Insignia? Rank Regiment etc..

[para]

Will the models show rank insignia? will they show which regiment they hail from insignia wise

cheers

Well, that'd require an extra infantry model for every regiment that historically wore them during the Normandy fighting plus lots of complicated (and ridiculous!) coding - I'm pretty sure that won't be happening.

Wouldn't it be sufficient with just textures, why a new model?

I've read that tanks are getting multiple decals somewhere down the road in a later module, so who knows, maybe? Though it would probably need a lot more coding than it deserves, like a whole new interface and menues to pick the regiment you'd want.

A simple mod that changes the textures to the right regiment is a viable solution I think.

para we have not even got the uniforms down pat.

I don't think that level of detail is coming soon.

That extra detail comes in a unit / regiment add-on editor available here

For those that know how..are you one of those that know how?

It certainly is possible to have different texture sets for historical formations, but those would show up on EVERY soldier using the same texture in the game - everyhting else would indeed require additional coding.

Not that it'd make that much of a difference since you won't be able to recognize unit insignia unless completely zoomed in of course...

P.S.: I for one am one of those that know how to do it. But sthings like adding distinctive unit insignia is pretty simple and can be done by about anyone.
