USF

Infantry commanders

- Urban Assault Company changed airborne outfits on ranger outfits.
- Added shadow from helmet for Urban Assault Comapny

These commanders got number of adjustments in location. Heavy Cav Company got USF background and updated mini version to match with other commanders. Urban Assault Comapny changes airborne outfits on Ranger one to match with Heavy Cav Company. Additionally, were added proper shadow from the helmet to match with other commanders.

Armor commanders

- Uses vehicle crew outfits.
- DLC commander got USF background
- Additionaly, we placed here alternative variant for MechCompany, since it's about vehicles and armor.

Artillery commander

We decided to not touch his main portrait, but adjusted the mini version to match with other commanders

British forces

Commandos commanders

We adjusted the DLC commandos regiment commander to match with other commandos regiments. Additionally, we added shadow on his face to be more polished

"Officer" commanders

We adjusted the fortification regiment commanders in terms of location to be more in line with other commanders.

Armored commanders

We cahnged the outfits of the lend-lease commander, since it's doesn't have any connection with commando and artillery and mainly contain abilities, connected with vehicles. Of course the face remain, but got some touch in terms of shadows and colofullnes. Finally, commander got UKF backfround.

Untouched coomader

OKW

Tank destroyer commanders

OKW has two commanders based on fighting with heavy tanks. Following the design of Ostheer commanders (poncho for tank destroyers, binoculars for artillery commanders, knight cross for commanders with officier), we adjusted two OKW commanders. Our thanks goes to RitaRush for her help.

Jaeger commanders

These commanders are in line with Ostheer Jaeger commander, but with OKW assets. As before, commander with artillery has binoculars.

Obers commanders

There is two commanders, based on command tanks, obersoldaten upgrades and some other "elite" upgrades. That's why we decided to give them SS oak leaf panzer jacket (without any SS insignia of course). By the way, we couldn't decide on which version of Grand Offesive commander should be used, that's why we post two variants - with original angle and adjusted one (match with other commanders).
Special thanks goes to RitaRush for amazing assets for these commanders.

Unique/untouched commanders

These commanders remain their original assets, we only adjusted their location, and add some additional assets for Elite Armor doctrine. Feuerstorm doctrine didn't get any updated for main version of the portrait.

Question is simple. If it was possible, do you want to see them in the game?
Some commanders will be updated to match with new ability roaster, since announced commanders patch is huge.

Some comparison pictures, created by Sander93

Main goal - standartisation in location, colors, and used assets on the portrait, so you can clearly recognise type of the commander.
Here are two examples with Tiger and Guards commanders. As you can see, they now have a standardised look (coat/cape) for the key commander ability/theme.

This thread is for vote.

Thank you!

I like the original soviet commander portraits because of their serious, unsaturated, gritty, and almost boring feel.

I do not like the oversaturation of soviet commanders. They have too much color.

Big +1 for the Ostheer commanders, especially because they look so slick and organized unlike the current mess we have right now.

The portrait system to ID what commander your using is...lets just say subpar generally speaking...but these new portraits are a significant improvement on the current ones. I say yes!

It's an alright system if you have a small number of Commanders, you can get an idea of who has what by their uniforms and such. CoH2, mostly Ostheer and Soviets, just have way too many and most of them are just guys in officer uniforms.

Nice stuff, I would love to see these changes.

Relic should be paying you for this, holy shit.

This is some really high quality stuff and I also really like your idea for the categorization of commanders as well.

Albeit there's the problem of a unit being removed or added to them with that.

So for example if the commander on the portrait has binoculars but his artillery gets removed then yeah...

But otherwise the new portraits are just more uniform and look superbly.

Love the theme between Tiger/Guards commanders. Hell yes all around

This shouldn't even be discussed. In the game with them, now.

new stuff means content so its good

Yes, these are great.

The only thing I would change is to make the Soviet commander backgrounds slightly less blue and more "greyish"

Although I love the portraits and the idea it might be going a bit to far.

I would agree with change that made Tiger commander to have tank crew uniform or Artillery commanders to wear artillery uniforms but imo that is enough.

its looks amazing, so definitely yes

Overall looks good.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I think polishing the existing ones many of which are off-position or have inconsistent filters applied to them (all previous commander patch portraits) would be a much more acceptable proposition to Relic.
