The new Mobile Assault Regiment looks a bit blurry compared to the old one, is that intended?
live new

It was intended to make it less sharp, but not drastically. Do you think it was to much?

can you please remove the stupid monocle?
hes wearing a camouflaged field uniform + combat helmet
the monocle aint got no place there

same with the guys wearing sunglasses

What about giving the strategic reserves one a helmet? I think the helmet from jaeger infantry might look cool but any will work really

We definetly not changing faces, and trying to avoid changing type the hats. That's why changing from officer hat to helmet is not the best option here.

I absolutely love these. I have one suggestion though. Maybe give all the deticated osttruppen commanders (ostruppen, defensive commander) the white winter smock like mobile defense? It would give them a unified theme.

Defensive doctrine already has poncho as pak 43 commander, but we are thinking to give some asset to highlight the ostruppen doctrines, thank you for the feedback!

Awesome work!

Minor feedback, this icon has very dark eyes.

This one for example has better contrast while having a similar helmet.

You are right, will update it later!

Great work as always.

Imo:

luft hat a bit too glossy.
Luftwaffen-Splittertarnmuster poncho again a bit too glossy and green in "raindrops pattern" a touch too bright, the color was rather dull in real life.

The black stripe in yager infatry a bit too strong too maybe grey down a bit.

Agreed on luft commanders, we will continue the work on them and their uniquness in possible ways. Can't say anything about grens coat colors, but desaturation should be the right solution here.

The Ostheer portraits look great, though I think the Tiger Ace and Luftwaffe commanders really need some distinct features to tell them apart as they look almost identical (especially in the small versions). I'd say keep the uniform and collar markings but give them different headwear.

The second Luftwaffe commander could have a Luftwaffe Field Cap (blue field cap) and the Strategic Reserves commander could have a Stahlhelm or something.

Well, we are folowing the restrictions to save some chances to get these portraits in the game. They incluse:
1. Not touching the face
2. Not touching the hat
3. Not touching the unique commanders (except the location on the portrait and very-very small adjustments)
4. Saving the original concept of commanders if it's possible.
We allowed ourself to replace hat on the same type (like helmet on helmet or cap on cap) with better quality, but not changing the type of the hat (except soviet armored assault). If we have more imformation about what we could or not to change - it will be very helpful and open new areas for work.

Personally i don't mind to make these changes.

Secondly, I think the Tiger commanders could get a better represented distinct armor theme.

I think this uniform of one of the Infantry / Support commanders:

is actually the German tank crew uniform (see below) rather than the black coat and I think it would suit the Tiger commanders a lot better.

Indeed it is, it has it due to Command Panzer IV and smoke, like other commanders with Command Panzer IV. He is support commander and wasn't added to the previous cathegories because he doesn't have Tiger/Pak 43 or Elefant.

Our choice of the assets was also based on the idea, that all commanders with ability should have it. Like all commanders with panzer iv have neck microphone, all commanders with officer/jaeger officer squad have cross on the shirt and etc. We still have some small mistkaes to fix.

My suggestion would be to use this uniform for all the Tiger commanders and switch the black coat to the infantry/support commander. Then switch the Panzer headphones from the Elefant commanders to two of the Tiger commanders because it'd suit the armor theme better, and switch the two Stahlhelm ones to black field caps (used by tank crews).

Like this:


And then obviously figure out something new for the Elefant commanders.

Probably we will try to apply this somehow, but i need to discuss it with Kasarov before making any changes. Thank you for your feedback!

Where is the portrait for the Soviet Combined Arms Army commander? I don't see it among the Guards commanders.

He is on the very right, right after Guard Motor Coordination Tactics.

It looks great, but is this actually going to be applied in a patch or is it going to be a mod?

I don't know. But we tried to follow all restrictions in editing, which were menthioned in the past. That's the reason, why all commanders saved their faces and hats(expect Armored Assault commander with tank helmet).

We will be happy, if Relic and balance team decide to bring them to the game. From our side, we do our best to make portraits as good as possible.

But... why though? Is there a good reason for this change, and will it see the doctrine picked more?

I think it won't change anything, why spend time implementing it?

At least, separate unit will have separate veterancy, which better reflect with it's performance.
