Seriously talking, if in a campaign of a ww2 fps “simulator” there is a multinational faction, at least make the weapons and equipment compatible with the nations. Even if the radio squad is in fact italian, the radio troops use a german radio. Not talking about the fact that the only grenade type we get is the stiehlandgranate, even if Italians had their own kind of grenades. The same goes for brit weapons on normandy when you play only with the us army. I know that those weapons are meant to be “placeholders” but at least some squad should be reskinned in order to have british also. Seeing allies building mg42 nests and flak 38 guns doesn’t help either.

yeah feels dodgy.
Noticed it when I built an AT gun last night… why the hell are British engineers building M1 57mm when the M1 is an American copy of the British QF 6 Pounder… Why am i building MG42’s when a Vickers would be more appropriate.

Simply because they aren’t putting much effort on those things, like the not working tank hull mgs. I get that it is expensive and hard reworking some things but tiny details like that are enough to ruin the immersion the game managed to brought us.

They shouldn’t have any issues with vehicles they already have the models and much of that works on warthunder, got me beat why they haven’t implemented it

M33 Helmet please, and how about an Italian Paratrooper squad too?

Italians didnt had any Airborne units in Tunisia iirc. Folgore was destroyed at El-Alamein and Nembo was in Yugoslavia.
I seriously hope they will fix those details, they have to since the big amount of people who feedthem with the closed betas
Okay M33 Helmets then
Also a lot of other things (radio, grenades etc), it would be great also if every nations could use only the weapons that historically used, so we don’t have to see italian assaulters with an mp40 or german infrantrymen with a carcano.
Yep, that would be best, and for allies do it same. I already do it on my own, but i woudnt be mad if it was implemented, game already counts if you have Italian or German Infantry man, they cant switch equipment.
And i want my Italian grenades that explode when they land.

I’m hoping to see the Italians get M33 helmets and the more common footwraps as opposed to the rather odd abundance of jackboots and field caps.

The mistake the developers must absolutely avoid is focusing too much of some perfect “balancing” and not giving a damn about things like this. People play this game for the ww2 immersion not for an ultra balanced gun competition.
