They probably mirrored it after realizing the health bar would hide the grenade launcher.
I'm surprised they haven't updated those icons, a lot of them still uses old class models from beta. I get they tried to phase them out with the live 3D models but the backpack of course still uses them and they're very low quality. Is it really that hard to take pictures of up to date models?
Knowing tf2's code changing the pictures of the class models would probably destroy all of it, and then valve would give up trying to fix it because they can't understand what some random developer hotfixed 11 years ago.
These are just textures, you can (or at least could) replace them easily. I did mods for these before Steampipe was a thing, replaced them with the class icons. The mod is still somewhere on FPSBanana.
It doesn't even need one of the two coders to do this. Finally a task for the dozen artists on the TF2 team sitting on their lazy arses.
But yeah, an intern with 2 hours of SFM could do this.
I don't use the 3D models. The fact that they're constantly bobbing up and down is extremely distracting.
There are good reasons to keep it on. 3d models are super useful for scouting enemy loadout as a Spy. Also if you have killstreak weapon the effect is also visible on your 3d model.
Doesn't really matter if it also hinders me, though.
But that would require... gasp EFFORT!
