Suggestions for USMC characters

*Get rid of the arm patch because U.S. marines do not use arm patches besides the chevrons on their uniforms

*And this one isn't trying to make it realistic but cooler but, can you somehow have some characters with their goggles down?

*Rename the USMC Special Forces MOS to either MARSOC or FR/Force Recon

*Give the Spec ops either a booney hat or a MICH helmet

So they should look like Rangers of Delta Force? Maybe when the models are US army then that could be done.

For the love of all that is holy, please use search. These have been suggested before about a thousand times, including by you in a previous thread.

The current name of the class is "MSPF," which stands for Maritime Special Purpose Force. The MSPF is an element within a Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), which includes assets from divisional and Force Recon (now Marine Special Operations Battalions), forming reconnaissance and direct-action platoons, and sometimes a SEAL Platoon that is attached to the MEU(SOC) or Expeditionary Strike Group. We included the P226 to hint that they were possibly SEALs and used the MSPF title to leave it ambiguous so the various Marine Recon and SEAL wannabes could pretend to be whichever they like and not bother us to make different models and skins for operators who perform almost the same job with almost the same equipment.

Why would the special operations forces look like SFOD-D operators from 14 years ago?

Here's a tip for everyone: not mentioning Black Hawk Down, Mogadishu or Somalia in general will go far in having any suggestion you make be taken seriously.

Needless to say, this thread is LOCKED.
