Looks cool, but with reality it has nothing to do.

I can't find WW2 ami soldiers in uniforms from your skinpack



And normandy paratrooper



I know that u are inspired in Iraqi war, but some people are sensitive about reality.

Use the external skinpack for EIR? Some of the best skins for COH atm.
Just put the .sga in your archives folder. (like you do for maps)

Pacific Theater Marine camouflage. was never brought into European theater because of certain friendly fire incidents, it was deemed to look to similar to SS camouflage patterns and was not used. only units that received this where marines in the pacific theater and some mechanized platoons.

You can make your personal skinpack, if you know how. (Corsix)
Just package all the skins you want into a 'externalskinpack.sga' and it'll work ingame for you.

these aren't modern at all, these are historically accurate marine WWII PACIFIC THEATER camouflage patterns can you read?

hear is some uniforms from a WWII museum that feature the camouflage patters

Why would you use Pacific theater skins for your units in the Western European Theater?

Nice job Apollo, We have to say that, Some may use it.
Yes, they where used, but more was made than used.

I agree what Unkown are saying,
But you and relic may have something commen,

Relic: They had blue uniforms right?
you: They had like, cammo and shit, right?

Reality and truth, allways fits.

from my research i found most marines had bluish gray or olive drab uniforms, with only camouflaged helmets. i tried this at first but i received feedback saying they looked to much like volks and abandoned the idea. i wish i could set it so they will use  camo,gray,olive drab uniforms randomly but i would haft to edit the unit code for that. and i am simply not going to attempt that with 4 different units.


PS: Attatched is SGA file with skins.

Hey Apollo, hows the AB skins coming? (Although the USMC doesn't have a AB units  Grin)


Regarding the color of the Uniform:

You have the color right, you have to understand when a uniform is issued to a Marine its fresh and vivid in color. After wash/wear the cammies get lighter, the reason why every picture you have research is different in shade/color.

What I suggest is you just lighten the uniforms and make sure they are not that dark in-game.

Ok i will do that in my next release but i am currently working on another project at the moment (A fictional version of a SS Storm Trooper Based off propaganda posters). (http://forums.europeinruins.com/index.php?topic=7377.0) and it is requiring allot of attention...

i am also working on a Heer Skin Pack (German army) though i may scrap this project as it is producing less than desirable results. (See attached image)
