Update US uniforms to be more historically accurate

[Mdx00]

US Army of WWII maps is quite nice but some historical accuracy deatails like the unit insigna on helmets and uniforms would be very cool.

Here some examples:

5th Ranger Battalion for Omaha Beach STD - ALT:















101th Airborne Division for Omaha Beach LRG, Carentan, Brecourt and Fields of Kassel:

[ALADE3N]

Could be, yes. If we only have Vierville sur Mer

[Mdx00]

Could be, yes. If we only have Vierville sur Mer

Since it's Dog Geen Sector could be the 1st infantry division instead of rangers, also if rangers are cooler IMO

[ALADE3N]

Yes, we want pointe du hoc

[Mdx00]

Yes, we want pointe du hoc

Pointe needs 2nd Ranger Battalion instead of 5th, basically same uniforms but with a 2 on the helmet. Pointe would be a very cool map IMO, with american Breachers throwing hooks to climb the coast. and no vehicles except for the boats

Well it said in the attack 5th joined. So it might work

yes but they joined as backup after the beginning of the battle

[ALADE3N]

yes but they joined as backup after the beginning of the battle

Well yes if someone wants to make textures for it thats fine

How can i take the PR actual ww2 soldiers and kit skins? that should be very esy since i just have to put a couple symbols in the actual ones.

Maybe in the future when I will be able to make models, I'll try to make some harder details, like the Gas mask pouch for beach landing troops

US Airborne models should have painted faces, Mohawk hair cuts when kit dropped for invasion of Normandy layers, painted faces. Watch old footage of them getting ready.

Sorry, but where did you get the idea that US Airborne troops had Mohawk hair cuts?

Thanks! But more to the point, these Filthy 13 of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division which you've shown a picture of were unconventional, and not a standard that ALL models should adhere to in a game. There were around half a million paratroopers and other airborne troops in WWII, and this group pictured accounts for only 0.004% of them.

This would be the equivalent of requesting that all WWII sniper models have a white feather in their cap, because Carlos "White Feather" Hathcock was known for his marksmanship with a sniper rifle and would sometimes wear a white feather in his hat as a symbol of his skills.

Just sayin'

yes, I think that the 101st should have normal haircut and classic facepaint (similar to modern USMC Tropical facepaint but black)

It's 101st (as in, One Hundred and First), not 101th (as in, One Hundred and Oneth)

(lol - no offense, couldn't help myself )

...and I agree.
