Amedeo Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Give the Bersaglieri the drooping plume of feathers on their hats/helmets. And give the eagle's feathers to the Alpini too! I know that this could only seem an ultra-groggy request of no importance. But be warned that, no matter how accurate your uniforms mod will be, without this distinctive features it would be a useless effort. After all, British helments were redesigned just because the old CMBO "pattern" didn't feel right.

Yes, the only dumber thing to do would have been to use them to fight in the steppe... go figure what Mussolini did Anyway, I was speaking with Italy/Greece in mind.

JonS Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Poor guy - his helmet is way too big, and his sleeves are too long Bloody Q blokes, they can never get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I very much doubt that we'll have those helmet feathers. The trouble is that unless we have a 3d model for the feathers they'll just look totally stupid stuck on the side of the helmet as a texture, and I can't see BFC doing 3D helmet feathers.

Just proves that no matter which army you're in, there are only two sizes for uniforms - too bloody big or too bloody small! "Hey, you can't have that! Someone else might want it!"

You could have them as doodads, though. Now there's an idea: you could also have men have 3d bushy beards that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Not to sound disrespectful but that helmet looks as if a dead crow was tucked to one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I was thinking more along the lines of one of those ornamental roosters. Specifically, one that has been hit by a car. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbtler Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Heh,yeah they really do look weird, but I like them. Here's the other kind of "helmet" used before WW2. Taken from: http://www.bersaglieri.net I just hope we can get them in CMAK, they could make them 2d, like bushes are already in CMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Bluebottle Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 On a companion note, one hopes we will not see Australian diggers portrayed in CMAK with Hat, Khaki, Fur-Felt AKA the "Slouch Hat", which was not usually worn into battle. If it was, it definitly wasn't worn with the brim turned up, but rather down and with rather a battered brim, rolled usually downwards to shade the eyes. I wonder though, any possibility of kilts and Tam O'Shanters for the 51st Highland Division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
