Character Customisation (YES/NO) - The Definitive Thread

Is there any kind of advantage at all to not wearing a helmet? Besides looking different?
Depends. How big a fan are you of head injuries?
Anyway, all this talk of customization is pointless, unless they include the katzenhelm.
Well, in this particular matter the Germans were "100% nonstop all day every day"-guys. Like said, finding combat photos with Germans not wearing helmets are very, very rare indeed. And that

I'm owning a M40 helmet and it weighs 1,6kg. When wearing it, well it doesn't feel like a feather but it's not that heavy actually.
Has anyone considered that they might have been told to look proper for the photos beforehand?
Not that they would be cleaning up and such during battle, but they would be aware of someone taking photos of them during the fighting.
But that's just too boring. Besides wasn't field cap M43 (or something, the one resembling finnish one) the second popular hat in whole army? Okay the year takes it from Stalingrad but surely they had other hats before. And what if they were ambushed and didn't have time to put helmet on?
And while I'm writing, let's give a German players shoulder badge for winning in Grain Elevator 100 times. According the russian document Great War there was badge for units that took Grain Elevator.

Well they are not anything like kevlar helmets, there isnt
even any kind of paddings inside.
Bullet goes through them easily, and they are only there
for not letting flying debris to wound your head.
As i dont know if it soften the impact anymore than
chunky furcap.
Onlything is that they maybe cover you from smaller
fragments of grenade.
Example if you google gebirgsj

The Mkb42, well actually there are two weapons having the same name except (H) which is Haenel and (W) Walther. Neither of that weapon made it to Stalingrad when you take belief in this book: "The German Assault Rifle 1935-45". Excellent book, I recommend it for anyone interested in weapons, particularly WWII.

That was absolutely random and uncalled for.
Did you even read the stuff and I and many others posted in the Mkb.42 discussion thread?
I'd definitely love to see characters customization, as long as it doesn't go overboard(like SS camo in Stalingrad etc)
Names on your uniform was only practiced by a few countries in WW2 and that was for formal dress. Nowadays last names are common in combat dress, but this was not the case in the 1940s.
I don't know if this has been suggested earlier, but I'd like to see squad's or clan's insignia or logo on helmets. Like in this example.

Squad/clan insignias were used in OFP years ago and I think they are still used in ARMA-games. Seeing the insignia would help to recognize your clanmates and would still suit the spirit of the game.
