Female NLF/VC Characters

Simple enough. There's evidence to suggest that the Viet Cong/National Liberation Front recruited women into combat positions. Other than making new models and doing voicework, this should be a relatively simple addition as they can use the same rigs as male characters, and hitboxes don't need to change drastically.
 
Not this damn meme again.

1. All the photographs people post to "prove" female VC are blatantly staged propaganda. Even if you find legitimate, factual evidence of their existence I guarantee you the numbers will not be enough to justify adding them to such large-scale game. There's a reason the game doesn't have the CAR-15 for example even though people keep asking for it, because there were a very small amount of them and it was not in any large battles.

2. You cannot stick a female model on a male skeleton without making it look ugly as sin. The two genders have fundamentally different bones and anatomies, ignoring that and trying to create a cross between the two will result in an gross looking who-knows what. That's what Blackwake did and good lord it just looks downright disturbing.

3. ANY change to hitboxes gives an unfair gameplay advantage. You dang know literally everyone and their mother will be picking them just because of the smaller hitboxes, even if the change is miniscule. And if you keeping the hitboxes the same that's even worse, because now you're able to shoot and kill a player in a spot where their model doesn't exist.

3. It's not "relatively simple", precisely because of the models and voices. With the voice actor strike they already had enough trouble getting normal voices that don't sound like garbage.
