No. Infact they should do the opposite and make them even more restricting. Mostly talking about the premium flag decals. Or then add a third option for people who don’t care for any authenticity, whose decals wont show to others. You could also just make a custom skin. It’s easy.
Not sure I follow the positive votes when this rips more of the game’s identity. It’s already bad enough with the anime decals on ww2 tanks and the other stuff. When you play with France you expect to play with French and not Leclercs plastered with Russian flag decals.
It would be a better suggestion to allow total customization of what you want to see.
You can turn off the decals on other vehicles.
I’ve always liked characters like this, they don’t like something so they demand to limit everyone else.
IT would be awasome to have a Balkenkreuz in some of my Italian tanks, to represent historical configurations. Since in Sim it’s already on Axis side, why isn’t it allowed?
I get that it is to avoid people disguising vehicles. But it really sucks to be unable to use my nations roundel. I would be okay with it if it would only show for me if it has to. But not completely locked.
Im on both sides of the decal choices. Some top tier vehicles are covered in autistic stuff for fun, but alot of my rank 2 and 3 vehicles i love making them look semi historical.
Im aware I can use player made skins but only I can see them. I want everyone to see the effort so to speak.
My thoughts on it was maybe the 4 slot limit stays as is for obvious reasons.
But maybe we add some extra slots that only allow “historical” decals such as numbers or insignias.
If I want numbers, generally I require 3 per side. but I only have 3 slots so I have to leave 1 side bare or place the numbers on the rear of the turret so it doesn’t look goofy.
Perhaps even to avoid people using a heap of numbers to make stupid images, maybe we could have an option to “make” a number decal that only takes up 1 slot and add 2 “historical” decal slots.
Eg. I want tank number 123. I select those numbers and the game arranges them into a single decal, I can then have that custom decal in 2 slots plus 2 slots for insignia. And then that leave the other 4 slots for the other decals in game.
