True. There is usermade skin in game for GJN without scratches and it looks like clay model.
Get Premium and you can make the paint 100% should you wish.
I feel like the beat up tank has the advantage of blending in better. It could probably pass as a destroyed tank or part of the map.

Vehicles not looking fresh out of the factory is more authentic, in my honest and frank opinion.
Additionally, it assists with blending in to the environment as much as possible.
Having a factory fresh paintjob or generally loud camo sticks out like a sore thumb. Trust me, I know from experiencing in terms of spotting and shooting first at bright vehicles and being spotted and shot at first while in one.
Should be optional. They already made the stat cards absolutely soulless

That’s a M60 not a M-60, a M-60 is the Chiliean Super Sherman Tank.

Regarding the camoflague condition slider, it does almost nothing. I don’t have the M60 myself (Managed to skip it, and feel no need to go back and unlock it), but here’s the M103, a somewhat similarly scuffed vehicle.

Be honest, if I hadn’t labeled them, would you have been able to tell the difference without close inspection? And this is an option that’s only available with premium. I had to pay to get this “feature”. Why not make it work properly, so you have worn camo for those who want it and unworn for those that don’t?

I mean, the strictness of paint isn’t exactly uniform across every military nor every command in that military. Some tend to be stricter than others. But typically out on deployment paint is on the lower end of priorities.
And I say this as one who currently serves in the USN and been on a deployment before. It’s different for the Navy compared to the Army yes, but out on deployment we really only painted if we had time, which was typically when pulling into port. And my command was def on the stricter side when it came to painting, our ship looked like it had just came out of the yards by the time we got back. But you look at other ships in homeport next to us and most of them were fairly rusty, rustier than what you’d think. Standards in the military tend to be less than what people think.
I can agree to that.
I also agree on the stat cards looking like garbage pulled from Getty.

I feel like we see this sort of response a fair amount, I’m sure Xbox and Playstation would also love to make money off of the additional content the consoles don’t have access to. Is it a policy thing? If you’re asking us to write to the console store owners, it would be helpful to know which policies are holding Gaijin back from offering parity between all the platforms. Xbox’s store guidelines for developers seemingly allows for User Generated Content to be distributed and monetized. Other games like Arma Reforger have fully integrated mod browsers that are the same between console and PC. Diablo 3 launched on consoles with a real money auction house that’d be equivalent to the marketplace. Is it a money thing? Not happy with the cut that would be taken? Plenty of other games seem to find ways to offer the same access to things across all platforms, and Gaijin kinda tries to offer skins to console users but it’s in the worst way using gacha boxes.
A similar thing has also been the response when asking about premium pack discounts for consoles, but right now for the first time in ever there are some premium packs on sale; which is fantasticl, it’s great to see but really begs the question of what was holding that up all the other times.

You also need to account for how long the metal hulls, chassis, etc were laying outside, or in a building as well as the dirt, dust, dents, bangs, vibrations, and welding marks. As well as the production of vehicles per factory. Since all would look different in slight ways. So I agree.
Both of those photos look way better than Gaijin’s worn out, rusty, dented AF ready for the scrapyard or used for target practice spin on USA tanks. BTW couldn’t help but notice how much better the T55, T62 and T72’s all look. Wonder why? And so do you guys want them to look like crap too ? Hmmmm 🙄🤔
just add a feature to choose between a factory model and a worn model.
Unfortunately, camouflage condition doesn’t really help much.
It’s not about the pure pragmatism It’s about enjoyment of the game and personal preferences but your exactly right
The French stuff looks the worst. Like it’s been taken from the bottom of the sea. The decals look like they came from a football sticker book.
To the people saying that tanks can’t look and be in good paint conditions: THIS is what 100% condition should look like.
Are these “plastic models” too? Are these real life tanks unrealistic?

Man, some of these replies are just so cynical
Yes, it would be great for a wider range, on both ends of the spectrum.
On top of this I’d like to see more single color paint and camo options. More items like rolled up camo nets, backpacks, ammo boxes, food boxes, etc would be nice, for either GE or SL
No hyphens in US tank names
