Small Weapon Detail Variations

[Redit]

My suggestion is basically that there are certain variations of each other that are randomized on spawn, I got this idea while watching a segment of gameplay footage of the unscoped K98, I also noticed this in Ost however, the Kar98 always has the front sight cover.

Iirc the cover was removable and many soldiers lost theirs during battle etc as it isn't integral to the operation of the rifle, and it will still work fine without it, so their rifle would just be a Kar98 without the front sight cover, it's not really important but it isn't difficult to implement a very small model attached to the weapon in 1st person view. It is of course just aesthetic but I thought I might as well suggest it anyway since no else has.

Obviously there are lots of variations that could come in all guns, even if its just in wear and tear or damage that can be changed simply in texture.

E.g.

I hate it when every weapon has the exact same scratches, it destroys realism.

I think every gun should have different scratches, some should look new in the box, some should look moderately worn, and some should be worn to hell, this should depend on the experience of the unit.

I'd also like to see different wood finishes on guns, the sniper rifles in RO1 had different wood finishes.

TWI already stated heroes get the shiny weapons. So, I'd expect some amount of variation.

I would very much like to see the option to have no sight hood.

 

[SolitarioSoldat]

vCOD-K98 without the aimsight hood

COD2-K98 with the aimsight hood

It would be a nice option feature to have it on or off,but honestly to me its something not that important,but then some for some people is a pleasure to have that option.

Question is what TWI thinks of it?

You know... shiny weapons don't really make sense. When I'm near-Hero after a year of playing, I'm probably going to purposefully downgrade and keep the starter guns. Because when you think about it, a German "Hero" would pretty much be a half frozen veteran huddling in a foxhole protecting the approaches to Gumrak with 3 bullets in his Kar.

I'd like to add that having no sight hood is not exactly aesthetic in that many people find it easier to shoot with it off both in real life and in game.

I'm sure they had more bullets then that.

 

[Hausfeld]

It was for the effect. As you get better at the game you ought to handicap yourself to allow for more of a challenge.

I just want rolled up sleeves and an MKB42 :troll:.

Didn't you guys see, once you reach Hero status all your guns are either nickel or gold plated. :troll:

In all seriousness though, I think a database of 25 different randomly generated wear mark skins that change every spawn would be AMAZING. Unfortunately I think the weapon texture artists would die of malnutrition long before finishing so much as the Kar98.

We can always hope though!

I approve of this. :IS2::troll::IS2::troll:

I kind of think weapon skins would fit really perfect as micro transaction content. Doesn't make any real difference to the game-play as for example different uniforms would but could still look different enough. And you could still have different scratches on the standard one.

this isn't a korean mmo. micro-transaction doesn't belong. thanks.

The gun above (the shiny one) will not be seen in game. And you know why? I

Let's not forget that posting pictures of 60+ year old rifles isn't going to accurately illustrate how the finish of the rifles looked 60+ years back. Back in the day they were no doubt in a much better state than they are now. Age deteriorates everything..

This probably illustrates better how a K98k looked back then, but even then this is a 60+ year old rifle, so it no doubt looked even better back in the day:

Tbh I posted the pictures to show the sight hood on and off, the wood had nothing to do with it.

That is the most beautiful gun I have seen. Modern assault rifles are rubbish in comparison to this.

I'd love to see this, as well as on tanks, but I don't want the game in another YEAR:IS2:
