Marine pilots use camo on their helmets and i thought it would be nice if you guys realistically represented that in game.

You mean to tell me that real American Pilots do not wear American Flag draped helmets into a combat zone? Blasphemy!

lol, but Maverick does!

Looks good, but its seems irrelevent. However it doesn't look liek it'd take long.

You could probably find one But the camo on the helmet thing is purely a Marine Corps tradition to symbolize the pilots close relationship to the guys on the ground unlike the other services(or so they say).

Basically what im saying is that this is not just some random "to be cool" request. Its fact that this is how most if not all Marine pilots where their helmets.

yeah why not just cut and paste some camo from the uniform and put it in place of the flag texture?

Hey DEVs. Yes? No?

i would guess it will be very low priority but good idea otherwise

yeah they prob wont change it until final release since u will never see the pilot's helmet unless ur dillydaddling at the airbase.

also, i thought pilots wore jumpsuits instead of just a vest + normal camo

if they do any more skinning, id like to see a slightly better USMC desert marpat. the woodland is sweet but hte desert one doesnt look that great

I agree with Conscript, I thought they wore flight suits.

But this is probably one of those really minor, minor tweaks that would potentially be part of the final release.

Really, thats the last thing the Dev's should be thinking about right now. How bout fixes, factions, maps etc?

In the grand scheme of things this is pretty unimportant. I agree, it probably should be addressed, but I wouldn't expect the DEVs to hit it up anytime soon (unless of course they're looking for some freebie kudos from us)

I think they can't cut and paste it, because the Devs fingers are a little weak these days.

Wait, was that a dirty joke I didn't get?

Anyway, good idea, if not that high on the priority list.

This is something that a moderately good skinner could fix fairly easily, and well. Don't think this is something for the devs to do, though.

Or you could like pull a BFV and choose what your soldier looks like?

I doubt thats possible, just throwing out ideas.

OMG I´ve always thought about that!

I think it would make in-game interactions much more realistic, because you´d be able to recognize your squadmates by their appearance, just like real life. If a certain degree of customization is achieved, players would have unique and distinguishable looks.
I think it can also help when in situations you´re just too close to a friend to be able to see the name tag. Instead of looking all the way up to the sky to read it, you´d just look at their face and know who they are, saying "Altom, follow me!"

I know it is fairly important to the USMC pilots themselves that their uniform indicates that 'every Marine is a rifleman' which is a tradition in the Marines.

All the rotorwing pilots I knew wore a solid OD Green jumpsuit with their vest over it and then their camo or solid OD Green helmets. This was back before MARPAT though.

Talk to whoever will be skinning Readmenace's kits
