HOME Umm, you dont put your stripes on in battle, so that the enemy cant take out the highest ranked guys first. And you NEVER salute anyone in battle.

The angle that deflection occurs at is so high that if you weren't wearing a big bulky helmet the round would not have hit you anyway
Banned.
I doubt that parade ground rules would apply to the battlefield anyway, why would you want to salute officers.
(We don't salute much in the RAF, it's kind of cheesy and also it accomplishes nothing)

I think that's a great idea... But I would like to take it one step further, It would be good if you could make your own uniform for multiplayer use...
But I guess that it can be used badly by people, so it better be an option for the server admin...
If it don't take too much bandwith...
as far as i know soldiers don't remove the patches of their units. so please add them at least!
and if you see soldiers on photos from iraq, some of them still have their rank insignia displayed.

That's because most of the pics seen are in secured towns
Correct.... Rank insignia is NOT worn in combat conditions. Also for unit patches, those put onto BDUs are green on black. Color versions are used on Class A's, and if you have a set of BDUs for at base (with rank insignia as well.
Saw something like this in a film sometime : There were some US Seals with even their national signs/flags covered with a patch which they could remove to show civilians their identitiy.
Dunno if such were used in the '70 tho.
