Title says it all, I’m wondering if there will be some sort of color customizations for our soldiers, or if we can choose to be male or female soldiers?
As for Camouflage I’d hope it isn’t needlessly extensive as it has been in previous BF games, if it is there at all. Hopefully the different fronts that should provide for the maps will come with set colors for soldiers to wear. Instead of fumbling around trying to change them.
My biggest hope, as I’ve stated numerous times, is that I’d prefer that in place of an extensive camo customization option. There be a means to switch soldiers to fit different nations that served on each side in the appropriate fronts that existed.
As for female soldiers, probably very unlikely. Many armies did not incorporate unisex service. Only things like resistance fighters or perhaps the Russians and Arabian tribes may have used female combatants.
I highly doubt that there will be lots of customization for the soldiers attire or the option to pick male or female. There were almost no nations that incorporated women into infantry units that weren’t out of complete necessity at the time. (like the poster above, it would have been found only really in certain resistance groups and Russia towards the end of the war) Also many of the military’s that existed did not have much in the way of equipment to begin with, never mind multiple camos or outfits for there infantry. It would be extremely unrealistic to have multiple colors or camos for the uniforms. there is a possibility for different pieces of equipment but than again, BF has never really put a focus on changing the color of your uniform.. I would highly doubt that do it in this game where the options would be incredibly limiting/pointless..
Well Ottoman mountain troops had winter camo and Ottoman snipers usually had camo painted their rifles as well
Theres also british reports that there was female snipers at gallipoli
There is no hard evidence of that. Most historians discredit the story. They had an entire documentary about that.
yep hence why i said “reports”
but would love to see female medics/nurses in the game though
I really hope there aren’t female soldiers. I’d be a rather annoyed if that was the case. Women were not in the military during these wars. Maybe as nurses…but not as soldiers.
Except for Russia, which recruited 2000 and which saw action against the Germans in the Kerensky offensive and made prisoners.
Other than that, I believe it was confirmed that the Bedouin woman in the trailer is a playable character in the campaign… so why not? 
10s of thousands prisoners right?
Camouflage was very early days when it comes to World War 1 - That’s not to say it didnt happen, as it did, however it was very experimental. The Dazzle Camouflage was actually invented during that time, fancy ships having big bold black and white stripes on them?

Highly unlikely. Nursing sisters and Red Cross volunteers on the Allied side were kept well away from the front lines for “protection”. Women could not even vote in some countries then. Medical care was nasty, brutal and final. Triage was the name of the game. There were no antibiotics and no blood transfusions. If want to see the brutal reality, watch the BBC series “Crimson Fields”. And don’t expect the magical “medipacks” or defibrillators of the current games. Not if the game intends to stick close to reality.
The Red Baron’s Flying Circus was deliberately brightly coloured. Camo was indeed very experimental and not used in uniforms.
Much of the troops from France as well as the Austria-Hungary wore uniforms of the colours blue and red during the First World War.
That is hardly camouflage as I am sure you would agree, but it would be great seeing them represented accurately in the game.
Some of the Highland regiments did use camouflaged “ghillie” suits for sniping. There are also camo pattern helmets from WW1.

That’s,awesome!! Would love to see dices take on there camo and color patterns for soldiers and weapons
I completely agree with all this post.
I’m ok with the camp stuff as long as there is an option for auto select. Meaning i will come setup with the default camo for that map. The rest of you can have your fun with the exotic camo. And I can stick with my military issued.
Win win
BEing abot to auto-select a map terrain type related camo would also be a nice addition, if they continue to use the current camo “customizaiton” that there is.
Yes, Russia recruited 2000 but only about 250 actual fought on the front line.
