rocketman Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Now that FI is up to 4.0 engine I have started playing it again after a long period of mostly FB. It struck me how much more detailed the stock uniforms are in FB when I saw the FI ones again. I guess (no expert) that uniform mods can only be so good as the base textures are. So my idea is what if BFC created a uniform pack for FI to make the game look even better. I would sure pay for one. Any interest out there? What would a fair price be? 10 bucks would definitely be in my price range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 There are usually a lot of good uniform mods for all the titles. Check Repository and CMMODS etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 FI has the least community content of all the WWII titles and uniform mods are not plentiful. I usually always take a look at new mods and decide if I think they are an improvement or not. Sure, there are some really good ones, like Aris' Germans and a couple of HG and FJ mods. But my point was (and I love to be proven wrong by some talented modders) that if the base texture provided by BFC is not of the same quality as for the most recent titles, then the mod can only improve so much. No one has done mods completely from scratch, right? And if BFC would produce enhanced uniform base textures then mods can improve even more. But the lack of mods for FB is a testament to the higher quality of the base textures. Not the same need for mods I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougPhresh Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I really hope the HG gets oakleaf smocks and white collar tabs in the new update. They're wearing Field Division uniforms right now in Italy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if germans will receive M44 uniform now that game will expand the timeframe to end of war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, in FI I am using Aris brilliant uniform mod for the Germans, but there is nothing comparable for the other nationalities. Which looks somewhat awkward on the screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't know if I imagine things but there seem to be more stretched textures in the uniforms in FI than in FB, no matter if modded or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_McLeod Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I agree with you, id love to see a reskin for the CMFI uniforms. Seeing the only ww2 titles i have are CMFB and CMFI the Skins in FB are a ton better than the ones in FI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modded the Luftwaffe uniforms to have white piping, cuff titles and collar tabs and it always looks off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to mod shoulder patches onto uniforms (FB) and noted that they tend to stretch and it seems to be due to the 3D-model that the uniform texture/skin is wrapped around. Maybe the 3D-model in FI are less detailed than in FB, causing stretching to be more pronounced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glubokii Boy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If we ask nicely maybe BFC could include updated uniforms for the previous formations in the release of the next (last) module for CMFI... That would be a nice supprise ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a nice supprise ! Great idea!, but I'm sure that BF will update the uniforms to the standard quality which is visible in FB. After update to 4.0 engine, you can see in quick battle much more options that before for uniforms (but not selectable yet). My two cents that in 'Rome to Victory' we'll can select uniforms tropical, camo or 'continental', for the same troops types and, for sure, with higher quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Veins uniform mods for CMFI are quite good, though you need to PM him for a download link as he has not posted them to CMMODSIII. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Bennett Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Are we seeing too much tropical uniforms in CMFI. Should they be wearing more field grey for Army and maybe some more splinter smocks for falschirm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many tropical uniforms, or mixed parts of them, were used together with feldgrau pieces by germans on Sicily and South Italy, you can see it in contemporary pictures. Sure that when the front will move to the north in next module, the uniforms will be more and more similar to the France and Eastern Front uniforms. While it is true that there are too many tropical boots for my liking. This shoes were more common in North Afrika than in Italy, where was more frequently to use ankle boots (with or whitout gaiters). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
