Hi Gaijin team & fellow players,
With the recent update replacing the classic vehicle card images with automated 3D renders, we’ve lost something that many longtime players valued deeply.
The old vehicle cards often had:
A historical or authentic feel (e.g. black-and-white or period-accurate color photos),
A unique atmosphere and charm,
Better recognizability, especially for iconic or rare vehicles.
The new 3D renders may look cleaner and more consistent, but many of us find them:
Lifeless** or sterile,
Too much like “plastic models on a shelf”,
Lacking the emotional connection the old images gave us.
🙏 What We’re Asking For:
Please give us the option to switch between old-style images and the new 3D renders (e.g. via a toggle in the settings),
Or, allow for custom uploadable preview images, similar to how custom skins work.
💡 Why It Matters:
Longtime players feel more attached to their vehicles with personalized or historical visuals.
Newer players wouldn’t be affected – the default render style could remain.
It’s a small change that would show you really value community feedback.
