Hi,

I got to say the models look awesome, for both sides, but one thing I don't like is the German uniforms, or the lack there of.

All they seem to be wearing is a hooded sweatshirt that I could buy at my local sports wear store. I mean all I can see that they have realistic is the boots and the helmet. They lack insignia of any sort.

I would greatly appreciate if someone makes a new skin for Axis troops once 1.0 comes out. I am talking full battle dress uniform, with insignia on the colar, the eagle cluthing the swaticka on the breast pocket, and just overall realistic looking uniform.

And if anyone can make some awesome looking Waffen SS skins, with the SS runes on the colar and maybe a armband they wore with "Hitler jugend" or "Liebstandrte Adolf Hitler" written on it.

I would greatly appreciate it, and I am sure others would too.

Yes, but I'd like to have insignia and have them wear battle dress uniforms. And yes I know you woudn't be able to read it, but it'd be nice to have the armbands in some form.

it looks like the Axis have insignia on their breast, but I can't really tell

I noticed the Stosstruppen does, but not all of them. The MGer has nothing, neither does the Sharfuhrer.

all soldiers with the regular fieldgrey uniform do have the insignia. only the ones with the camo parka (the sniper, mg and sturmtruppe) don't have this, because the parka is over the normal uniform.

Hi

Just to let you know.

The German Tunic uniforms have collar bars markings, shoulder patches and eagles on their chests.

We considered doing multi ranks, but we had memory/skin sizes to consider. The thing about the custom community.. is you guys dont :).. so you can go to town when you get the chance.

The Parkas (which were used in real life) used a marking system of bars on the arms for ranks.. and given that multiple classes use the same skin if we say made them a Private, then the Sniper, Machine Gunner, and Stg44 guys would have to be Privates as well... (no space for multi arms we would have had to add skins)

I am sure someone will create a pack that has multi patches,rank markings, it is possible.

I have to agree, the models and skins do look amazing.

I don't like the axis grenadier and the way his pants come over his boots.

Other than that the models look great. But I'll be replacing the Grenadier with the Stosstruppe model with the cool rolled up sleeves :D!

The models and skins for the troops look great I must admit.
