Is there any way to switch outfits while on a mission?
I ordered a new outfit and didn't pick it up for fear that I wouldn't be able to re-equip my desert sand outfit.
Can you swap them on the fly when in a mission? If not, wow. That needs to be patched in yesterday.

In the field, you have to order it as a supply drop, to switch back you gotta do it again.

Jeez Louise, that's gotta be changed. I can't believe nobody at KojiPro thought "Maybe the player might want to swap outfits mid-mission"

No, it's a proper design decision.
You're not travelling on vacation with a wardrobe. Changing weapons, items, clothes, buddies - there is no Star Trek teleporter so wait for the chopper to deliver those.

Sure, but MGS3 had on-the-fly switching of camo. Peace Walker didn't, but I figured that was only because of the PSP's limitations or something.

And, c'mon, in a game where a flamey man rides a flamey horse, a psychic can float through walls, and where the main character has holographic technology in 1984 that society hasn't developed to this day, having a never-ending wardrobe isn't really out there in terms of unbelievability.

Yeah, it's just the GMP cost and the wait time that makes, say, swapping to Olive Drab in a grassy patch in Afghanistan, then switching back to desert sand a few minutes later, inconvenient. Switching camo to be super duper stealthy isn't as easy as it once was.
No biggie, but that would've been really nice to have.
