Idle and walking animation of Landsknechte (way of carrying their swords)

I notice that from the Gamescom video, Landsknechte’s Idle and walking animation look like this:

They carry their two-handed sword near their waist.

Well that isn’t a good way to carry a 170+cm zweihander sword. No landsknechte on renaissance engraving or painting carry 2h sword like this.

I suggest to change Landsknechte’s Idle and walking animation, to make them carry their weapon on shoulder, which is the most common posture according to historical paintings.
