Kilts / Shorts. Britain.

[royal summit]

The British Army was famous for going into battle in Kilts / shorts and for the upcoming British DLC it would be fitting to include either / both in HHL!
Although the Kilt was banned from 1940 onwards, we see people dressed as Paratroopers storming Omaha beach so the issue of immersion isn’t too much of an issue.🇬🇧

I was thinking of something like this but with the dlc include a slouch hat for the australians.

[royal summit]

Yes! That’s a brilliant idea! Would love to see a the Australians in HLL! The Dev’s could make a lot of money from all the nations that fought under the British Empire including them even as separate paid cosmetics!

[tough oasis]

Look, just let me have a cosmetic pack where I can have a kilt, cap, and bagpipes. That's enough for me.

Or, go a step further, and let us have a piper for the early Brits.

A british empire cosmetic pack with turbans, slouch hats and kiwi lemon squeezers would be based and cover many of the things people would want

[gritty oasis]

Yes. Also, I want my brits with proper staches 😎

The 51st Highland Division were requested to hand their kilts in before heading to France in 1940 but it was documented that a few refused and smuggled their kilts over with them to wear in combat. I would definitely be supportive of kilts ingame.

We need to get a mustache and pipe thread rolling out.

[tawdry kelp]

as a eastern scot id love tae see the black watch colours and the royals i do hink that they could get away with multiple packs with different types of scottish unit if that would make it more likely for them to add kilts

[royal summit]

The Black Watch is a solid choice as the colours aren’t too crazy! For sure, if it was not at all or a separate paid option, I’d rather pay it.

[tawdry kelp]

Even more civilian styles where worn when smuggled so there's a fair mix of options you have the queen's own the royals the black watch etc but the green and drab ones are great some units had red trim some didn't so the one with flat greens and blues would be best fir balance

The Australians should be a seperate faction. No aboriginals and slouch-hats at market garden. They will be far better represented as their own team for maps like Tobruk, Crete, etc.

And no kilts, as you admitted yourself, they were banned in 1940. They have no place in the game outside of very early battles where highlanders were the majority of allied combatants.

@gritty oasis As someone who sports a moustache, i believe moustaches should definitely be implemented, but only for factions that didn’t have regulation against it. You should be able to have Moustaches as the British, but not for Germans or Yanks, which were clean-shaven by regulation.

No pipes though, soldiers wouldn’t be smoking pipes whilst charging at the enemy, it’s a recreational activity that the soldiers partook in the down-time between battles. Considering 99% of the time soldiers aren’t in active combat, soldiers wouldn’t feel compelled to smoke during the 1% of the time when they actually were, especially if their lives were at risk. Faffing around with a pipe wouldn't be on their list of priorities, and it's very unlikely their section NCO would allow it during combat anyway.

Yes. British forces should be ethnically more diverse by both skin and outfit as they had lots of people from colonies fighting for them in different theatres of war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhs_in_the_British_Indian_Army#/media/File:Indian_sikh_soldiers_in_Italian_campaign.jpg
