I appreciate this game's throwback to BF with US and RU, don't get me wrong. In the grand scheme of things it's just a flag on the uniform and I think the undershirt changes.
I just feel like it's a missed opportunity when you "lock" factions like this. I'd actually like to see them removed. Make the teams nondescript. Friendlies vs. Opfor or something. Let us have a little custom emblem instead of a flag, maybe.

While I like the thought of setting custom emblems: I just see the issue that people will make it waaaay too political or historically loaded. The devs can't control that and will make the game look pretty damn bad.

Yeah someone will defo put that one symbol from ww2

Not just someone, a LOT of people who think it's somehow funny? Like, not even in an offended way, I just genuinely don't see how people go "haha lol" at a flag that is by now almost 80 years old.

I didn't realize he meant custom per player rather than have the devs make custom symbols per team
if per player, then absolutely it will be abused

I mean, maybe that is what OP meant. I just assumed individuality since they said "we".
other than that, BLUFOR vs OPFOR with dev-made icons sounds fine enough!
But individuality absolutely fcking not, that is asking for a fcking lawsuit

Other games have had custom icons, right? If it's a problem, maybe preset shapes or something we can mash together. Otherwise, yeah, game emblems are fine. Hell, sell some in a supporter pack and I'd buy it.

Even with preset shapes will will get creative.
