I think that the german and russian uniforms looks much the same.
For example yesterday i saw a german walking by 1 metre along me.
It`s often with the lighting that the german uniforms are a bit yellow.

So tripwire can you something do with the colours?

I am tired of to be many teamkilled but sometimes i do it also.

There is an easily noticeable difference in the current uniforms.

Should they make the Russians bright red, and the Germans bright blue?

Germans blend in to much, a bright red swastika (or whatever it was called, n@zi token or something like that.) would perhaps do it.

I have never had an issue with determining who is who... All I can say is add a color blind option to the game if that is your case.

Except that the Germans didn't use black helmets...

Just be happy that it's not later in the war when the Russians switched to green uniforms.

Russian hero soldiers on winter maps have green uniforms

I noticed that. At first I thought my graphics card had gone kaput, so I'm glad I've got more folks confirming what I suspected. The unfortunate part about the green winter uniforms for the Russians is that they become even more noticeable in those levels- I truly enjoy hunting for them everytime I play Axis on the snow levels. :D

The more I play, the less confusing I find it. Sometimes shadows can make me unsure, but if that's the case I just hold my fire untill I'm sure.

Confusing isn`t me. I get teamkilled very often. Players can zoom in
but they don`t look good. My tactic is to flank and try to go behind
the enemies. And when i am on a spot, bammm teamkill and i can`t never
again reach that same spot. But this happened already in ROost.

My teamkills are by reflexes or that a teammate walk through me when i
shoot.

On long range zoomed in on someone, dont know wich side he's on? Keep an eye out where he comes from and is going. Allso note how he holds the gun if running, russians uses two hands on sprinting wile germans use one hand.

On medium - close range there should be no problem at all, their uniforms doesent look same at all in my opinion. Get used to them, study them if needed :p Think before you shoot, dont panic.

Yesterday i was even teamkilled by a sniper. And i was in open terrain.

Hahaha isn't that the best? Nothing pisses me off more!

I don't think people know that Russians and Germans have two very different ways of running/sprinting.

I seriously agree! It has helped me at times when they appear fuzzy at a long distance or dirt flying and I see 2 hands holding a weapon and down he goes :)

I hate that so much. Players can be so extremely stupid. On Fallen Fighters, if I'm Russian, I love to run behind all the buildings on the right flank and creep up to their bunker, but I seldom make it because I get picked off by my own team 287% of the time. It's like, "hey, there's a guy over there killing Germans and shooting in their direction as well as running towards them, he must be German, shoot!" No common sense.

In regards to the uniforms, they are fine imo. I have never had trouble discerning between the two, and at a long distance, I can see how they run to determine who they are. My TK's are never a mistake of color, just reflex accidents and a grenade catching the overhead of a door lol.

actually it can happen that there is a yellowish tinge to germans in some places where the light hits them.

However, i think the majority of tks is just people shooting first then looking afterwards.
