Which infantry models would you change if you could?

• everyone knows Wehrmacht Grenadiers are weird (maybe it was a ploy to sell OKW with the right field grey)
  
• agree with OP about ammo belts on MG34 team
  
• fun fact: Riflemen in winter were suppossed to have the Rear Echelon model (or so I heard) - instead was split up into 2 units
  
• personal opinion: Jägers need a new model and portrait: They are just reskinned Panzergrenadiers, and the portrait is in "Ostheer"-style
  
• About camo sniper: A western-front german sniper (looking like in saving privat ryan, so with a helmet instead of a cap) for OKW, as a doctrinal option, could be neat visually and design-wise. Maybe paradropped like in Sudden Strike 1, but I'm being crazy

Replace Wehr Grenadiers with Weapon crew models, give weapon crew models Ostruppen's back thingy, done.

Give OKW and Brits proper crew models, agreed.

And yeah as mentioned, stormtroopers/jaegers turned out to be reskinned PGs.

The 2nd picture you have of Band of Brothers is that of the 101st AIRBORNE Division, meaning those are AIRBORNE troops, not ordinary infantrymen, just noting.

The reason they never used white winter camouflage is because they don't want the models to blend into the environment and be hard to see.

I know it was Airborne from Band of Brothers but I wanted to show off the coats they had and there isnt much good pictures on the internet, I couldve used the infantry from the movie Fury but they all had assorted equipment and there wasnt any clear photos of just them



Soviet Snipers, Jaegers use white camoflauge so your argument kind of fails, it was just Relic got really lazy when it came to doing Winter versions of WFA armour its just summer with a scarf and some snow splattered tell me which WFA units have a different winter model/skin other than Volksgrenadiers and Jaegers

CoH2 when it came out used to be skinnable, here is a screenshot of reskinned Grenadiers, I dont know why Relic never reimplemented this we have some very talented modders in this community and we've also seen some nice skins for vehicles from various members so I dont know why Relic wont let us skin/model infantry to our own tastes

I think I would swap the Ostheer Artillery model and the Ostheer Grenadier model. And as someone else said, give them the rigging that Osttruppen have too. Then I'd change the colour on their shoulders from red (artillery) to white (infantry). I'd also make the color changes to Medics (royal blue) and Osttruppen (white). I would also swat Winter Osttruppen and Winter Grenadier and reskin accordingly, since civlian coats would fit Osttruppen much better.

For USF, I would give Rear Echelon a different model, perhaps Rifleman or Vehicle Crew or even Soviet Engineer, but reskinned to look either like a different soldier, or like workers. Then I would let USF Riflemen use the coat model on winter maps.

I'm betting my money on Relic wanting to make money off of em.

I think for the most part the camos are all made up (fallschirmjager/panzerfusiliers/obers...).

A reenactor once told me that the US uniforms are decent.
