Currently in game we only have two main versions of rifleman kit (for the standard “01_ger summer” tunic) as seen below:
One with G43 pouches
And one with mauser pouches and an MG13 bandolier
Both of these are good, however, it would be nice to see one with the standard infantryman webbing for historical reasons, as not all soldiers were issued G43s and not all soldiers carried MG13 ammo (especially in a late war setting) oh and imo the MG13 pouches just look ugly.
Below is a picture of a standard rifleman kit:
As you can see, it contains:
- two Kar98k stripper clip pouches
- the gas cape
- the gasmask case
- the breadbag
- an M31 Feldflasche (flask/canteen)
- a shovel
- a rolled zeltbahn
- and a mess tin
Notice the lack of MG13 pouches
In game currently, the closest thing we have to this is the following preset:
Even then, this is only available in one tunic colour, and it lacks the zeltbahn, flask, and gas cape, making it look quite empty and ugly to be honest.
I am asking for a version of the standard rifleman kit with no MG13 pouches to be added for all availabe versions of the “01_ger_summer” tunic
Here are some historical photos for reference:
Notice the lack of MG13 pouches…
Should this be done?
- Yes
- No
