Skin upgrades for infantry Squads

Here's an Idea that may be worth pursuing in the future.
Add several clothing upgrades to infantry units. Small Buff/nerfs could be applied to a given squad for being appropriately equipped for Summer/winter /Desert Jungle/
Camo etc. The upgrade would be available to all or select squads in every faction.  The Squad blueprint library would require updating, Skins would need to be available. The game engine is easily enough modified to accomodate this change and the upgrades could be incrementally updated the same way as maps are being winterized.

Eh, it is a nice Idea for campaign perhaps but it would mess too much with Vanilla gameplay.

Actually it wouldn't have to change balance of vCoH at all. Just add a macro to T0 that globally changes skins at the begining  of a game no buff/nerfs required. IF a cost need be paid for the skin change only, Make it 10 MP. I think it would do a lot to increase interest in the game.

Its a fun novelty idea but I highly doubt such a thing shall pass.
