Cosmetic Request for Sherman

So I originally posted this on the Steam forums yesterday, and the response has been positive. I was wondering what the rest of the CoH 2 community thought of this: (Also, I wanted to bring more attention to this idea)

"So when most German tanks level up, they get a cosmetic change with the addition of armored skirts. I thought it'd be a nice touch if Sherman tanks got some sandbags put on the front, like in the original CoH.

I forget whether that was through veterancy or upgrading to have a machine gunner, but it was still cool to see.

Would be fun to have CoH 2 shermans, or perhaps all USF armor, treated that way."

Some in that thread thought all tanks should receive this treatment. What do you think? Is this something Relic can do down the line?

"Level 3 for 34 85"

Hell yeah, Shocktroopers on your T34/85 just drive to enemy infantry and watch them melt, Kreygasm

Could work for soviet Sherman, but it would probably be weird for USF since vet is tied to crews. So when you would leave the Sherman it would revert back to its normal, then back again when you hopped back in. Not a big issue, but it would probably look pretty weird

cool idea

or maybe something like the skirts upgrade, for the okw double P4 call-in.

Don't you remember the early days of COH2 when a recrewed vet2 PIV would keep it's skirts even if the new crew was Soviet?

Actually they'll just stay on the vehicle for the rest of it's lifetime, but they will provide no bonuses, as those come from veterancy modifiers and are lost when veterancy goes away.

Still happens, for example an abandoned Vet 2 Panther will still have the skirts on the side, but will not have the armour or health bonus. It will only have 800 health instead of 960 until it reaches Vet 2.
