Why are British Soldiers in German Planes?

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One X
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Airborne
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug When you're the German troops dropping into the combat zone, you go through the sequence of the soldier helping you up and seeing the other soldiers sitting along the plane benches. These soldiers are all British soldier models rather than German. (the soldiers are the same models regardless of what team is attacking)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play airborne or a grand operation with an air drop
What happens when the bug occurs? The soldier models are all british and it just looks and feels silly and like someone cut corners.
What should be happening instead? They should be German soldiers sending you out of the plane. There's even a German cross on the wing of the plane, so why are the soldiers british?

I'm surprised this is even a thing. It's obviously not really a bug but more like a lazy oversight or something. The dude is wearing a British soldier red beret for goodness sake. Can you not just put another character model on them?

  •  Same. I haven't noticed it until later because I don't usually play grand operations. Maybe Dice didn't get to finish

  • This was spoken about by developers on the Reddit pages and is hopefully going to be addressed in the update later today

    We have a choice: Correct German JU-52 German plane for jumping OR new content. I'll let you decide.

    I'm no developer but I imagine it's not too difficult to switch out character models. It wouldn't need to be reanimated or anything if I'm not mistaken. 

  • @LexenYou can change the soldiers to German fine (still likely with a lot of work) but the plane itself is actually an allied model. So for 100% perfect accuracy they would actually need to design an entirely new plane to jump out of as well.

    I'm pretty sure they literally can just switch out the character models. They do this all the time in games. That's basically how you can select different skins for your own characters. 

    As for the plane, you're right, I could see that taking time if they haven't developed it. 

    What I don't understand is why they didn't do this in the first place knowing they were going to have this sequence.
