck like this historical photo

What about event/Battlepass guns?

Guns like the MP-41(r) and Viper mk 3 would use the Mp-38/40 mag pouches, similar to the Japanese thompsons which would use a 30 round mag pouch for the 1928A1 and 20 round for the 1921 (20), while guns with belts would uses ammo belts to match their caliber, and bolt actions like the Gewehr 98 war time mod would use the. As show in this photo.

What if I have 2 guns instead of one?

If you ha e two guns that use different ammo pouchs, then it’ll only show your primary gun but you’ll still have ammo for your second one.

What about the ammo pouches?

They will still function the same as before, but will instead add more ammo pouchs. Small gives your guy one more, while the large gives you 2 more.

Conclusion

With what I said and stated, I hope you all support my idea.

  • Yes, this should be implemented
  • No, this shouldn’t be implemented
  • I don’t care
  • Yes but with some changes

from what i understand, the plan is to lock that behind cosmetics.

as such,

kits are made in order to have the pouches based on players decisions:

the problems with items that ( sometimes even ) replaces active customization pieces.

which it’s not what was originally wanted.

as such, we’ll have to wait for more cosmetic presets while they’ll eventually fix these items.

which kinda only affects germany more than others nations.

… and there’s a financial involvement behind it.
not to play devils advocate.

Well the ammo/mag pouches changes with what gun your using to match it’s mag.

i have asked for such a similar system years by now.

nothing.

so our only option is to play at their game to have a middle way that works for us.
and… also them.

which we just recently found out how those presets are made.

so we are working on making every possible combination and introduce it so it’s easier to be implemented.

well, i’m currently making all sort of combinations based on all uniforms on the game.

it’s technically simple, because these presets can be applied on most items of the same type.

( that will be up to devs when )

but yes.

i am also cooking more custom stuff:


( not just for germany. But i am currently working on germany. while chris is working on the US )

with that being said, i will forward all type of presets possible to cover all soldiers type.

… as long pouches allows it
because not all pouches are for all tunics.

but i’m looking for workarounds.
if i can’t find them, i’ll have to make suggestions about them.
