I like your idea..but it would spoil the fun of gaming.. 
It would be TO realistic if you know what i'm saying.
(I only like the idea of affecting the weapons and vehicles..dying because of the cold and things would be rediculous)

Well ROOST already affects certain weapons. Specifically, it affects the MG barrel cool-down time. The colder the ambient temp is set to by the mapper, the faster it cools down.
Other than that, I don't know of any other effects.
If they really wanted, they could model the ballistic effects of colder/denser temps on bullet trajectory, but I'd think it would be negligible.
I do recall suggestions on the ROOST forums for visible breath when it's cold. That would be kind of cool, and very atmospheric.
As far as effects on players, I don't know about grave robbing clothes, but I wouldn't be oppose to modeling one side being better equipped with cold weather gear. Warmer clothes would lead to more stamina (it's really tiring to be freezing, as your body uses a lot of calories to keep you warm). But the downside might be movement speed, as you would have bulkier / heavier clothes. If the mapper really wanted to go crazy, they could assign warm values to indoor areas, and cold values to outdoor areas.
That might be beyond the scope of the game though.

Rifle scopes would only frost up if you go from warm to cold. If it's been been in the cold before the battle, it shouldn't frost up.
"Like if its cold enough you can freeze to death" <= You did say this in your topic.
But if you mean shivering because of the cold.. wow.. that would be awesome!

Wounds are generally more lethal in cold. Bleeding decreases body temperature etc. How about in snowy maps or in blizzard you die 25% faster of bleeding than in summer?
I think I'm thinking about fogging. So never mind. I suppose frost could eventually build up on it given enough time.
The formatting might be a bit off but I think that the post holds good thoughts. Like dying faster from bleeding due cold. And I don't know about Russians but Germans had severe problems with their gun freezing. Maybe MG-gunners should have to apply gun oil from time to time to prevent their weapon from jamming?
PS. now we gotta make this a spamthread so TWI guys will become curious enough to come and take a look, and maybe even comment the suggested features
But game needs to reflect the 'real life' as much as possible.
That's what's Red Orchestra all about and that's why i'm playing it so much.

He sir, probably understands his own opinion just fine.
Could it different than yours? Yessir :IS2:

Don't you :IS2: at me!!!
If TWI need to implement everything that real soldiers experienced then HOES isn't going to be fun. It's going to be like joining the army, getting beaten up, starved, and going to visit a frozen version of hell.
(Also : I've already had a PM from the dude, so we is coo'! - I am sure...)
