I am not racist but if anyone knows that African people fought in the war just as hard as white people so why not give them credit by making them a skin? Every single skin Ea made is of white people. And I havent seen custom black skins so far either.

They didn't. Well, not as in eg vietnam. There is one in Spearhead, but that is unrealistic. Most black soldiers were in the services of supply.

To quote citizen soldiers:

'There were no Black infantry units in ETO. There were nine 'negro' field artillery battalions, a few anti-aircraft battalions, and a half dozen tank and tank destroyer battalions. Some did well, some were average, some were poor.'

The 969th artillery fought at Bastogne.

During a manpower shortage in late 1944, black soldiers were given a chance to go into the frontline as platoons, but due to the crapness of the training depots, they could only go into combat around march 1945. The results were impressive, however.

There were no Black soldiers in Airborne or ranger units, though, but these may be some ideas:

761st Tank Battalion
969th Field Artillery Battalion
827th Tank Destroyer Battalion (Poor Records)

yea something like that..

most were in the air force....

flying P51s, but not most, the majority were in the service of supply

Still I imagine there must be black guys playing mohaa, a friend of mine does, I was gonna make a skin for him as I made a few for friends with their photos on, never got round to doing it, was gonna try turning the helmet that the ranger wears into an Afro, I actually should still do it, would be cool to run around like Snoop with an Afro.

well, i can make one if u like. a navy guy.

like in pearl harbor yea

lol, making the helmet into an afro?

but u could shoot it off then then again most of them look like wigs anyway

I wonder if you could script it so the fluffy afro caught alight easily, would see guys running around with flames on their heads like michael jackson

Thats pretty funny.
But (im not a racist) i think a black skin would be stealthy.

that ain't racist, but i can make one for ya
