Customization
This may already be a thing the devs are thinking about or already thought about, but why not add some customization? Nothing too big though.

For example, let players create their own character that matches what they want. If they want their character to be female or male (Yes, I read that you aren't adding females), have tattoos or no tattoos, their race, etc.
Also maybe let players choose what equipment they want. Helmets, face gear, body armour, patches, pistol holsters, gloves, type of uniform, knee pads, and boots.
BEFORE you comment "because soldiers can't choose what they wear," you're automatically wrong. We can choose to wear two types of uniforms (ACUs or Combat Uniform), different headwear (ACH, ECH, beanie, boonie, baseball cap) , our own body armour (IMBT, IBA, Chest Rig) if we want, our own boots (Literally any brand as long as their brown), our own gloves (Any brand and any camouflage colour), etc.
Using different equipment can also have advantages and disadvantages as well... to make the players really think what they want.
Players would be able to have a little more fun knowing they are using a character they pieced together and could fit their personality.

I honestly think this would be a cool idea... For when they add the stuff they've needed, fixed most bugs, and are looking for other stuff to add.
And if you got questions or a suggestion to add on to this, go ahead and comment. Would love to hear your opinions.

You do not get to pick your uniform in the USA military. Facts override feelings.
But you can pick your hats??
Or your plate carrier, boots, patches and some other stuff
At least add character customization(Facial hair, Hair in general, Face, Race, Heigh Maybe??, Sex, like almost every other game out there) I'm tire off being in the back of a truck with 7 of myself the game needs more uniqueness

remember the golden exemple in the army: the bed. even the bed is regulated and not allowed for customisation.
now on to squad:
No need for that. Sure, more appropriate uniforms would be nice, but even then, you could say logistics are often ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and appropriate uniforms for a given terrain can take time to arrive :P
but i wouldn't like at all to see squad evolving into chaos, where soldiers in a same squad will have different uniforms, helmets and what not.
about personal equipment: from my experience in the greek army, No, normally it's forbidden but usually, they wont mind if you wear something other than the official uniform only if it looks alike. (this is usually the case for boots, gloves but they must be the same type and color) so except for real-life practicality, in games you shouldnt see a difference between official boots and private boots.
nothing much to customise on other domains neither. hats are all the same, patches are official patches depending on your speciality/role (the only choise is if you want the simple flag, or the flag with your branch's saint) and facial hair is also regulated. --> beard forbiden. mustache is a choice. hairstyle should be the typical american one with no alteration/fadeouts or whatever.
Those rules would apply even for the freaking jacket. either all of the company would wear jackets, either nobody. of course, in combat this wouldn't be applied but the rule is there. this is to minimise "uniqueness" as all soldiers should be the same, not a showoff parade.
again, this is from my experience, and changes from country to country or even from branch to branch. but i hardly imagine any serious army branch would allow much "uniqueness"

I'm more talking about character creation (Uniqueness)the other stuff would be cool but not a big deal the plate carrier would be more visible maybe have a few different styles with good things about them like lighter with less packs and ammo with faster movement and drawbacks like more packs and more ammo but considerably slower.
Facial hair is currently iffy Moustaches are allowed and for troops based outside Main Camp they can have Beards people are even working on allowing beards all around.


"French foreign legion aren't your regular branch in the Military"
True but there's something to say about their experience. Multiple wars over multiple continents there experience has weight

On another thought maybe that should be a new Nation France and their Foreign Legion cause we're never going to get China😔

You're talking about two different things. Plate carriers are just a vest that goes over your head, or is velcroed around your body with pouches for one plate in the front and one in the back. Tactical Vests are what goes over the plate carriers that allow for the equipment storage. Both are all the same for each unit as the military doesn't have time or inclination to customize for each soldier, unless they are special forces etc. Beards are also not being "worked on" to be allowed in the military, not in the US at least. There's a thing called the grooming standard and each soldier is REQUIRED to maintain the grooming standard or risk being NJP, especially in the field.
Rose 2019 年 3 月 11 日 下午 9:56 
I was meaning the whole vest sorry for the misinterpretation


There is a similar policy in the US army, although since last year the army has allowed some leniency for religious groups, such as Sikhs. One soldier made headlines last year for being granted an exception to wear a beard because he claimed to worship Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

The navy has previously found that more leniency on aesthetic matters has increased its recruiting ability. In 2016, they announced a new policy allowing nearly all tattoos, including on the neck and sleeves. “We need to make sure that we’re not missing any opportunities to recruit and retain the best and the brightest because of our policies,” said Mike Stevens, a master chief petty officer, at the time.
The Army is all about recruitment....

