i just subtly noticed all the infantry units of US forces are not wearing canvas leggings i wonder why i just hope when relic updates with the coming of the british forces they would make aesthetics changes to USF as well for those of you who dont know what canvas leggings are here is an example they look more cooler if they had that imo

My favorite 'BigRed1' post is the "And it's good British have that! The German units/armor are so OP and scary!".

This is his first thread that actually isn't misinformed balance spam.

The USF soldiers wear gear and uniforms that were worn around the time of the BotB and beyond. The boots with gaiters the soldiers are wearing are M43 combat boots, which replaced the older combat shoes with the canvas leggings in 1943. This was part of the new combat uniform the US Army designed (the riflemen in-game wear the M1943 field jacket which was also part of this). The stuff only actually reached the troops in late 1944 though (except for the 3rd Infantry Division which was designated to test the new combat uniform in 1943, and the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions which were fully equipped with the new combat gear).

If the USF were designed around the Battle of Normandy then you'd be right.


Honestly if Relic does make aesthetic changes I hope they give riflemen some more gear, like M1928 haversacks, a canteen, maybe a first aid packet. And field grey grenadiers of course.

I saw an interesting idea in another thread to give units slight model update as they vet up. I know it's probably too much work this late into the games' development, but I think it would be cool to see small differences like unstrapped helmets and dirtier uniforms on "veteran" troops.

We don't need cosmetic changes for echelons, we need changes to stop rear echelon being shit.
