Perfect way to implement cosmetics

Weapon textures like different wood patterns. (walnut, dark oak, plywood, ect)

And bluing or rust for metal parts.
Also if you make the premium squad guns purchasable for 500 gold you would get sales.

Soldier uniforms would do well.

Hopefully this is implemented instead of paying 50 dollars for a singular gun.

hepfully not uniforms- they could quickly devolve into p2w
although it could work if they were visible only for you/your teammates

Camos would be great. Real tired of my snipers wearing white in Moscow and looking like a giant ā€œshoot meā€ sign in half the maps

I mean war is pay to win. I also would like camos.

So have fun playing vs bots.

Camos aren’t a terrible idea but it needs to be done with great care. Back in planetside 2 we had something like a ā€˜leopard camo debacle’ where people would run around with some kind of leopard/cheetah-esque camo whichwould make people’s reaction times against you actually increase because it changed the colour of your armour to a non-faction colour (the same if the skin was bought on any faction), which was often the primary method of quickly identifying targets in that game.

Here it’s similar, I and a lot of others have gotten used to spotting camo/uniforms as the doritos aren’t reliably visible. If two factions have similar camo (I’m not an expert on ww2 uniforns but I still get caught out by the white helmets of both soviets and germans at moscow) it could lead to some similar problem.

Back when Lone Fighters wasn’t murdered (well… put to sleep would be a better word I guess) there were times when the uniforms had similar colors or they were simply too far away and… well let’s just say the bullets were not as friendly as they should’ve been lol

i mean…

in tunisia they all roughly looks like the same.

i keep watching videos of people shooting their own teammates…

which in LF it’s a massacre :joy:

dunno what everyonse is about cosmetics uniforms.

there aren’t many choises ( outside for the krauts in terms of options ).

even if you would buy a skin that somewhat helps you to council your squad, enemy or friendly bots still shoot at you from miles. therefore you are not going to have much advantage. plus, i think it would help to make the battlefield a bit more different.

regardins weapons skins, i would also love them as long they are historical accurate.

but as i said, i don’t think customization it’s going to be a priority up until a year maybe.

we still have so much to go through.

Agreed there’s far more important issues to take priority. Like adding more premium panzer 4s

Its good to see that other people are like minded.
I actually just made a post not that long ago discussing just that.
I think it would be a perfect way of giving DF some sustainable Income. That way they could find a way to fix Silver orders for F2P players. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I will pay to ensure F2P can stay F2P. Just give me the things I want to pay for.

That being said, if they make Premium Weapons purchasable, they need to Limit the amount you can buy to the amount the squad comes with, and only 1 Purchase per account so that way it doesn’t unbalance the game in some crazy way.

I think this would be different, as it would remain your Nations (or allied Factions) Camo patterns. Which are very distinct with some small exceptions in Tunisia and Berlin. I do not see this being a problem TBH. As well, you either have a Triangle above your head or not. SO just shoot anything without that (though in Tunisia, it’s murder at time because everyone uses Sand colour).

Oh absolutely, I am sure there are more Ausf. (enter letter here) they can make up and use.

also, colourblind mode should be added some factions can look similar if you have issues seeing colour like i do.

We still have the F1 to drop in moscow yet;)

Colorblind should be mandatory in any FPS or game period where color matters for IFF.
I advocated (Along with many others) on another game, and good on the Dev’s they actually brought in a few experts to help them because (and many people don’t know this) that there are variations of colorblindness.

DF should work on that as soon as possible.

I might be alone on this but I wouldn’t use cosmetics even if they were free.
I don’t care at all how my soldiers look.

Yeah… a lot of ā€˜colourblind modes’ in games are just on/off which doesn’t help at all

Exactly. I do not have it, but I know people whom do, and the basic modes a lot of games offer are not sufficient.

Yeah i remember playing lone fighters and constantly being kicked for friendly fire because i ether shoot at what i think is the enemy or get killed trying to determine.
