Suggestion for New Uniforms and German Uniform Redesign

[ZeeLaps1]

Hello to the team and the community,

I would like to propose some ideas to enhance the visual experience in Enlisted:

1. Adding new uniforms/camouflages
   Drawing inspiration from the camouflage patterns in Heroes & Generals could bring:

• More variety and immersion for soldiers.
• Historically accurate uniforms.
• Greater customization options for players.
  2.(The names of the specific camouflage patterns are included in my suggestion. Currently, I am only showing uniforms for infantry and tank crews, but I can also make suggestions for German sniper uniforms if there is interest.)*Being a former player of Heroes & Generals, I found their uniforms much closer to reality—they were very well modeled and offered a wide variety of camouflages. I would love to see similar designs in Enlisted, which I consider a fantastic remake of this legendary game.

3. Redesign of the current German uniform
   The current German uniform in the game looks too similar to civilian clothing and lacks historical accuracy. A redesign towards a more authentic model would improve immersion and the game’s credibility while maintaining visual balance.

Thank you to the team for your attention and for all the work on the game! I hope these suggestions can enhance the player experience.

• Yes
• No

while heroes and general uniforms were not perfect,

it represents the german army better than enlisted does

and is kinda a strange thing how, in enlisted, the pilot uniform does have the breast eagle on the pilot uniform:

but not on regular uniforms:

now granted, to be fair, that’s the luftwaffe eagle. and the heer / army eagle is different. as well the Waffens eagle placement.

but it’s to show and say, weird how for one was implemented, but not for the others.

on this however,

great news, more will… at some point, eventually come:

• NOTE
  these above are not currently in the game. Those can be reproduced, but were made with mods and custom templates. custom templates are what modders tweak and edit through the files. which can be easily reproduced in the base game and custom games. but, for clarity, these are not in the game currently.

long story short, the developers have started a process of remaking or rather, reworking some items and making new ones with the camouflage_override tag.

this new items ( and tag ) allows developers ( or modders ) to apply textures onto said pieces.
without the need of making each time a texture. saving up time, space and money.

as normally, in making camouflages with the previous system forced you and involved ( as in a modder or developer ) making dedicated textures that would fit precisely the item.
else some artifacts may have appear ( such as stretching, buttons not being in the right place, and more )

which now, you can just working on making new camouflages and applying them onto said pieces.

right now, there are some of utilized camouflages from the real war ( and fictional ones too ) which i keep updated and logged whenever i can:

Vehicle & Clothing Camouflages

but yeah. more is to come.

which it’s great.

though the lacklaster selection is still a big issue. ( and you’d be surprised how many hiddens items or unused assets are in the editor. legit, been sitting there taking dust for ages )
and the pouches not matching the weapons i give my troops is rather annoying.

excellent post - and a fellow H&G vet. I hope this gets the attention it deserves

[CharlesLeChauve]

First : if we win (event or loot boxes)/unlock (tt)/buy (premium)a squad, we should be abble to use all off the customization options from this squad with our others squads (= and personally I will buy some premium squads only for this )

Second: they should rework entirely the ammo pouch system. As exemple, why the event squad with SD MP40 wear kar ammo pouch on their unique outfit ?

3rd: too many options are in the editor/mods , but not in the game

[KRIEG_MASCHINE-psn]

@CharlesLeChauve

personally I will buy some premium squads only for this

agree on this, I want the camo / leaf style from the TZ45 (think this is the BR3 Ger Squad) for all my squads!!!

[CharlesLeChauve]

This with the pea dot anorak from the premium stgSD (guerrilla) and the cap from the event mp40sd squad…

And, I will be verry happy if I can dress correctly my medics

[Scav_Sergei]

The shoulder and collar coloring is so necessary actually the thing i hate the most about enlisted is that the shoulder and collar tabs have the same color as the uniform which looks plain and terrible…

Please make them distinguish from the camouflage! great idea.

[KRIEG_MASCHINE-psn]

omg yea I never noticed that, the current camos seem to like fuse / merge into each other. Would be a great detail to add

[ZeeLaps1]

Wow, it would be amazing to have all the uniforms in the image—except for the third guy; the one in the green polka-dot uniform is already there. I really hope they’ll add more uniforms in the next update.

