Open your eyes, lol... There is nothing that has to be censored if you look at the above image... Swastika is already replaced.
That's not historically accurate.

Good thing they didn't succeed. Otherwise half of Europe would be speaking German right now.Clearly the Germans invaded Soviet Russia to steal all their chinstraps since the German army had none of their own.

Yes, and so is having none on the battlefield at all... Same with chinstraps. But this would be a solution for the German player, because it would not be sold in their country with a swastika ingame. Or they could have the lower piece where the swastika should be worn-out, so you won't see it anymore.That's not historically accurate.

Having no decals is historically accurate, just somewhat improbable scenario regarding the timeline of the game.
So here's what I did... I google "Stalingrad" and why is is that the first couple of images that show up have German soldiers in it with helmet decals?.
Even if the Dev's don't add decals they should at least add some kind of aged or dirt look to it... The helmet look much too clean. Almost as clean as a modern repro.

I think its wrong to say the higher the rank, the dirtier you get because obviously a field commander won't want to look like a complete scruff would he?
I know. That doesn't really change the statement that it's both authentic and oddly improbable at the same time, as there's plethora of reasons why there were soldiers who removed their decals and some who kept theirs regardless what the official instructions was. You can find photos from '39 - '40 where you can see decals literally scratched off despite the official stance, and you can find occasionally double decals even from 1945... regardless of the official stance.
The higher you're so called rank is the dirtier you are. Besides if you look at the press kit screenshots the helmets are relatively dirty and have signs of wear and tear on them.
While we're at it shall we bring up next that all leather eguipment in RO2 are not properly treated and are factory fresh? Or that the boots have physically incorrect wear "signs" on them? Or there's field repair seams in the trousers that wouldn't make sense if you actually know how to sew things together? Or there's even anachronistic error in the field gear allowing physically impossible setup? Or that the boots are too "large" and clean fitting? Or that the feldgrau of tunic and trousers is an exact match which is more rare than winning in the lottery?
If you had your chinstraps on and a grenade blew up near you, your head could come off because of the concussive explosion. So, I think that should be an option to have chinstraps on or not :3
I dont understand?????
