Re: Face Paints/ Prosthetic Arms / Fancy Jackets / Mohawks? Is it BF?

@AnieeZeus Nice to hear your opinion too, thank's for sharing.

Basically nobody needs to use all the face paints, prosthetic Arms ect. stuff!
These things are part of the big opportunities they give you to customize your Soldiers/Vehicles.

But it's not needed to equip all these things, and some of them will even be Team locked as well. Depends on which fraction you will be playing.

And EA/DICE always tries to put in as much historical accuracy as possible if it comes to a shooter setting like WW2.
So it's probably all really been part of the fights during WW2. 🙂

    Were we there during the war? I think no.

    Maybe the customization is weird, but i think all these customization have existed during the war in small proportion of course. 

    This protetic arm exist in 1945:

    Mowhawks and face paints (lot of picture exist)

    Jacket have also existed and probably veteran rebel soldier wear it 🙂.

    The katana can be a trophy brought back from the pacific war..... All existed alone the quantitative is wrong.

    Customization is free and if you want a classic soldier with the proper attire you can.

    Yea, it'll be always up to you what you want to add to your Soldier.
    Nothing will be needed to equip, as i said already. 🙂

    Thank's for adding pics too. @Moskolonel

    @Moskolonel ah, yes. the Northrop prosthetics division, which is really old. That is one of their models, made during WW2 (right at the beginning of the war, actually).

    After seeing the trailer, i've looked on the web for the history of the prosthetics. And that picture came up, too. 

    Also, about the katanas...

    We may say that someone lost a bet or a game of poker🙂

    As for the face paint...Sorry, but the damn thing was widely used for camo since the inception of the bloody wars. In the WW1, soldiers would use mud to cover their faces, leaving only the eyes uncovered. Barbarian tribers would use it to terrify their opponents. And so on...

    To be honest, i am not sure if the prosthetics will be part of the customization. But i can't see no reason for the face paint not to be. 

    The US Army in WW2 was notorious for its lack of regimental discipline, with lots officers fraternizing with the troop, allowing unusual deviations from the uniforms. In exchange, the troop would perform adequately during battles, as trained and instructed. That kind of behaviour horrified the brits and not only.
