Redcoats & Backpacks & co

First point :
I don’t understand why Redcoats are not available as the default skin for British musketeers, at the moment they are only available when you send the church card from the metropolis.
It should be like the Russians with the rekruts in my opinion…

Second point, I think privates should not wear backpacks before at least industrial age, I think devs should remove it from regulars from the US, at the default and the veteran improvement

What do you think ?

They’re not available as a default skin as Redcoat is a Royal Guard upgrade. It would have to be considered a completely unique unit to have different skin and model from the get-go.
