Uniforms linked to biomes rather than the countryside

Currently, uniforms are still locked to each campaign, which creates historical inconsistencies and limits creativity.

I think it would be much more logical and efficient to link uniforms to the biome rather than the campaign:

Winter outfits → all snowy maps

Summer outfits → all summer maps

Desert outfits → desert maps

Urban outfits → urban maps

This would achieve two things: Greater historical consistency, since climate-appropriate uniforms would be available for all relevant battles.

More freedom for players and content creators, who could finally offer consistent and varied outfit guides without being constrained by an overly rigid campaign system.

We would maintain authenticity, but with a more flexible and fun system.

It would be good to read my arguments before voting, thank you in advance.

Some winter uniforms like the Wintertzarn (prolly spelled that wrong) weren’t available in moscow.

Vro really throwing the term “historical consistency” around without even knowing what he talmbout

That’s all well and good, but what don’t you like about my method? Tell me and I’ll adapt it! And who claims I don’t know what I’m talking about? Prove it with A and B, and I won’t argue.

knowing that if you really know about uniforms, you can suggest them and document them.

I’m just saying, certain uniforms need to be restricted from campaigns that they don’t belong in

Like the marine uniforms for US. Those should be pacific only, not for any other campaign. The current system, while flawed, is much better than this. It exists to (at least try) to prevent historical innacuracy. I would argue that customization should just be made cheaper because of all of the campaigns

So far I’ve been following you and I agree, but a system needs improvement; it can’t just be left to deteriorate. In the case of my idea, you can add more categories than the current one, and to avoid inactivity, players can also work on it, not just the developers talking about it.

Now the question is: how come I don’t know what I’m talking about? Yes, I sometimes say stupid things and I apologize, but if I don’t know something, do you?

Well the devs aren’t using the current system in historical way anyways. We have m43 caps and random peadot camo pieces in moscow for an example. I would much rather have a little bit unhistorical clothing if it meant that i wouldn’t have to buy clothes for 5 campaigns

I’m not extra knowledgeable about uniforms, but some things are on the surface:

In the winter of 1941-42 Germans didn’t have the same “winter” parkas and anoraks as they would wear later in 1944-45.

In the summer of 1941 Soviets had early war “summer” uniform (currently not in the game), and in 1944-45 they were wearing late war pattern.

So if we want to have any sort of care for WW2, it’s not as easy as

yes to the suggestion,

but this:

part of why the uniforms were separated was for this reason.
for authenticity.

and you can’t expect to use 1943 uniforms in 1941.

pointing them out, would take more than than i’d really like to spend.

all to say, both this system and a dedicated uniforms based on environments will continue to " create " a non historical consistency.

so if anything, said rules should be lifted and let anyone wear however they want.

with the exception perhaps of white stuff in forest and what not.

so, kinda like… currently, but expanded upon.
and above all, carry over if the same fricking tunic is buyable in more campaigns,

makes 0 sense having to buy the same stupid item if it’s available elsewhere.

Thank you for your post.

I am open to this system.

I do wish that some Italian uniforms were more widely available though, not all Italian uniforms are specifically desert only (such as the helmet) but they can only be used on Italian squads in Tunisia which is annoying.

As a side note unfortunately desert uniforms for the Allies in the Pacific would be very historically accurate. More specifically Australian soldiers who were fighting in the desert were transferred to the Pacific theatre to defend Australia but were not provided with jungle uniforms so had to fight in New Guinea wearing ‘yellow’ uniforms which obviously stood out. Some tried using leaves to dye their uniforms.

I also wish the British/Australian squads could have proper winter uniforms for the Bulge maps instead of just a generic pullover jumper. (cheese en crackers Gro-mit?)

Other forum members have previously posted specific winter (white) uniforms for British soldiers.

Meanwhile the 1st Agas Australian squad should use standard European theatre uniforms instead of the completely made up blue uniform.

Standard Australian European uniforms were basically the existing green standard British uniform in Enlisted.
