they should really make more realistic troop skins instead of pilot skins for the LVT/C-47 like helmets fatigues and garands instead of flight suites and colts :airplane: :old: semper vigilans

Well it's not like they didn't let people that had permanently stuck out arms join in combat with .45s, that wouldn't be fair to them if they stayed at home!

AH1 troops carried rifles & wore green uniforms.

Absolutely, I truly don't see why they changed it. And if Skuzzy was like any other intelligent skinner I know, he probably still has the code for those troops stashed away somewhere!

I see no way that this can have a negative impact on anyone so....

Well Skuzzy isn't much of a skinner at all.... :)

seriously what would be the point. most of the time we cant see the troops close and personal. it would be like making the leaves on the trees more realistic, you cant see them from the airplanes.

+1 If you don't care, can't see the point to this and its already been posted that's they already had the skins created then why object? Step out of the the way of those of us who do want this. It won't matter to you and won't be a hardship or waste of resources, just a matter of setting the skins back in place. :salute

I mean really, why do people make the argument of "What is the point of 'insert wish here'?"? :headscratch:
The reason that I loathe it is, that if applied ad infinitum, one can conclude that:
1.) What is the point of having realistic GV skins, as they are not often seen
2.) What is the point of noseart, since you can barely see it on planes
3.) What is the point of playing AH2, since it obviously sucks up resources
Therefore, what is the reason of attempting to dismantle a wish if you truly don't care whether it is fullfilled or not?
The answer is actually a fundamental fact of human behaviour: we always try to tell others not to do whatever it is that they want to. The same rule applies to wishes.
To finish my point; to post something on a forum requires a basic level of care about the subject, and therefore to post that one does not care about the topic at all is a contradictory statement.

The pilot in IL2, Pacific Fighters, runs and all...... I made a stupid movie back when... but it shows the potential as a Troop by adding a helmet. I would be clueless how to do any of it but it does look cool. Sorry you have to watch the who thing to see him bail after the landing. (fast forward)

that reminds me of the american pie song.
let me rephrase what, is the point of having realistic looking drunks when we need so many other things. new planes, new gv's even better looking bushes than dont flip your gv. these you see more often than the drunks. also if you post a wish, you also wanna have input on why it would not be a good idea. after all most good "wishes" are refined untill they become some awesome wish that everybody wants and must have. and then again, some other are just wishful thinking.

That is an arguement I can respect. :salute. Now to answer your question, its not a matter of presenting this wish above other priorities, no one is demanding that drunk skins be worked on right now at the expense of taking the armor plating away from bushes or new aircraft (or the high priority super-secret work on submarines.... :noid). However, given that the skins were already in place for AH1, this shouldn't take an extreme amount of work to return those skins. So, given the facts that it is requested and supported and the assumption that it will not be too much of a drain on the developers limited resources, the question becomes......why not....when they get around to it of course....no rush...... :salute

Exactly, maybe something for Christmas this year. Or perhaps Hannuka* (is that still going?). It would be something nice to have for all of those who run troops to town in an M-3 halftrack. The whole point is that we had it, and now we don't. So now, we want it back.
Please don't take this to be a wish to priortise this wish over other more important things (no more bulletproof plants, for instance). HiTech, we beseech you, just put the darn skins back!

i think its a good idea to make the troops more realistic. Since when hav you seen pilots taking the place of ground troops en masse. they should look like soldiers and carry weapons that soldiers carry.

Go to Wichita Falls, TX on a Saturday night.
I like the idea. And again, I don't think too many people post wishes here expecting theirs to jump to the head of the line. One thing I like is the mass brainstorming that happens. Like my post on the PBY for example. And hey, if the skins were made at one point, shouldn't be a problem to put em back.

Skuzzy is the network/community guy, has nothing to do with actual game development.

I think one of the issues in revamping the drunk model (to give them more fluid movements instead of the frozen stick figure pose they have now) is the lack of a character animation system that would need to be created. So, maybe it's just an issue of priorities and revamping the drunks is low on that list.

...Which, IIRC, was one of Hitech's wishes and discussed at a recent Con.

Simple fix... Just use the prop animation we have on the planes for arm and leg movement and let em run :P
(NOTE) I was just being silly here but you know some fool would take this seriously. LOL

Can I put "ACME Delivery" on the side of the Goon then?