But does that mean there are a lot of uniforms that exist but aren’t in the game? Why don’t they include them?

[ZeeLaps1]

The German eagle is missing from the infantry uniforms. In HG, the eagle—or at least the Nazi symbol—was subtly hidden behind the leather strap.

Whereas in Enlisted, there’s nothing—no insignia… except on certain Luftwaffe caps and uniforms…

@ZeeLaps1

But does that mean there are a lot of uniforms that exist but aren’t in the game? Why don’t they include them?

sort of.

there are many available combinations that can be done.
mostly retextures.

but yes.

and as a proof of concept, i did made a list of most items that could be included:

Google Docs

which it’s basically some retextures, and fixes in texture and scale.

as for actual hidden items, can be found where i manually log each docs:

All Clothing list ( Updated )

greetings modders, as promised, i managed to remake a more updated clothing list. this time around though, i made them through google documents and not on the forum. as there, i will not lose the ability to edit the documents unlike the forum after 3 weeks from it’s creation. anyway, i compiled and organized several documents better than the ones i made ( more like, complete. unfurtunately, having documents despite my trying to be more organized as possible, it somewhat made it a bit more mes…

some are new items, others are still retextures.

[ZeeLaps1]

Have you sent everything you created in this Google Doc to the developer? So they can add it to the game?

What you’ve done is amazing; if only the uniforms could be like yours

[ZeeLaps1]

What do you need to do to get this Doc integrated into the game?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@ZeeLaps1

Have you sent everything you created in this Google Doc to the developer? So they can add it to the game?

Yes with the help of a helper, as far as I know and was told, this doc was sent.

Dunno more than that.

@ZeeLaps1

Doc integrated into the game?

Technically, very little.

Just copy and paste the docs.

Since the templates the game uses, are those.

But, most likely they’ll want to review them, pass some quality check or making sure the color matches with other items and what not.

So the process will be somewhat long.

Thought, just in the previous update, some of these were added.
A small fraction, but still.

[ZeeLaps1]

Okay, great—are you talking about the upcoming updates?

In any case, a huge THANK YOU to you for wanting more uniforms and camouflage patterns, and for taking the time to put this document together. Your work speaks for a lot of people!

Why is the new pea dot textures kind of weird, like it has no material and looks like plastic, meanwhile the splinter pattern has actual fabric. Also when is that new helmet cover coming for us?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@Wikerov

Why is the new pea dot textures kind of weird, like it has no material and looks like plastic

i’m not sure what you are refferring to.
but, lights, items them selves and the textures all have their different parameters.

if you mean in the picture, i can’t tell you particularly what’s wrong.

could be that, they may have not used the " filter " textures, or AO.

which gives details such as the wool-over-pattern.

@Wikerov

Also when is that new helmet cover coming for us?

not sure.

the base variant is from the silenced stg 44 with the net.

which it is possible to be removed. hence the helmet.

as for when, it’s unclear.

and quite honestly, probably never. or only for premium / event.

because developers used and keep using the more flatuated one that currently has the splittertarn since the alpha.

@ZeeLaps1

THANK YOU to you for wanting more uniforms and camouflage patterns, and for taking the time to put this document together. Your work speaks for a lot of people!

cheers.

i have tried and made countless treads to improve it.

but, it takes time.

and understandably, not really a priority.

[Wikerov]

I don’t understand, why is the fabric and lightning so weird and impossible to see in the menu, but when you play an actual map they’re actually realistic.

[ZeeLaps1]

I hadn’t noticed, but on this squad you can see REAL German uniforms that have been completely redesigned, with new textures, buttons, pockets, AND finally the “Got Mit Uns” belt.

That gives me hope!

I checked out the test server—it’s awesome!

Maybe they’ll finally replace those ugly uniforms with these ones.

(I feel like crying with joy)

[Ender_Fox]

Unfortunately, this uniform lacks a collar badge and a chest eagle emblem
