CoH2 Western Front skins plea
Posts: 951
This is a shout-out to Relic about skins for Western Front armies.
With the Germans you can of course knock yourself out. The Wehrmacht and SS had a flying-circus style of camouflage diversity.
But the Americans...
Their vehicle camo was very limited and usually locally produced. For example...
Sand-and-green. However, local units did like to McGuyver stuff onto their vehicles, such as improvised sandbag armour...
Can we see skins for US vehicles that changes unit insignia, battle damage, wear-and-tear and so on? I just think a load of made-up camo would be lame, when you could in fact concentrate of *infantry* skins that many of us have asked for.
Thanks
BFW

There is a load of made up camo already for both sides... It's too late now...
Which ones?

As for German skins that's a bit more funny,there are some which are genuine, but most I'm still waiting for pictorial evidence... but who'd go to war in that candy coloured vanilla and pink camouflage? Factory finish or something... the idea is good enough but the deep red/pink was on the interiors whilst the white we see was on the outside, effectively similar to the colour we have for uncamouflaged German tanks anyway.

This is the only one I feel is properly genuine... but I'm no expert so there might be more... but considering most of them, I doubt it.

"The German Eighth Army painted whitewash over the green camouflage of its vehicles as the battle for Stalingrad carried on into winter."
This in the description of the German Stalingrad winter scheme...
Edit: though by the standards of the current skins in the game the skin isn't so bad...

Which one is that? Steam won't let me view that page in my browser and the DLC is unlisted on Steam so I can't view it in the client.
Also, the Late War Factory Pattern seems to be based off these two Jagdpanthers:
Top one for the pattern, bottom one for frequency of the stripes.

To be honest though I'd still like some evidence that that hasn't been applied later on following some strange idea by a museum curator or something, I remember hearing something along those lines where the colours would be applied on bogus grounds or something, though perhaps it wasn't a tank.
I wish Relic had stuck to the top photo's shapes and lines. They're so much more tasteful than the one we have in game. I stand by my comment that its ugly as hell.

That is the only one I feel is properly genuine to my mind.

There was also a picture of the small yellow stripe camo but I can't find it right now.

I think Relic can take liberties with German armour - look at this.

Of course, there were many variations depending on local requirements.

* Americans - that's a turning circle.
