I'd estimate that each unit skin in the game has about 10 different pictures to represent it (like: driving towards viewer, driving away, driving sideways, driving 45 degree angles, starting the move, etc etc etc) so any new individual unit skin takes a lot of work. Since there are four different national tech skins, times 20 different units, times five different levels for each unit, this would require creating 10x4x20x5 = 4,000 new pictures. All of those would have to be consistent with eachother, be tested in all different kinds of movement, etc etc. So it's a nice suggestion, but a huge amount of work!
Add Skins: Research Upgrades
Suggestion for improvement: have custom skins that change the look of units after upgrades have occurred. For example, a KV tank could look like a KV tank instead of looking like an IS tank (Which is actually not what it becomes until a much higher level of research). This problem extends across all units.

Yes, that's true. But making this game in the first place was a lot of work I'm sure, but that did not seem to stop them from doing it. At any rate, just a suggestion.
i have an idea, player uploaded skins, they could be saved and when you build a unit, it would ask you what skin you want to use, but i know what you are going to say, "but that would make moderating much more difficult", just give a warning that they would be permanently banned if there skin is inappropriate before they upload
