US and IJN Unable to Equip Unique Skins for Each Class

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:PC

AMD or Nvidia Model Number GeForce GTX 970
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32

Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game Menu
In which game menu were you when the bug occurred? Your Company
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Since the 5.2.2 hotfix - still present in 6.0
Summarize your bug Class skins are locked together in pairs for the US and IJN factions.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Select the US or IJN, and equip a unique skin for each class.
What happens when the bug occurs? For the US, character skins for assault and support are locked together, meaning they always have the same skin. For the US, the same happens to the medic and recon classes. For the IJN, medic and recon are locked together.
What should be happening instead? Each class should be able to equip a unique character skin.

Ever since the hotfix, the character skins for the US have been locked together in pairs for assault and support, and medic and recon, meaning between the four classes, you can only equip two unique skins.

The Japanese have the medic and recon classes locked together. Assault and support are still able to equip unique skins, bringing the total of equipable unique skins up to three.

The British and German factions can equip unique skins for all four classes. The Americans and Japanese used to be able to do it.

Note that I'm not talking about skins you buy - the legends - but the ones you earn, like the Crewman or the Border Guard.

  • I can confirm that this bug is still present in 6.0. It has not been fixed.

    @mulrich Not entirely sure what you mean. Who are you suing as base model in the game and adding the skin on top of?

  • @EA_AticI was not aware that the skin itself is locked to the character model as well. I have just discovered this.

    For fun, I was only using female character models - in the beginning, that attracted a lot of shittalk from others, which I found hilarious - and while the British and Germans have six female character models each, it wasn't an issue. However, the Americans and the Japanese only have three Japanese character models, and I was only using two of the American ones (since I completely missed the third one), skins would be mirrored for two classes, and just one for the Japanese, since I was using all three models there.

    Is locking the skin to the character model intentional? If so, I'm quite happy to mark this as "solved" - in so far as it's not a bug and I'm just stupid.
