Hi all. I've played the demo of MoW yesterday night and, yes, was an awesome night! :realbig:
Game is cool as hell! I've played the MP beta but, I've see a lot of improvements! :)
I'm so happy, because I will buy MoW.

But, I've see a little mistake in the fallschirmjager camo of the uniforms (knochensack) weared by the germans.
Take a look:
They have knochensack in splintertarn camo...

Well...

But the right camo in battle of Crete was green, I think named "Graugrün":

The camo they made didn't even exist at all. It looks a _bit_ like Splinter but it isn't. Imo the Graugrün and Splinter B and maybe even a tan and water one for late war FJ would be a much better choice. Imo devs ought to do stuff like that themselves instead of making it so the modders have to correct their authenticity errors...

8O theres two of them! run for your lives we are doooommm ..and there are still another 4 months to analise the beta.
Somebody feed him 3Dmax/ photoshop and a GemEditor we might just squeeze some new assets from his restless fingers

:realbig: jk guys I actually appreciate this details specially when presented this way, personally and gamewise it does not bother me a bit. And Aesthetically they cannot compete with does ANZAC fellows in cowboy hats and shorts!...humm now this sounds a bit *** :confused:

You´d probably be ridiculed for wearing it, cause after all, it isnt just a jacket but it also comes with a pair of unremovable "shorts"... :)

Maybe it wouldn't look that ridiculous if he was to combine it with a parachute (a correct helmet would help too) :realbig:

Not bad :) Make it a bit lighter perhaps, more matching the surroundings and add more dirt, parachute landings and subsequent combat tends to get messy :)

It nice but as HrcAk47 said it needs to be a bit lighter. Those look like parade uniforms they're so clean and new looking. Adding a touch of light grey to the green might help lighten it up a just bit and give it that worn, sun bleached look.

I agree that making it lighter and more messy and dirty would be a great idea. Other than that, great job!
If you are interested in making more FJ skins for later periods of the war, I'd be glad to send you some reference images I have which are pretty good.
