Personally I like them but the aviation ones definitely need some work

I really like them as well.
Hiding the skybox they used for the lighting render does create a little bit of a mismatch with what your brain expects to see. I think that’s where some of the complaints stem from.
I personally like the solid background, but maybe a softer light balance, that more matches the background tone, might solve some of those complaints, I don’t know.
EDIT - actually, maybe even a bit harsher light balance would help. Not sure.

I also think having the flag behind the vehicle would be really nice and make it less bland.

I don’t get how this new stat cards are better (talking only about aviation ones since I play air 99% of the time). The old images imho were pretty cool, while this one are just the aircraft seen from a weird perspective. Just use preview if you want to look at the aircraft, it’s not like without the new images there was no way to get a good look at the vehicles.

I do think the new air ones look kinda off and they definitely need work but the old images got old after so long.
Yeah they were old but they gave me a lot more “polished” feeling to the tech tree design. The new images are basically the model you can see in preview with a grey background on the back, while the old ones with all the aircraft showed from different angles and nice back grounds behind them felt like someone actually put time and work to make them.
Also some of those images like the MiG-19pt ones were actually really cool.
They should give an option on the launcher to let players choose the images they want.

I agree. Good image of the ground vehicle. Ship and aircraft images need improvement.

New ones are by far prettier.
Type 90’s icon is astonishing.

Makes the game look much more modern

Much prefer the old ones. They were unique and had so much more character.
These news ones are so generic and boring. Seems like a complete downgrade

Generic is the perfect word to describe it

Keep them but the Shading is a little too shiny imo, reduce the reflections and brightness a little bit.

I also think the glass not appearing is pretty ugly and I think the pilot shouldn’t be visible, makes it look off

I personally like this change!
The idea of these pictures is to showcase the vehicles; if they all share objective angle, perspective, lighting and background criteria, they can be better perceived compared to an artistic iteration where each vehicle has a different everything.
Like… old ones are more artistic aesthetically speaking, but new ones fulfill their role better at clearly showcasing the vehicles.

I’m just gonna say that naval ones on top being ugly, are done from probably the worst possible angle. From the pic alone it is sometimes hard to determine what kind of ship even is this

My suggestion for Battleships and large ships: standardize distance from the bow, regardless of whether it shows the entire mast or not. Otherwise, ships with taller masts appear way too small and far away!

Why does modern always mean simplicity now?
Even MS-DOS had single color background doesn’t look very Modern to me

First initial impression is ok
Needs a bit polishing
Planes appear too bright and IMO pilot should be removed from cockpit

I cant say they are bad. But I would preffer more old ones which showed not only vehicle but also era in which they appeared and made them historicaly accurate. At least for vehicles up to rank V.
Best option would be to make an option to choose for player which would they personaly preffer in option settings.

I think the new ones are neat. They just need some polishing that’s all
