Infantry Costumization improvements

I’m not Erika so I’m not going post image of any sorts just a little text on how I think costumization should be reworked, as always who want expand the idea can do it

Infantry

  1. First point costumization shouldn’t be campaign based anymore but season and location based in this way
  • Spring/autumn
  • Winter/tundra
  • Summer/pacific
  • Desert
  • Urban
  1. for make this work all uniform shouldn’t care of time travelling, player should be free to use 1945 German uniform and the opposite every time they want, otherwise we cant regroup the uniform without split them per era

  2. uniform purchase should be reworked, all the basic uniform variant our soldiers use should be purchasable for silver and can be used in all squad over possible, uniform who don’t are free on a tech tree squad should be purchasable as normal for gold or card, card cost should be reduced of 50% imo

  3. on gold/card purchased top uniforms should be present a dynamic feature for pouches, in brief the pouches of ammo should change from the basic model to the historical one of the gun you use

  4. on gold/card purchased uniform pants they should show pistol in the holder and the knife on the belt

  5. purchasable top uniform should have dynamic squad insignia on the arm who change in base of the squad they are in

ugh… i’m not sure increasing the number of presets is a good idea ( since, currently, we only have 4 presets. technically 3 and a half considering that stalingrad & bulge are essentially the same. and moscow is a fraction of being one of the two. across 5 campaigns for the germans. and 4 for allied ( when it should be 3 etc )

which, results in needing to make more presets for each squads ( something like, 400+ squads each… minus japan )

so, i’d think it should all come down to:

  • Summer/Autumn
  • Winter/tundra
  • Desert/pacific

which would reduce the customization to 3, keeping in mind:

which unfortunately, it appears they do, and sort of dont.

they didn’t up until now since we had pea dot camouflages over stalingrad.
but now they are sort of " canon " considering that they go over Rzhev.

and once again, the customization is tied to squads, not actual campaigns / presets.

the presets is nothing but a shopping list with items that appears and not.
you can notice this factor as some squads comes with ( for example ) volkssturm appearance by default in berlin and others dont. even if they share similar squad class type.

or how some sniper squads get access to white pants / green helmets over normandy, but not over any other campaign nor squad.

unfortunately.

not dropping names but…

so if we can shrink it, perhaps it’s best

IMO, it will be :

For germans :
africa
West Europe Winter and russian front
West Europe

For Alliés:
Desert / Africa
Europe all season
Europe winter
Pacific

URSS :
Winter
All season

Jap’ :
Don’t need this

I really don’t like this point. To some extent I wouldn’t really mind inaccuracies, it doesn’t have to be 1:1 accurate. But if possible, uniforms should respect time period of individual maps.
