i noticed the last few times i played dod that all of the player models are realistic with the exception of the american paras. it seems that the faces are too "blocky" and all of them look the same. the mohawk haircuts underneath look bad, and the uniforms dont go well with maps like zalec and others.

i am making a request for all new american para models and new skins to go along with them. the heads should be shaped like normal and they should have hair underneath rather than the mohawk. the trooper should be wearing the m42 jump jacket and trousers.... both a dark khaki tint. leave the camo off of the helmet and just leave the insignia of the 506th since it is the most common airborne unit. gear should consist of an entrenching tool, grenades, musette bag, jumpknife, bandolier cloth, holster, ammo packs, and various other details. if youve played the demo for call of duty, notice the gear in those models.

i know its asking a lot but its getting boring to play as paras because the current models just look too unrealistic and lack gear. it might be hard work but its worth it and im sure everyone would download it in a minute.

Half of what you wanted.

i still want helmets, but hair underneath for when they get shot off. i dont want all of the models running around without helmets. i dont want facepaint on them either... im trying to get a look that isnt so much like D-Day. the uniform color is a little off and it lacks gear. i like the new head model for the one with the hair... it looks a lot more realistic than the others.

this would be close if you lost the mae west, face paint, camo on the helmet, changed the uniform color a little, and replaced the head model.

i will try to find some images of what im looking for. thanks for the reply.

i hate to tell u but the Para models are the most realsitic models. In case u didnt no but a lot of the Airborne troopers shaved their heads like that if u need proof watch Band of Brothers or go to a site. Also the gear the u are requesting half of it is on them already if u want extra stuff download Russ's Paras.

im fully aware that members of the 101st shaved their heads and got mohawks but only for the normandy invasion. they also only had the camo and burlap on their helmets in france and since they didnt have any more night time drops, they didnt paint there faces all the time either.

here is the criteria for the model i am looking for
-new models (default para is blocky)
-normal hair (no mohawks)
-no facepaint (normal faces)
-new helmet (no camouflage or burlap, insignia of the 506th)
-new jacket (dark khaki m42 jump jacket)
-more gear (chest holster, jumpknife, grenades, riflebelts, etc)
-proper rank chevrons and helmet insignia
-101st airborne patch and american flag

it might not be 100% historically accurate but it would look good.
