Hiho,
Well..some first attempt to paint over the russian_snowcamo texture to get something like that three color camo overcoat...:
Yes, i know..the gloves are still white
.
All in all i think its not so bad for a first attempt; in my eyes the camo pattern is wayyyy to big, though. Maybe too bright as well.
Tell me what u guys think
greetz,

Radnomized uniforms
Radnomized uniforms
In WWII not every soldier had exactly the same uniform. I think this should be applied in-game. For example, the german troops in the russian front would tie random bits of cloth they could find around their nose and mouth to make breathing in the cold easier. You may refer to some of the german troop models in CoD2 to demonstrate this. This would be a great stride toward realism in my eyes. Some of the germans in CoD2 even had white coats and goggles on. I'm not actually sure how accurate that part is, seeing as I remember Hitler refusing to send his troops in Russia winter gear, but if it was indeed accurate then by all means implement that too. Really I would love to see different models in troops, some without any headgear beyond a helmet like they are currently. Some germans may spawn with a face cloth on. Some with goggles. Some with a combonation of both. I would really like to see randomized uniforms happen, the face gear being only one example of many options.

Well maybe for some winter maps (how many there are?) where the axis are short on equipment.

This has been discussed 3-4 times and Im sure we will get variations at some point, remember this game isnt that old yet.

I have lots of photo's of SS soldiers in winter camo they used it alot when it was available. At least they painted there helmet white and painted their panzers. Here's a photo for you:
Troops of SS-Freiwilligen-Legion Niederlande in action, Winter 1942/43 in the Volkhov region.

Until Stalingrad and the beginning of the retreat, Germans troops were mostly issued longcoats. For anything better, they had to improvise. Later, they got better winter clothes like hooded reversible parkas and winter trousers.

Gruppenfuhrer headgear
Gruppenfuhrer headgear
It's something I'd noticed a while back, but was too lazy to make a thread on the matter. Basically, the Gruppenfuhrer wears the M43 cap on all maps. Since there are 1941 and 42 maps, this particular cap should not be in circulation (arguably it could be used on Kaukasus since it more or less is the Gebirgsmutze).
Therefore I propose either the addition of the M38 Feldmutze or NCO Schirmmutze for the Gruppenfuhrer on pre-1943 maps.
Since it doesn't affect gameplay and is more of an art thing it is not as though it requires immediate implementation, but it would be something to have for the future when varied uniforms start to appear.

The M40 was primarily given to the Afrika Korp from what I know. However the officers should get the M38 Overseas cap, and maybe the M42 cap which si like the M43 but without the visor. The Gebirgsjager really need their uniforms fixed.

Thank you for notice, although I'm well aware of the issue with the head gear.
If one wanted to be more realistic, none of the noncoms in-game would be wearing soft caps on the frontline during active combat situations. Rather, they would be distinguished by their silver tresse on the collar and shoulder boards while wearing the generic army steel helmet.
However, since we do have field caps to distinguish the NCO further while in-game, early war maps would feature the Heer M38 overseas cap followed by the mid-war and hugely popular M43 type.

German Winter Gear
German Winter Gear
I hope we will get German Winter Gear sometime!
Perhaps someone can make a poll for this, but I think it is obvious that all winter maps since 1942 should feature winter camo for the Germans.

The winter of '42 - '43 the Germans still didn't get their winter uniforms.
But hey, I liked the uniforms in Infiltration, they were allways very much alike and every round there would be some people apolagising.
It makes people play very carefull on certain maps once they adjust.
