Description
Various uniform textures for the Germans. Some of the combos won't make it into the game exactly like its shown here (The white camo parka dude will probably have full leg boots rather than ankle boots and will have gloves for example). But its all nice to look at and shows off some new things.
This model with a random Splinter camo helmet cover would probably be a good idea for a veteran/hero soldier in the Normandy maps - perhaps make a variation in Sumpftarnmuster as well? Panther-store.cz
Well I was actually going with sumpftarnmuster for this but it turned out a bit dull. Also in the engine viewer everything gets massively darkened as well. And I hadn't added the dashes that go across just in case I screwed up with the 3 time colour Scheme.
IOM has a helmet with a camo cover we could borrow.
Also after I took these screenshots we received a modified parka with the standard uniform underneath. Rather than that undershirt thing that TWI gave the winter parka lol. While I have seen images of the parka being worn over the undershirt alone none of them were in extreme winter conditions.
We have an "autumn" period uniform set that would be great for any Hurtgan forest maps that is a mixture of Parkas and greatcoats. With a randomised parka camo selection for people class rank 4 and above. Though in its current state it's rank 5 and above due to the lack of parka textures. I've made 2 but one of them will only fit an April 1945 last ditch thrown together uniform.
Impressed by the time you've already sunk into creating the uniform variations - I doubt you'll be needing anymore feedback from me then, haha. :)
Just lots and lots of time to get that yummy new content ingame ;)
Also, do you mean that this is supposed to be a Sumpftarn parka? The color scheme looks a lot like Splittertarn, certainly fooled me ;)
Splittertarn has a lot less colour in it. Almost White. The most Common varient anyway.
But I have completely redone the sumpftarnmuster colour scheme and pattern. It's a lot more defined. Many using the colour scheme had the brown bits completely seperated from the green bits. Bordered by the light brown. Seemed to be more common than the way it's done in the image you linked. And it adds even more variation anyway. The germans had no standardisation. Neither did the Americans for that matter. Which makes things a little tricky. The russians attempted standardisation but that only started becoming apparent in 1943. The british were the only ones to have complete standardisation. Even going as far to have standardised hand signals that even the home guard was trained to use and understand. No other army had that level of standardisation.
