Well, seeing as I really hate downloading mods and usually ending up removing them after 10 minutes of playing, I'd rather get popular or majority positive reviews before I redownload NTW3.

The Heer (Army) did use camo, quite a bit, but nowhere near the amount used by the SS. As Deo said though, a lot of depot repairs and field repairs were used with tattered or "found" pieces of SS camo patterns. I saw this really funny looking photo my friend had in a book about German camo of WWII, and the guy had a Sumpftarn Heer coverall set with patches of SS Planentarn over his forearm area and his knees. Lots of camo field repairs were used with other types of camo, and done by the Luftwaffe, Heer, and SS. Some SS smock were also made in parts and would have a torso of Palmentarn with maybe Planentarn arms or skirt, just for an example.

One of my favorite deaths was at this past Battle of the Bulge reenactment. A kamerad and I took out an American halftrack and used it for cover. I decided to run out from cover in a "glorious uhleet super smersh suicide charge" and saw four GI reenactors aiming at me and shooting me... I fumbled my body around like I got shot by all of them, released my gun from my hand as I flew bacwards and smashed hard on my back into a snowy ditch and laid there in blizzard conditions getting covered by new snow falling from the heavens like crazy for a solid 15 minutes. Then was dragged by two other kameraden back to a "recycle" point and then the scenario reset and us Germans had to move out.

Here's a pic from the event. I'm in the dead middle in the back with the camo smock wearing an a-frame. I'm standing by the ditch I fell into.

I've been heavily considering redownloading NTW3... Is it really worth it? I stopped at 4.0 because of the bugs and shit.

I have an original one, but it's not in a usable condition... Plus, this is one of those items I would rather have repro than original, tbh...

I'm trying to find the best place to get a repro German tornister, preferably a M39 model... Anyone know who carries the best and is not stupidly expensive?

I was thinking about if will the cadets regiment have a diferent stature than the rest? Like that young musician.

Im talking about this:

Wouldn't really make too much sense... The cadets were fully grown young adults anywhere from 16-20 years old. Most of them had reached average "adult" height.
