camouflage skins
plans for adding it? would appreciate such an option i know there are some skins but it depends on the map. It would be cool to give the units camo as our liking

AFAIK Uniforms are historically accurate so if the German army used field grey then that's what they are dressed in.

You can't choose to camo up a unit but if historically it had a camouflage scheme for the unit type it's probably already got camo uniforms.

You can't customise the units to your own preference in vanilla but I think you could create a custom mod if you so chose.

Maybe you could add leather jackets and prosthetics to the soldiers and decorate the tanks with teddy bears on the exterior... oh you can -> Battlefield 5. But true it is not a RTS. Hmm if there would be a game where you can spend a ton of money for skins, could paint your Tanks in gold and black -> CoH 2.

If militaries are known for one thing than it is their love for individualism. Even the word Uniform is a strong lead for very Individual form (The I in Uni stand for Individual – Ignore the Ppl trying to tell you the Uniform stands for ONE FORM).
Please leave GoH on its close to historical path. There are many WWII Fiction games out there with strong customization to choose from.
In the campaign the tanks come more and more in camo variants with later stages of the war. What is a good choice.
This is a direct google translation:
Ambush camouflage from August 19, 1944
In August 1944, the assembly shops were instructed to install complete camouflage in the factory using dark yellow RAL 7028 as the base colour and olive green 6003 and red/chocolate brown RAL 8017 applied in patches.

You see plenty of fish in the sea of camouflaged tanks :).

And don't get me wrong OP there is nothing wrong to want camouflaged tanks or customization in games I love to customize the …. out of things if it is possible. But I think in history-based games there is only a limited space for customization imagen the logistical nightmare to supply (and maintain) a 1000 man with individual equipment. Standards and uniforms are one reason that you could raise lager armies (and sustain for longer times) than bands of soldiers that took care of their own equipment.

Teddybears on tanks ,that was a good one :lunar2019laughingpig: ok if its historically accuarte i can live with it. It was more meant to be vehicles/tanks ,more eye candy than brown or grey.But the perfect thing would be bushes/leaves on vehicles there are some mods which do so and it looks awesome.
