This too though.

Totally agree!
That's what I'd like to see as well. Maybe some simple face customisation too (hair color, eye color, beard - for veterans, etc.), and I'd consider two additional aspects: female soldiers and different ethnics (russian side only).
In my opinion the body type would be the most important, and that could add another layer of authenticity which was never done before. You could recognise your comrades not only by names, but by how they look in-game.

The face customization would be nice, but on the different ethinicities and genders.....its not going to happen; been discussed.

I voted with "yes".

I dont know if a face customisation is so much important.
Certainly it would be nice-to-have.

But more impact it would have, to get a chance to choose, for example, a
- Splinter Camo jacket
- Splinter Camo helm
- Zeltbahn
- white coloured helm
- jacket with sleeves up
or other stuff.

Very good suggestions there.

My problem is that I don't want it to become Team Fortress 2: World War 2 Edition.

[Giuliano]

This isn't so much of a customization, but seeing as its cosmetic I thought I'd offer a suggestion.

What about emblems for units being portayed in their respective battles? In Grain Elevator for instance, the Germans can have the emblem of the 94th infantry, and the Russians can have the emblem of the 35th Guards or the marine units who fought there.

As long as it doesn't destroy authenticity, as in russians running around in winter gear on summer maps, this idea is fine by me

[sturmfuhrer]

Totally agree.