From Austin Silva a Infantryman
Non-deployed soldiers can have non issued:

Gloves
Undergarments
Boots
Slings
Patrol packs (to a degree)
Rucksacks (to a degree)
Ear and eye protection
Deployed soldiers can have the above non issued items, plus:

Buttstocks (depends)
Magazines
Tactical vests
Weapon optics (depends)
Weapon attachments like flashlights, grips, ex.
Special forces:

Pretty much whatever they want...

Hell I know Ex Marines and Army personel who bought their own mag even tho you arnt supposed to but it's their life on the line not some desk Jockey

Wrong. I have two different uniforms to pick from.

I would say no to facial hair. Usually facial hair is for special forces or foregin militaries other than the US Army. Some US soldiers can have facial hair if they get a shaving profile.

I just don't see why..., call me a purist but there is not even a third person perspective in squad, so you would not even see your customized appearance in game.

Sure, others could - but how much time do you spend looking at other players ? in a typical squad round you have no time for that, you either look at the map or scan you surroundings or shoot or dig or try to crawl into a hole because something is shooting at you.

Imo the Devs should put their time in more useful developments..., the ONLY argument for this would be that some ppl might spent additional cash to buy such customizations and futher fund squad development...

I don't like looking like a clone when I play. I don't have to see myself in the game. This aspect is to make others look at you and tell it's you because of your character.

Weapon based accessories are generally required to be approved by command at the unit level, not the individual level. Magazines and slings are the things you wont really get your ass chewed out over. Most will turn a blind eye to it.

When it comes to clothing, you aren't allowed to change any issued camo related items. But you can indeed bring your own gloves, socks, underwear, shemagh, both ear and eye pro(as long as it meets regulations and standards). Me personally, didn't bother with the ear pro since my platoon was issued Peltor ComTacs.

Changing vest? Plate carrier approval is pretty much a no majority of the time, as when it comes to protective equipment, it has to meet military standards and requirements, and most people go the cheap rout. Only real control you have is pouch placement on your rig - Some units do have a required location for IFAK though.

Rucks/Patrol bags, you don't have much choice to be honest. It's generally previous issue or current issue that's your choice, or there's a certain small list of approved ones, that would be allowed.

It can vary by nation, and does vary by unit - But for the most part, it's a few companies or special platoons that get real relaxed rules on equipment. Modern militaries like to keep a standard amongst equipment and clothing. For not only protection reasons, but to keep things as streamlined as possible.

We can't have everyone turning up with their own stuff pretending they're in a rambo movie.

Literally nobody else cares about what your character is wearing, and you're going to be in first person the whole time and unable to see yourself. There are few things which would be a bigger waste of time and resources than cosmetic customization.

Like I said. I don't really care if I see myself or not. I should be able to choose what I want my character to looks like. Not some anorexic albino dude that has skin that glistens like the sparkly vampires from Twilight. Honestly, there's a vast amount of other games that have character customization, and you don't see your character at all. Just because you can't see your character, doesn't mean character customization shouldn't be put in at some point in time. I mean this suggestion, like most of mine, could be done when they're running out of extra stuff to put in, and/or when the game is about to release.
Gotta open your mind up, my guy, and look at people's suggestions with an open mind. Not a closed mind.

+1 I don't care if I can't see my person i could spend a hour in character customization
If indie devs can do it with limited resources I'm sure Squads Devs can

I don't expect it to happen yesterday. I hope it will happen eventually towards the end of development. It's one of those things you add at the end when you have nothing else to put in.

Read AR 670-1 all your answers are in there. I did 8 years in the army one deployment to Iraq. In those 8 years i was never allowed to be an "individual".
Time changes fast. Not sure what year you went to Iraq in, but I'm assuming early 2000s. Either way, a lot has changed since you've been in. And yes most things have to be decided by unit level. However, since people like creating teams for this game, they can decide what uniform they want their members to wear to simulate a unit deciding what soldiers can and cannot wear.
Yeah, we can't be an individual, but we can still decide what stuff we want to wear... as long as it's in regs and if the unit decides if we can or cannot wear it.

WarBee is reserve or something? Maybe that's where the difference is, cause like hell are we allowed to be individuals. Someone forgot their fleece? No one wears it.

Active and currently on deployment. The rules are extremely relaxed here. But yet again, I got buddies here as well in different places and it's pretty much the same for them.
