The American "heads" look strange. They are not uniformed at all. Different headgear and uniforms. I was in the 82nd during this time. The helmets were the Kevlar "fritz" style. We also wore a maroon (red) beret. The uniforms were BDU woodland camouflage. Most of the faces would be a lot younger looking also....LOL. Maybe these are just place holders? It just looks so strange to me I thought I should say something.
Likely will pick up some squad battle stuff
I'm guessing the differentiation, though too much for historical accuracy, is meant to help visually identify unit types at a glance.
I'm not sure why they look the way they do. I went back and looked again. I couldn't find a pattern. The RTO was the only one that really made sense. Your able to identify his job. Everybody else was green beret, brown beret, steel pot, baseball cap, black beret, all in different camouflage patterns. They all have the 82nd Airborne Division patch in the top left corner. Besides that I would not recognize them as being from the 82nd.
This is a John Tiller game and they have been around making games for awhile. I guess they know what their doing and this works for their purposes.
