WW2 American Pilot Skins Remodel

[Nostalgistic 312]

Hello,

 

Years ago, WW2 German, Russian, British, and Japanese pilots received their skin overhaul, and the American pilots have yet to get their overhaul. It was way overdue. Therefore, I suggest improving the American pilot models to reflect the accuracy of real-life pilots from World War II.

 

Currently, the pilot from any prop aircraft (excludes P-51C and bombers) looks like this:

I suggest updating the old pilot model almost exactly like the pilot model from the P-51C. Below is for reference:

The flight suit and equipment of P-51C’s pilot are accurate, but it is missing the oxygen mask. Below is what pilots were wearing in real life:

The updated pilot model should be wearing a dark leather jacket and brown trousers instead of an inaccurate greenish outfit. Also, the model should be able to wear an oxygen mask on the mouth.

 

That’s a standard flight suit for pilots who served in the US Army Air Corps, and the pilots who served in the US Navy are a different case.

 

Currently, the pilot model in-game looks like this while flying in naval fighters:

Below is what pilots in the US Navy were wearing in real life:

The updated pilot model for the US Navy should be wearing a khaki overall flight suit with a bright gold life preserver along with an oxygen mask instead of an inaccurate greenish outfit.

 

Finally, I want to talk about the bomber crew models. Below is what they look like in-game:

It appears they are wearing an inaccurate flight suit. Here are some photos of the real-life bomber crew during WW2.

The bomber gunners wore like this:

The updated bomber pilot and co-pilot should be wearing brown overalls with a leather jacket, a bright gold life preserver, and an oxygen mask where in-game is missing. The bomber gunners should be wearing a bright gold life preserver, flak armor vest, and oxygen mask.

 

Conclusion

The pilots of the US Army Air Corps and US Navy fighters, including the pilots and gunners of bombers, should receive their updates to be aesthetically accurate according to the suggestion above.

The late WW2 US pilot model can have early hard helmets like these:

I would love to see a new us ww2 pilot. The old one is really dated. All other nations, as far as I know, have new pilots for quite some time now.

I direct suggestions

I attach an image of the CDK as a reference
As you can see, the quality of the current US Navy pilot models is very poor.
As far as I know, he's been around since Bird of Steel in 2011...

As another reference, the new US Army pilot model currently only uses black skin, but the same type of white skin texture exists in-game.
It's a mystery why Gaijin doesn't use this elsewhere.
