Why german uniforms are “white”? I was reading and their uniforms were black, or dark green. battlefield V use some kind of special uniform?
The standard uniform color of the germans in Europe was “feldgrau”, which is basically a greenish gray. The thing is, thats nowhere to be found in the game, the closer you can get to a “realistic” color is mixing the “snow” top (and its darker than the basic one) and the basic bottoms, and its still just plain gray.
Something like this:
All the uniforms in game look terrible, not at all historically appropriate.
Spend some time comparing BFV player models, skins, animations, gun models to either BF1 or even BF4. It’s like romper room compared to Grad school. BFV is a joke.
A really mean joke.
It really is staggering how DICE could take source material as rich and varied as the second world war and warp it so badly in terms of uniforms, vehicles and aircraft.
It’s not that surprising when you know the true state of “DICE”, in it’s current form. EA “DICE” isn’t DICE anymore.
True, I’m too hard on DICE, the OG DICE was A1 top notch, not this twisted little gremlin thing EA has brought into being
It must be said that uniforms in the company screen doesn’t really look like they actually look in game, for some reason.
Yet it’s a pity we couldn’t have something more realistic - even without the insigna. I kinda understand they were trying to give each class a characteristic look, to avoid the characters are looking the same. But again, it could have been a lot better. And even if they wanted to make the characters look “cool” there were plenty of more realistic ways - like giving the snipers the zeltbahn. A real pity…
5 mins of looking through old pictures of Paratroopers at Arnhem or German soldiers on the eastern front and DICE would have a huge number of authentic and very cool looking uniform choices. It is blindingly evident that not even that basic undertaking was attempted, instead we get weird officers uniforms with completely broken gas masks, or allied mountaineers *wearing bright red *
Yeah, the brits uniforms are the worst offenders: most of them are late war american uniforms with english brodie helmets.
Most german uniforms are at least bearable, though they look like they were in surrounded for weeks and had to scavenge whatever they can.
British on the other hand look like bums, resistance fighters at best. Complete mess.
Goddammit dice…
Try mixing them up and colour,i know it’s not perfect but you can get some looking pretty close to the real thing.
Personally I just go for appearances that I think look good, as opposed to historically accurate. For example, my German Assault has the Fjell camo Valkyrie body and legs, and the Hades helmet - so probably not historically accurate at all, but damn does it look cool. I do tend to keep my axis Medic looking vaguely officer-ish though with the green Aristocrat outfit and the Cap headgear (although yesterday I switched the uniform to the sort of tan brown and the headgear to Baron von Zorm or whatever the level 39 ToW hat is called).
I personally favour the default gear for the British as opposed to the lvl 20 unlocks which all look terrible/American apart from the support one.
I’ve put all my characters in video game uniforms because you know, it’s a video game.
June and Helga look hot!
Even the one with union jacks all over it? Or does that fall under the ‘terrible’ category - im not a massive fan of the overall appearance either, it looks vaguely Overwatch somehow (I want to say Tracer might have had a UK flag themed appearance? Not sure).
Let’s just appreciate for a moment, we’re not running around in tanktops with Bravehart-blue facepaint like the original release trailer promised. At least they dumped the Fortnite 1940 customization they apparently planned.
Lol did you pull that fact out of your ? Germans experimented massively with DPM variations, some were unit specific. Every one in bfv was similar to what was actually fielded.
