When we change US soldier to UK one please make it that they wore UK uniforms as well and vice versa.
Applies to the axis team as well.

My OCD will scream if I can use German uniforms in Italian squads, or with any other combination in game. The squads thrmselves have a nationality. The 501st Airborne should not be British.
My OCD will also scream if you mix German torso options with Italian pants and helmets, or any other kind of mix.
Additional, people of other nationalities did serve in other nations uniforms. Italians did fight in German uniforms, it would not surprise me if Tyrol Germans fought in the Italian army, too. And that’s not to mention that some people preffer the idea of using US voices in Canadian squads, ro distinguish them from the rest of the Commonwealth.
And, if all the squads can use all the uniforms, you can say goodbye to the idea of getting new uniforms in the future. You’d effectively double the ammount of uniforma available to Allied or Axis squads, without actually anythinf new being added. I don’t want the devs to have an excuse to be lazy.

Your OCD won’t scream if you simply keep everyone in an American squad Americans and Italian squad Italians
Optionality is the key here
this is actually a very good suggestion.
allowing for those who wants to get more italians squads without actually needing italian squads.
and vice versa. ( or Uk etc )
on top, being able to mix units if someone likes it.
problem is, it’s due to technicality.
uniforms currently work based on squad, and not on individual soldiers.
meaning, they would have to revamp the whole system. which… they won’t…

It will scream if other people start doing dumb combos.
Though, then it’s not the OCD that’s the issue.
We already have enough insane BS in this game.
My OCD is definitely not gonna enjoy seeing a squad run in a straight line where some are wearing German uniforms and some are wearing Italian uniforms.
Perhaps the concession is squad nationality change button that cost maybe few appearance orders that straight up change the nationality of your entire squad?
Thank you for your post.
I get the argument here.
For example when the merge happened I wanted all Australian (technically British) squads. I had a maxed out machine gun squad, but it was American. So in order purely to have British/Commonwealth uniforms I had to grind a random British machine gun squad.
This is dumb and wrong.
I understand those who are concerned about having squads where some guys are in American uniforms and some are in British though Im reasonably confident most players wouldnt do that cause its just weird.
All I want is easy nationality change.
I’ve previously argued that devs should get rid of the specific unit names (everyone has the wrong weapons and fighting in the wrong theatres anyway)
And replace them with general Rifleman squad, Machine Gunner squad, Radioman squad etc etc and just let players choose to make it a British OR American, German OR Italian squad, respectively.
Voicelines and uniforms would automatically change and this should be for free.
It is true sometimes Italians wore Wehrmacht uniforms and such but personally I dont think that is a major issue, the major issue is ‘I want British soldiers, stop making it so hard to convert them from Americans’.
It is more difficult for vehicles. Eg. At present I am stuck with an American squad because I want APC. Now the Universal Carrier (eg Australian or Canadian variant) should be in game anyway but at the very least we should be able to have British soldiers in an Allied APC squad.
Likewise for the Axis.
As for the Canadians I think we should get specific Commonwealth squads anyway. Ive argued so many times now its really not hard to make Commonwealth squads.
Canada all you need is CANADA patches on the shoulders of standard British uniforms and American voicelines. (Canadian voice actors would be good but I cant see them going to that effort)
Australia we already have the uniforms and squads, just make the uniforms freely available, same for New Zealand. Personally Im okay with British voicelines for both since voice acting would be wrong (even contemporary Australians from Sydney dont have the right accent).
Others have posted proof of concept ideas showing the different national flags where you click and so now your squad is specifically Australian or Canadian or Italian or Hungarian. (expanding Axis nationalities in future would be good)
This could be nice, especially if the squad emblem and name also change.
Having 12 US rifle squads, I would finally convert one of them into a British rifleman squad.
But honestly, we just need legacy/new Italian/British squads of all classes.
