Pickelhaube

[Rino88]

Could anyone post a screenshot or a render of the new sprite? I read about it in the change-log and I am curious, but I can't find it anywhere and I don't plan on playing Germany for a while.

Problem being it ain't working right now, at least for me. There is already a bug post in the forums, but i can give you a picture of the disected model:

It doesn't work for now.

Here is a picture of it, though.

Honestly, it looks a bit weird...

 

[Mr_Dimento]

I think it looks good

Maybe it's just being unused to it. The helmet looks awesome, I got to give them that, but the uniform looks a bit odd in contrast. Maybe it needs a good cleaning to be as bright as the polished Pickelhaube.


EDIT: now that I look at it again, it seems fine.

That looks incredibly dumb, not gonna lie.

Just my opinion but I think he needs a backpack.

The Greek infantry model is my favorite out of the new ones for precisely this reason.

Agreed. Backpack doesn't sound bad, but as far as I know, German didn't really have those.

Wouldn't hurt giving it a backpack, the inclusion of a Pickelhaube is plenty anachronistic as it is anyway even in the event of the Nazis being overthrown.

Even the Germany in the first world war started phasing those out in favour of various models of the Stahlhelm, as far infantry equipment for non-ceremonial purposes goes.

Pickelhaube makes sense to keep as a part of ceremonial uniform, like British Royal guards using historical 19 century uniform, but nobody in their right mind would be asking for British army under monarchists to use red uniforms.

Stallhelm was brought in ww1, because ww1 infantry already required steel helmet, and that need didn`t go away. In fact, German late-WW1 uniform looked pretty similar to ww2, so no need to change that, at all.

I get it's probably flavor but that really makes no sense.

Is it togglable? That would be a suitable solution.

Like all models it's toggable, i think you have to switch to it in the first place.

It would be absolutely sick though if british units got red uniforms though

There's a French Napoleonic reskin on the workshop which looks pretty cool

Ooh funky!

So does anyone know if it's not working correctly, if Paradox knows about it? How to activate them?

Perfect for artillery practice
