I was wondering, why all the common, non-user made, camo aren’t unlockable by kill/target destruction/bombing base now ?
For the tank/boat it"s ok because there is pre–made camo
But for planes, a lot don’t have camo, and for some that have one or few, they are all GE locked (for user-made i can understand, and rare one too (like green, blue etc etc), could be nice to at least be able to work for the common one (white) no ?
(back then I can understand that it was a way to earn money for the company because they weren’t a lot of playable vehicle, but now ? why ?)
Idk it sucks you can’t change/get camos for planes for free (on most of them). Most likely a cash grab or something.

sheer volume of aircraft means that it would take gaijin decades to give every airframe some unlockable camos
Honestly I wish Gaijin would allow us to have our Three Tone CARC camos unlockable instead of the bland khaki and white camo.
By cash grab you mean the company making revenue as any business does, and in fact, actually NEEDS too? When you go get a burger and they offer to up size it for a fee, do you rage at them about a cash grab?

(back then I can understand that it was a way to earn money for the company because they weren’t a lot of playable vehicle, but now ? why ?) - Do you have access to the numbers of players playing vs the numbers actually buying premium stuff? If not then you should be able to work out “WHY?” without needing to be a rocket scientist.
Eh… Given most tanks have at least 3 (usually woodland, desert and winter skin), if not more. I think it would be trivial for them to just import a few WT.Live skins for aircraft without any and make them Free to acquire through kills or bombing.
For example FRS1e hasnt got a single skin, and yet the FRS1’s default skin (which is different) and event skin could both be C&Ped over to the FRS1e (and be perfectly historically accurate if not more accurate on the FRS1e rather than the FRS1) and it would only take them seconds to do so. (likewise the FRS1e’s default skin could be C&Ped over to the FRS1 as a free skin to unlock)

I understand the need for gaijin to generate revenue and camos are one method to do that. What I would like to see is for the community to have the ability to reduce the GE required to unlock them. I created a thread about this a while ago.
Once a player achieves x number of kills the GE cost of the camo is reduced to 50%. Gaijin still has the revenue stream and there are players who might pay 100 GE instead of 200 GE for a camo. Seems to be a win/win for Gaijin and the community.
