Actually just looked up the root words of my name, and it technically means “A new gift from the gods” XD more specifically “A gift of the gods; a new pride, and sense of purpose”
Quite the Ego there Zyranovos…lol just joking.
Well mine is Kagutsuchi, which is is patron god of blacksmiths and my last name if you translate it into english means blacksmith.

Thank you mate for contributing to the topic…Its always interesting to me when you are flying to battle and waiting to engage, I look around and wonder at times, hmm…I wonder why they picked that name out.
Thank you mate

I’ve always been fascinated by the technology used in german aircrafts during WW2, tales of Me 262 jet fighters desperately engaging thousands of B-17s during the closing days of the war mesmerized me. I’ve always found them better looking too. As for the “Ace’” in my name, when I was a kid i used to always win in dogfights agaisnt my friends on various video games and they called me like that, so it just stuck lol
For the PFP my favorite time of WW2 is the 1944-1945 period, the final year, it’s during those days that the really advanced german machines and weaponry were used, so a Jagdpanther commander with Splinter tarn camo from 1944 was my best option lol
As for the signature customization, I always add Werner’s 100 on my aircrafts, I just love it.

I like Pangolins
Username is pretty self explaiatory. A funny inversion of “wallet warrior” cause I buy too many premiums
Pfp is also rather simple, as a Mexican-American I had to jump at the chance of some representation. Plus he looks like me lol.
Title: “Let’s Go!” because I’m just like that
For skins, a vehicle has to earn decals. Faces come quickly,based on how I feel the personality of the aircraft is. Or just what looks funny.
Names are earned by exceptional aircraft, and passed on to great aircraft from the same designer nation. British aircraft were the first to earn a permanent name, Roger (with the O overlapping the roundel), from the Spit Mk IIb, the first aircraft I really had any level of success in. The Bf-110C gave the German aircraft the name Panther. The P-38J earned American aircraft Major Jim. The MiG-15bis earned the Soviets Ill Wind. The G.91 has given Italian aircraft the name Grasshopper.
Lightning bolts are reserved for only the best of the best aircraft.
Of course there are exceptions. Various meme skins. Historical skins and decals. Some stuff I made before I had a system, that I’ve kept for nostalgia. Other random exceptions. “RAHHH FREEDOM 🦅🦅🦅 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸” P-47 for example. Special Delivery for bombers used in GRB. Polish markings for several historical Polish lineups.
But perhaps my favourite creation is on a tank: behold, the glorious XM-1
The other XM-1 looks better but I don’t have an image of it atm

Username: originally it was kicathecat12 (kica is a misspelling of kitten in Polish, also what I always call my cat. Honestly no clue where the 12 came from, made the account name when I was like 11 though). A few years ago I changed it to soybeaninhaler because it’s unique and well why the hell not.
pfp: probably the most unique and rare one I have, also the BP it’s from has my favorite French vehicle. Also it’s arguably one of the more cooler pfps, not just a dude in front of a tank smiling, it actually looks hard
Decals: Croatian soccer ball max size, Polish land forces flag max size, drone with shining lights, red warning sign. I’m an Italy main and I’ve gone too insane spading Italy. I want my enemy to see me and fear me, and the last thing for them to see being that of a goofy ahh ariete that can be see from the ISS. Ive become a professional ground RB rage baiter. In air I like the normal camos, might touch em up from time to time with numbers and stuff.

Big question:
Federation or Cascadia?
I’ve been a fan of MC Escher for ages and my PC case is covered in stickers of his work from an old 90’s book ( heres a pic Imgur: The magic of the Internet ), so my username is an hommage to his work.
As for planes, I stick the Tiger Head nose art on my planes, usually small like irl symbols are, the rest of the decorations are imo, exceptionally ugly and ill fitting… I also only use few skins, again, a lot of them are either very poorly made (im a texture artist so my standards are quite high), or theyre just straight up ugly.
Thats very interesting, thank you.
I actually opened up another window to look up MC Escher. Very Nice.
I play as Racer X sometimes, and so my planes look like Racer X’s car, from “Speed Racer”. If Im playing as Racer X, I go through and re-customize, as I enjoy that aspect of the game as well.
But most of my WT career since Beta, I have been Doc Holliday…because, lol, I want the other pilot to know it was Doc Holliday that killed them.
I kind of look at every plane and decide what I want to do with it, historical or no?
Here is one of my favorite skins…for my Zero Otsu. The one decal I did put on it is the Japanese symbol for “Falcon”, for that is a plane I do well in, for what it is, unless I meet a smart player with a energy plane.
Thank you for contributing, thats what makes it a community to me. Very Cool Mate.

Just found this thread, My current name is derived from a sound me and my friend used to make for some reason only god knows why. I normally play as “2late” because I found it as a pre-made username on Super Smash Bros, and I liked it so I just started using it for everything I could. My pfp is just the rarest one I have, same with my title.
As far as my vehicles, I have a “Berlin Express” on my Conqueror’s barrel due to me fighting Tiger and panther tanks in it quite often. I also have a “Special delivery” and “My Baby” on the turret face because it is one of my favorite tanks :)
The only other one I can think of is my Ratel 90
I have SADF logo on the sides. Now that I think of it, I also have that logo on the lfp of my rooikat
Thats cool. I dont play tanks because I dont want to learn all over again. Ive been flying planes since Beta.
Thats interesting…thank you for your contribution, thats what makes this a community.
Good Luck Mate
Most of the time Im Doc Holliday, but sometimes I play as Racer X, the mysterious racer who is Speed Racers brother really…LOL
Replying to this again as I changed names and such
Zulizia mostly comes from the time I was interested in fantasy. I liked the name Azmychia (derived from Azmych), and I’d already had the name being partly ‘Zulu’ so Zulizia sounded nice!
A lot of my vehicles will have something that sets them apart in a way. I sometimes put the Cyprus and Malta flag (as that is where I’m from), the Tank Tutorial Decal for a ground vehicle I’ve nuked with, and the Aircraft Tutorial decal for all vehicles I love + do well in. Certain vehicles have their own names (eg Harriers relate to Witches), IFVs are generally animals (Type 89 “Cobra”, RCV “Owl”, Type 16 “Maine”, etc.) because they feel more tactical and rely on the environment you put yourself in. Some of my favourite vehicles will have the number ‘27’ on them (USSR Decal) as its my favourite number! I’m not as special and cool as ‘Racer X’, sadly.
Avatar is the same reason as before, I love the winter!
