German Medic Cosmetics

Something that irks me a little is how the Americans have clear signs that they are a medic on their helmet and arm band, but not the Germans. Now I know historical accuracy is impossible, since they need to use a green cross instead of a red one because of the weird laws involving the Geneva Convention, but something similar like the German Stahlhelm for medics having many designs from what i've seen, crosses in a white circle on a normal grey paint job, full white helmet with a single large cross on the top with the branches (???) going down the center and sides.

Along with the vest with the cross on the front, of course it being green instead of red.

I think it'd bring an added sense of immersion for the game, and more options for the 3 existing medic mains like myself.

This is actually historical accurate. There were reports during World War II especially on the eastern front, that medical personnel of the Wehrmacht marked with the cross were often targeted and intentionally shot at. So german medics stopped using it.

Kinda like how it was in the Pacific Theater with the American medics

They stopped using it on the eastern front as far as I know. In any case, there are plenty of pictures of German wehrmacht medics with various versions of red cross markings. It was definitely used on the western front, at least for some time. So it definitely wouldn't be inaccurate to make it an option in game, since it was commonly used at some point of the war.
