Correct me if I'm wrong but did the vehicle and infantry models change visually based on the climate they were in during the World War Wednesday playthrough? Like desert, winter, tropical, or etc?

Because if not then I would at least be willing to buy DLC that offers this because I would find it weird to see the grey German uniform or even tanks fighting in a desert or winter environment when really they should be wearing less and more, respectively, and have the corresponding camouflage (yellow, white).

Is there any potential issue when it comes to this?

Well.. it could be a DLC that we are gonna get for signing up on their site, however I am unsure. Actually I have not noticed it myself and I will try to see if I can see any on today's stream.

Hey, I like the idea, there are two issues that I can think of:

1) very high cost to duplicate/triple all unit models with winter/desert version --> doubtful ROI for Paradox.
2) implementation when and how the switch happens: instant or gradual, determined by geographical location, affected by weather or only by season...etc

I would think it could be a very grand modding project to increase variety of unit models with seasonal varieties. :)

I was always one for counters, but since Paradox chose to go with models (for immersion I suppose?) they should at least consider this. Afterall, seeing the same regular uniforms issued to every single soldier without regard to his geographical deployment would not make wonders for immersion.

This would be awesome. I think it should be gradual, affected by weather, which would be the most logical. Say there is still snow in the Leningrad-region and troops there are still in white, while the troops in the Ukraine are perhaps already in their standard uniforms.

That would be super awesome, Ideally as Germany you would also have a Western theater with standard uniforms/camo, African theater with desert uniforms/camo and Eastern theater with winter uniform/camo :)
