I’d like to start with saying I do not play ground often, or when I do, not very well.
Camouflage is a key part of warfare, if your enemies can’t see you, you hold the advantage. Sun Tzu said it best, “All warfare is based on deception” - Sun Tzu, Art of War. With that being said, it makes sense that the game offers many camouflage options in the store, and on War Thunder live. But this brings up a question, why do some players add camos that do not reflect the setting? like the anime skins, or meme skins. Personally, i would imagine that this doesn’t help you in game. I know enemies can’t see it, but still. your preset camo might be wrong for your setting, like using a desert camo on a winter map. I only use custom skins in Air, where camo matters not, I was just asking why people take the risk with these skins.
