Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section. Good job!

This death anim along with the Soviet Rifleman look very exaggerated, as if a tank shot em and they were flung back. Maybe make them just fall backwards instead of flying. Something similar to the WW1 Rifleman/WW2 SMG death anim.

Wouldn't the austro hungarian rifleman uniform look better if, for example, changing the colour of the leg wraps?

One of them has brown wraps instead of blue/grey.
Good work, though.
Edit: Why was the stahlhelm texture changed? The old one looked better, in my opinion

- Opted with the blue wraps because they were more common
- Stahlhelm texture took up a lot of space and didn't pass the Footman Test :(
- Stahlhelm can now be edited for desert or snow environments, or use the white variant for medical personnel
What happened to the STG 44 SS Officer variant?

*Edit* NVM found him he just didn't have an image

Did the leather pickelhaube texture really had to be changed? :' (
The new steel one still looks good, but i feel that the leather one was more like WWI, since Infantry steel pickelhauben were made in 1915, before that all Infantry pickehauben were leather

Shouldn't the new pouches' texture be a bit more red-ish, to fit with the uniform straps?

Although i like the new rifleman animations more, some variants, including the WWI and the Austrian riflemen have their rifle stock clip a bit with the arm o.o

Not what I meant I mean that they look essentially the same
Knight's Cross Holder guy is just elite cadre officer and he's probably fictional as an unit. HerrDave probably based him on Company of Heroes unit.
To help you know what I mean - the SS had their own riflemen, assault infantry, tanks etc. with different uniforms, ranks and insignia.

The SS bundle isn't so necessary for Hiveworkshop community objectively I think. I've just mentioned it would be cool though :D
