Locking 90% of tank cammos behind a paywall is peak design

As I specifically play ground combat, I created camo lineups across most nations where the objective is to unlock all the camouflages. Did this as something to keep the game a little more interesting. Really working through the US and Germany right now. What I did notice is that Japan and England have quite a few camos that can only be acquired by using GE.

A couple of things to please consider:

All premium vehicles should come with 3 camos. 1 base camo, 1 winter camo, 1 desert camo. Doesn’t seem much to include when paying $70+ USD for a single vehicle. Also for premium players, the Mark of Distinction should award a unique camo as opening additional deco slots is already available for premium players so where is the reward, other than a sense of pride and accomplishment. 😁

For the order of achievable camouflage schemes, please consider rearranging the order of the achievable camouflages where winter and desert camos are the first camos to unlock.

For camos locked behind GE, consider having the GE cost decrease as the kills achieved by that vehicle increase until the maximum number is achieved. Something that costs 200 GE could be discounted after a number of kills to a cost of 50 GE. Players are still using GE to unlock the camo, it’s just a little cheaper.

Also, I’m on console so the marketplace isn’t available.

I get it, cosmetics, other than purchasing premium time and vehicle’s which I’ve done, is a way to support the company and I’m all for that. Just think the above suggestions would improve the game, be welcomed by the community and are relatively simple to implement.

it allows you to use all four decal slots on premiums when you don’t have a premium account, only allowing 4 decal on non premium vehicles slots for premium accounts is dumb to begin with anyways though

It used to be where a lot of camos where free camos. Especially WW2 era like Germany have like 5-7 per vehicle? Because they were historical.
Now we get 3: Standard, desert and winter. Rest is locked because well having nice things does not drain wallets.

your not confused its pretty self explanatory there are a lot of skins lock behind pay walls historical ones and unhistoricals for example scarnhorst 1943 skin which should have been a kill skin like how some planes get kill skins but no you got spend 1k ge or more to get a nice HISTORICAL paint job and yeah custom skins exist but console players dont get that

The dumbest thing is that they reuse the same exact camo patterns for all vehicles of roughly the same period in any particular nation, so they expect you to pay 200 GE for what’s essentially the same PNG file over and over again.
