For God’s sake, I have been ranting about this ever since I started playing the game, so 200hrs ago.
The uniforms are just HORRIBLE, they look like they’re based on a comic book or some chinese cosplay.
For the last time, at least in case of Germany:
- Pea dot should not have wehrmacht collar pads (litzen) as this camo has never been used by wh.
- Colours of uniforms are just awful, inaccurate even though they varied depending on the material.
- Volkssturm badges for line infantry? oh come on… and volkssturm appearing anywhere outside Berlin? It was created in september 1944! this is just ridiculous!
- some random attachments for uniforms, mismatched mag pouches like one for mp40, the other for g43. Everything based on some imagination of how it looked like. Some infantry squads “stock” soldiers all have officer boots for some reason…
Just to point it out shortly: German army most of the time stuck to their guidelines. All soldiers had to be shaved (moustache allowed), Typical infantry squad consisted of one officer with machine pistol (mp38 or mp40), one mg gunner and the rest eight of them were “schutzen”, riflemen. Since the devs did actually create cosmetics exclusive for certain classes, why not make them actually make sense?
Officer with mp pouches (in late war some schutzen also had mp or stg pouches), mg gunner with mg kit and pistol pouch (maybe some ammo belt around his neck), for riflemen - a brotbeutel, canteen, bayonet (or the scabbard at least), TWO SAME AMMO POUCHES, optional gasplane, optional gasmask can, optional but recommended suspenders.
If other games can do it right (Post Scriptum, Hell let Loose), so can they!
