hi all can someone please help me ..........
i'm playing a long camp as germans vs russians.i have started in defualt date 1941 dec.
among my force i have picked asult pioneers company which are in german field gray.but also i have picked a ss company and they are also in field gray.
i'm sure in vs 8.1 they should be in camo has this been changed or do the ss camo uniforms come onto play in latter years.

also can any one futher in ligten me to why the basic sand colour unforms of any enemy units no matter whatnation appear in my games.they only revert back to there right colour after taking KIA's

The German Infantry units are always gray. The SS units use the same graphics. AFAIK, every Infantry unit in the game uses the same graphic, only the colors change. That's why your opponents colours shift. The graphic is the same, only the colour changes.
Have you tried to delet your steel.prf file? Another thing is to restart SP:WAW and see if the colours are back to normal.

This isn't a big issue. It's been going on for years. It's just a game quirk, so deal with it. It happened with the original icons, and it's happening with the new or modded ones.

There are only 4 SHP files with infantry graphics; each one a different color. One is Field Grey, one is Olive Drab, one is Dark Brown, and the last is Desert Tan. You will see different uniforms for the same units depending on the date and place of battle, as well as the nations involved.

For instance, British vs German in 1944 meand Olive Drab for Brits, Grey for Germans. Same battle in 1942 yields Desert Tan for Brits, Grey for Germans.

Unfortunately, there is no way to implement SS camo colors.

Flashfyre, there IS a mod floating around for converting the German infantry to SS camo. The only catch is, it would apply to ALL German infantry units, as you can have only one infantry icon for each nation.

Yes, KG, what I meant was that there is no way to separate the SS infantry icons from the basic German icons.

I suppose someone could make a set with neon green, if they wanted to...or just use the old SP ones (those awful green and blue ones
