panzer uniform update

Description of the idea: Re-do/fix the Panzer models or get an already existent model from the Workshop and edit them.

Why should this be added?: Unfortunately, as of writing this suggestion, the Panzer models are just....horrendous. They only have one face model, the shirt and tie clip through the rest of the uniform sometimes, the anims for the model are broken (for example, crossing your arms makes your arms look broken), the gasmask clips through all headgear options and they have very barebones features, missing a lot of bodygroups that the infantry have, especially the CO models (for example, goggles, map case, mp40 pouches, holster doesnt work with the coat, rank epaulettes on the coat). It feels as if the models were rushed or just very very outdated and if they were updated or simply just had some bodygroups added, they would be more popular as most players state that the gasmask or the uniform itself is ugly and are turned away from the sub-faction because of this, limiting their potential even further besides the fact that they don't have access to any real armed vehicles besides the 222 armored car which doesn't have a working turret (Which is understandable, an armed vehicle in any faction would make it automatically OP). If this were a dead faction, then it would not make sense to update the models, however they were fairly active in the past, sometimes even outnumbering the rest of the Heer and make comebacks from time to time.

What negatives could this have?: Updating or remaking the models would presumably cost the server both time and money, as the modeler would be busy with the models and would need to be paid, which is why I suggested simply adding other existing bodygroups or taking some models from the workshop and editing them to cut down on the time and costs needed for this.

Additional information: As I've led the Panzers before, I have experience with this firsthand and sometimes it is hard to get recruits besides new players who are then disappointed by both the lack of armed vehicles (as I said, understandable) and the broken models. Furthermore, there are a lot of models on the workshop for the Panzers.
On the far left, are the panzer models we use while the two on the right are models from the same addon: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1992376846 (unfortunately, its not just the panzer models theres also a bunch of infantry and medic models in the addon) There are also some individual addons for panzer enlisted, nco and cos: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422576745 , https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422574722 , https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422578158

Although I don't believe an entire new setlist of models need to be added, only a hotfix, some of these models do look interesting. Looking specifically at the medic and all white uniforms. These particularly can lead to an enhanced medical RP. However to stay on topic though, I've replied to people who have suggested this before but even in the current state the models aren't that big of an issue even though a fix would be nice. I just don't see the real reason to add more content to the server for something like this. I stay NEUTRAL on this topic for now because it does really go both ways.

Just to add on I also feel another reason its not really focused is because panzers have always been the labeled minge faction. Every time they outnumber it is typically because it is a bunch of people just fucking around and not actually roleplaying.
