Deluxe Armor Hard To Distinguish From Default

The only thing I notice that's different about the deluxe armor is that it has goggles. Everything else seems virtually the same. I've literally asked people in a game if they can tell if I'm wearing the deluxe armor or not and they reply by saying "You look like everybody else". Now as an added feature to pre-ordering the game don't you believe that it should be more distinctive? Maybe a different color, or have more visible changes done to the model. I mean goggles are cool and all but I feel like I'm not achieving that "deluxe" look.

    I like how they call it. Black, Green, and normal armour

    But normal and green are almost identical. And both green TEEHEE

    i wouldn't count it as a "feature", it was a freebie thrown your way. there are some different colored skins in the workshop right now, if you want them. not many, but I'm sure the amount will only increase with time.

    tbh, i have all three skins and the ability to switch between them has never excited me and is something i will probably never do.

    They should've called it deluxe goggles instead of deluxe armour. Problem solved

    Maybe turn the Deluxe from a greenish color into a more brown/orange/dust like coloring?

    But, but, but, models are only client side. Meaning only you get to see the awesomeness of it unless someone else has them installed on their end. I want people to see my awesome deluxe armor. Not go "Oh lol goggles lol".

    Unfortunately, the goggles do nothing.

    Wait... What do you mean you can't tell the difference? Deluxe has bare arms and red tabs all over. Normal has covered arms and yellow tabs all over it. Deluxe has a bulky chest with TSF written down it. How can you not see the difference?

    Also Deluxe has grenade clips on his belt, normal doesn't. The fact of the matter is, because everyone who pre-ordered, including steam pre-orders, has deluxe armour, I believe Deluxe is currently the most common armour, and therefore, people think it is the default :P

    There is a great deal of difference between the two...

    switching between the skins changes how others see you, not what you see.

    Would like some more clear distinction of Deluxe -vs- Normal. Red tabs and bare arms? In a fight you don't notice it that much. I didn't until I saww the still images above!

    Like I said. They're virtually the same except for the most minuscule details. If youre going to call it deluxe make it deluxey. Otherwise just call it the same dude with goggles, red tabs, bare arms that nobody can distinguish between the default models.

    Make the deluxe armor shirtless / Mesh tank top and no helmet.

    Cause we all know, real elite soldiers don't wear body armor / helmets.
