I think it just needs to lose the barrage and needs to be able to be decrewed - just like all the other emplacements. |
Still, I don't buy the 4 color pattern or the blue and yellow back US tanks cause there aren't any photos from the time.
I also think it's totally possible to do accurate US skins whether or not they were field applied. Most of the German ones were too. |
I guess all this does is beg the question: Why desert skins in a game which takes place entirely in Europe? |
Hmpf, the Ardennes Pattern was, indeed, just under my eyes. Better open them next time
No problem, buddy.
Those are nice photos. The only thing is, that all of these photos are ones I agree do exist. The 'dark and khaki' (as relic calls is) is just a bunch different in game. I'm fine with all the Ostheer camos as those are all good but I think relic got a little bit weird with the western armies.

Oh we already have ? Didn't notice.
Otherwise for the OKW skins, they are all historical except the Panzergrau West pattern ( I'm not sure it is, but maybe )
For US i know that the Field Camouflage/Four Color Camouflage/Ardennes Field-Modified Camouflage/Baker, Dog and Fox Company Camouflages existed and were used in Europe/Afrika ( For the Dog ) and Italy ( For the Four Color at least ). Don't know for the others.
PS : The Field Camouflages can not be historically accurate because ... they were Field Camouflages lol. Most of the crews painted their own tank how they could. They were all unique.
Could you find photos of the OKW ones? I haven't been able to and that's why i think they're not historical.
For the US ones, the only one I've seen a photo is of the four color one - but in the photo there are only 2 colors. I forgot about the other reward US camos.
Sorry, I don't agree with the last point. I think they can be historically accurate because units tended to paint their vehicles the same way and if there's a photo of it, then it existed. |
I'm ok for an option like " Disable other people's skins ".
Especially since the new Valkyria Chronicles unrealistic skins are out.( they're still beautiful though )
And i agree that winter Camo ( especially full white skins ) are a bit disturbing on summer maps.
They have that already, an option to disable unhistorical skins and that includes the valkyria stuff, thankfully. Although, I'm pretty sure most of the OKW and US skins aren't real (I haven't seen a photo of them). For OKW, I think that only the Rotbraun ambush and the ardennes camo are real camouflages that they used and for US I think they're all not real except the new operation husky one. |
How come this is even an issue, as in: why is there even two setups of skins in the box if it's not intended to make this difference? Of course we shouldn't see winterskins in summer, wth! That it can happen must be considered a bug, not a feature.
I assume the eight people voting "no" meant it should not be a choice, it should be sorted automatically by the game.
I'm actually shocked that anyone has voted against this option. It's not like it would affect the people who wanted to use white tanks in the summer - they just don't have to turn the option off. |
You guys must be from places where the seasons and climate are fairly binary. I just like to envision their use during the early spring or late fall, a flash thaw or freak snow storm briefly outmoded the camouflage. Or my crews are being lazy and haven't repainted yet.
It's tough to call it an early thaw if there are leaves on the trees and grass is growing. Also, keep in mind this game takes place in temperate Europe where seasons are binary.
Again, I'm fine with summer camos in winter as it still makes sense (especially since a lot of the allies didn't camo their vehicles anyway).
I don't think the crews would be lazy. It's their lives. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be caught in a white tank when there is no snow on the ground.

Is helpingvonluvman helpinghans, luvnest and von ivan? that would be terrible to play against. |
But Butt...wut about british and hamericanski on Semoisky or Kholodnie Ferma or russky in France?
Most of the maps are fine as there is nothing to say 'this is definitely Russia' or 'or this is France, not Eastern Germany/Prussia or Poland' aside from the occasional orthodox church. However, if I had my way, the British and Americans wouldn't fight alongside the Russians, but I'm probably a minority.
But, this thread is not about eastern front units fighting in the west or vise versa, so please try to stay on topic. |
