This mod changes rank images, character images at the base, and the uniforms of the agents (basic and jackal armor) in the style of West Germany to give the game a more Cold War-era look. The jackal and basic armor unit colours at the ground combat were reskinned to reflect the colour schemes of the changed uniforms. 

At the main menu screen:
- At the difficulty screen each uniform was repainted in the following order: easy - Brigade-General, normal - Generalmajor, veteran - Generalleutnant, insane -  General

At the base:
- The uniform of the drill instructor in the personnel tab was changed to a West German paratrooper uniform with a rank of Feldwebel
- In the storage screen the character's uniform was edited to a West German paratrooper uniform with a rank of Major
- All the soldier photos were edited to have a parade paratrooper parade uniform with a red beret.
- In the roster screen the basic uniform was replaced with the BRD field uniform. 
- the jackal uniform was replaced with the BRD field uniform with a bulletproof vest and helmet
- Ranking images were changed from the original to the West German "shoulder board" variant to match the soldier uniforms

Ground combat:
Jackal and Basic armor units were recoloured from blue to green colour.
