The visual/apparence/skin for the jinetes dragoon is the same than the visual for the veteran dragoon.

100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

Launch a new skirmish game with the portuguese
Train a couple of dragoons at age 3
Reach industrial age and upgrade to jinetes

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was supposed to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}

Dragoon visual/apparence/skin should be the industrial age one.

Thank you for the report! I’ve passed this along to the team to see if changes can/should be made to the unit!

I noticed too yesterday that guard dragoons look same like veteran dragoons when I upgraded during campaign game.

I noticed that jinetes’ shipments from Japanese consulate have correct appearance. So the problem seems to occur while playing just with the Portugueses.

This bug still occurs . Any news about tracking?? By the way, the Japanese Jinete appearance is correct.

I think that Royal Guard German and French skimirshers have an unique skin

Update 02/01/2021

I noticed this bug also apply to dragoon guard (e.g. french guard dragoon). However for a reason unknown, french imperial dragoon receive the correct apparence.

This happens to quite a few units but has not attracted much attention. Several royal guard upgrades have unchanged or slightly different models (barely noticeable coloring differences, etc. from the regular one). I wonder if this is a mistake, or the remain of some unfinished work.

Meanwhile, some units have four models, like Crossbowmen and Caroleans. I feel like the devs intended to do this to several units but did not finish.

ArrivedLeader22 · February 3, 2021, 2:30am

Devs please mark this. It has been there for so long.

Inocybe2755 · February 4, 2021, 2:31am

I think we should make a new tread in the bug report section to remind this bug

gabryidle · February 6, 2021, 10:57pm

This really drives me mad. The correct model already exists in the game as shown in this thread so devs don’t have to create it, they just have to copy and paste, I guess. Jeez!

Inocybe2755 · February 11, 2021, 7:38pm

The funnier, is that this problem used to exist for the ruyter, and it was fixed in the definitive edition.

gabryidle · March 17, 2021, 7:15am

Please, track this one. Why the visual appearance is so underrated?

gabryidle · April 13, 2021, 9:07pm

Another update, bug still unsolved. It’s a joke?

ArrivedLeader22 · April 25, 2021, 5:02pm

Anyone tracking this?

DirefulLily9407 · April 26, 2021, 11:44am

I can confirm this is being tracked.

ArrivedLeader22 · April 26, 2021, 2:29pm

Great to hear that. Thanks!
Just to mention this also applies to quite a few other units.

Noticed that the French and German Guard upgraded skirmishers look different than other skirmishers. They now have green pants and player colored coat. compared to the Spanish and Dutch skirmishers that look the same as they used to. Is this intentional? Dutch [dutch skirms] French [french skirms] Noticed the portugese dragoons have a player colored plume on their helmets instead of the regular white ones. Are there any other unique guards units like this? Somehow this seems like a bug.

In the original game guard/imperial upgrades share the same unit appearance (imperial upgrade does not change it). Thus age II units have 3 models and later units have 2 models, generally. In DE, however, there seem to be a slight difference in color schemes between guard and imperial upgrade, but barely noticeable unless zoomed in (I don’t have a screenshot at hand). I think this is intentional, but why not make it more obvious?

I appreciate you took the time to post here to confirm that this bug is being tracked. I know there are probably more urgent bug to fix in the game (like units getting stucked in trading post), but this bug has been here since the release of the definitive edition. Guard dragoon used to be magnificient looking napoleonic-era units, and they looked very good with guard cassadores, another unit with a napoleonic look. I will wait eagerly for this bug to be fixed !

gabryidle · May 15, 2021, 8:09pm

The bug is still unsolved in the last update (26865).

gabryidle · June 2, 2021, 1:28pm

What about this bug? Does anyone has some good news about it?
