I've heard that during the winter months in Stalingrad soldiers on both sides would scavenge clothing that they could find to keep warm. I don't know how realistic this would be, but I think an interesting feature for the winter maps would be having a soldier randomly spawn every so often wearing a cloak or similar that is not strictly part of their uniform, maybe a fur coat they stole from a shop or even something they took off the body of an enemy soldier, thus creating a whole theme of possible mistaken identity where a Gerry gets mistaken by the Soviets for one of their own because he's wearing a similarly coloured overcoat on top of his uniform, or something.
Scavenged clothing
- Thread starter WinTurkey
- Start date
That is an epic suggestion.
However there's enough TK'ing in RO as it is, and I'm sure that'll be the case with HOES. No one needs help to tk.

I would like to see this, as long as they still have something to identify them as German.

I too have thought of this. It would be nice for certain maps.
But my idea was more along the lines of most diversity between german troops, with some troops wearing more rags and blankets. Wearing Russian coats would be counter productive to gameplay.

On some maps it would be nice to see the Germans wearing rags and other scavenged clothing. The Russians should mostly be wearing normal uniforms as they were better dressed for the winter.

and when you filter your home made hooch through your gas mask filters you get a psychedelic screen?

Its already too hard for new players to find out who are the team mates and who not. So I think there should be some form of consistency at the least in the helmets vs fur hats.

I once spawned into the allied team with a German uniform and equipment on Danzig. Needless to say it didn't go well 
By scavenged do you mean stolen from the enemy? That might cause many teamkills, otherwise it is a good idea.

Using enemy clothes would be out of the question, to many TK's, but i have no doubt they could find civilian clothes amongst the rubble and abandoned homes.
Thing is though, to avoid further TK's, anything they could wear would have to be discreet, so they are still easilly identifiable as German, perhabs it would be best if you could just see they are wearing something scavenged under their uniform in some way.

In the Battle of the Bulge, a platoon (I think) of German Commandos went disguised as American soldiers and caused confusion by slightly switching road plates and such. They did have perfect English accent, wich helped them to walk around calmly and undetected until they where caught.
Would be nice to see this in RO2.
