Technically you could. There's no limit as to what you can put into the kit geometries, it still all gets weighted to the same 3p skeleton. The trick would be to superimpose a different player model (as part of the kit model) over the original player model so that the kit model covers the underlying player model at each time. Also the vertex weights would have to be matched to the original player model, otherwise parts of the original model might be visible during certain animations.
But covering everything is going to be pretty hard and most likely would result in strange-looking proportions for the new model.

Doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to replace or add smaller stuff like wedding bands, scarves, red cross armbands for medics, glasses, etc. in the kit geometries for a wider variety.

Could some one please make a pack of cigarettes as pickup kit.
I like to see pulsing cigarettes in the mouth of player models

Yes I could imagine someone in a tank smoking during battle  :)

That footage clearly shows battle aftermath - something you don't see in games, and why anybody would smoke in a tank during the battle? I think tank crews were rather too busy with killing enemies and trying not to get killed, rather than killing time smoking cigarettes...  ::)

Smoking after a battle more likely than during. Especially since you gotta get that fast stress relief after experiencing a series of events that could have been your last. Plus, in many occassions I've read and heard about how during the times between battles, you had very little things to do, many picked up smoking to keep themselfs occupied and to make themselfs feel at least somewhat good in those horrible conditions, waiting for that inevitable next battle.

A player model consists of two elements ingame: The actual 3d model, which gets assigned at start depending on which kit you spawn with, and the kit geometry, which are accessories like helmets, ammo pouches, holsters etc. There is one of these for each kind of kit. So if you spawn as a scout and pick up a rifle kit, you get a new helmet and other accessories, but your basic player model doesn't change. So you can't change from a Wehrmacht uniform into an old man or something like that.

But you could get an old man hat!  In all seriousness, maybe you should make it so that if you pick it up the playermodel is wearing a fieldcap rather than a helmet.  Hardly important, though.

It was not a suggestion for realism, just for some in game fun

I also still like to have the carrot nose from snowmen as medic pick up :-)

We will only add cigarettes if we get money from Marlboro.

The VK98 on the picture seems to have a magazine portruding from the wooden stock- should it have that, being a single shot rifle?

Looking at pictures of the real thing it looks the same. My guess is that they use the same stocks as for vg1 and or others, and they just put a plate there to cover the hole.
