Ostheer uniform poll (to aid skinners and modelers).

[Werwolf]

I don't want nazi uniforms in the game. Don't paint the ss mark on the uniforms. NKVD is just fine, I like it.

Can't argue with that, since people have varied tastes, so it's best left for the Devs to decide.  The SS bolts won't be very visible if they were wearing greatcoats and toques anyway.

And yes I agree, please, no SS marking, I don't really like to play as the bad memory of the ruthless SS Soldiers. I want to play the ostheer as professinal army, not crazy bloodlust killers. Its a game, but please considered this. Have other marking, even a fictional one, SS and Hilter Jugend is just too disturbing for some, like me 

Yes, those animals... Sadly the allies couldn't get all of the nazis to hang them up. The uniform could work if there aren't any markings, skulls and ss markings on it.

SS was more professional than the drafted Wehrmacht.
Out of all "bloodlust killers" Stalin was the biggest and he had the biggest army in the world with more tanks than the whole world combined to support him.

The current pope was in Hilter Jugend.

Anyway I dont care how Osther soldiers will look like. Just dont make them red or yellow and Ill be happy.

Why? You a Soviphile?
The NKVD are just as bad, if not worse than SS.

I always thought military caps look cool, I want to see alot more of those appearing than in the regular game's Wehrmacht.

Don't start with the 'Who was the biggest bastard' talk please, this is not the place to do it.

I rather like how the guy on the far right looks. Generic enough to be your standard soldier but not too generic looking to just be a meatshield.

[WartyX]

That guy on the right just looks like a Panzer Elite Tankbuster.

Maybe relic got that idea from that picture.

[PanzerWilly]

Relic already research those uniform and find what fits best without creating a flare of the image of the third reich. Relic is always careful not recreating an accurate past, they depict the Germans as professional soldiers who fought in what they believe.
I rally hope the summer uniform is used in game, considered that the uniform are weared by the soldiers who won the early stage. The dark grey color theme makes them really intiminating. But the white camo with cap is also good if they are available in game.

Ok, sorry for my offensive disagreement, after looking through the forum you post I will let the dev decide. I prefer not to start another forum battle that hurt everybodies feeling.

Remember, the soldiers have to be easily viewable from the players' perspectives as well. So you can't go too dark with the feldgrau. This is why Relic designed the wehrmacht grenadiers the way they are.

Grey? i allways thought the german combat uniform was green

Yes, Bottle-Green uniforms (like the M40-Schütze pattern I'm wearing in my avatar) were also issued to all branches mid- to late-war, though they were seen more often with the standard Wehrmacht Heer... 

Myself, I'd go for Steingrau. Pretty visible, but dull enough to blend in with urban and winter environments.
