Why camouflage nets?

The Type 93 (and other SAM vehicles) are extremely vulnerable to enemies, especially those who do not have Guns or LOAL missiles. It is difficult to hide, it is hard to avoid enemy detection and it is difficult to survive. This leads to the Type 93 often sitting in spawn as it is too dangerous to leave it. Though a camouflage net won’t make it invisible, it atleast allows it to hide in denser foliage or avoid detection at a glance. It also just looks cool.


How would this function in game?

This would be a researchable modification, making it so that the Type 93 has 17 modifications. There are a few possible positions that the ‘Camouflage Net’ modification can be.

My first thought was as a Tier IV modification (Purple Box), similar to the Type 90 (B) Fuji, PzH2000HU and Leopard 2A4M CAN (and likely others). However, I think this would make Tier IV way too inflated and Tier III way too small (6 Modifications vs 3 Modifications). As a result, an alternative is extending the ‘Protection’ Tab and placing it next to ‘Crew Restoration.’

If you have any suggestions for vehicles you’d like to see receive a Camo-Net, I’d be interested in doing it. Its fun finding images of vehicles in different configurations instead of scouring the internet for a single picture of an obscure prototype.

WIP :3

would be good as the type 93 has really low survivability and no real defence other than running away

so having a form of camo netting will be nice for it

Here is another Type 93 with camo nets

A more effective one might be the Type 93 with Barracuda since it should provide some IR masking from helis and jets.
Sadly this is one of the only pics of it being mounted.

There are also other types of camo nets mounted on other megacruisers, but the applications should be identical.

+1, the Type 93 has no defense against ground vehicles other than remaining unseen. This would help greatly in taking unconventional positions.
