[Would you like to see this in-game?]
Since update ‘Firebirds’, camouflage nets on ground vehicles now change to the color of the camouflage selected for the vehicle. However some of these nets are not realistic. Such as the one on Leopard 2A4(PzBtl123) and the one on Leopard 2A4M, whose camouflage net in real life is desert color while the body of the Leopard 2A4M is standard color.
So I suggest that a swtich button in tank customization option to switch whether camouflage nets change to the color of the camouflage selected.
This is how it could look like in the tank customization tab:
While turning it off, the camouflage nets remain its original color just like these in old version in game:

This would definitely be an excellent addition with something more !
My idea is to be able to mount or dismount it depending on the selected camouflage, AND to be able to choose whether it matches the vehicle’s color or not!
So:
Once you’ve researched the camouflage net in the modifications, unlock the use of two buttons in the customization exactly as you illustrated it but with one more switch:
Mount the camouflage net: Yes/No
Adapt the net color to the tank’s: Yes/No
To give an example of usefulness, we could finally choose to mount camouflage netting ‘Basic desert camouflage’ but having it dismounted on ‘Basic color’, Instead of only having the binary choice of whether to mount it or not in the modification table, whatever camouflage is used ! That would be really nice.
This would also allow us to avoid wasting historical camouflages with netting. I’m thinking of the 2A4M ‘11A’, which, once the netting is mounted, completely ruins this historical camouflage, but there is others like Vextra who historically had it in desert, but not in tricolor European camo, and probaly .others
Then +1 with some modification to your main idea !

Yes, PLEASE!
I am obssessed with how this desert camo looks with green nets, wish I didn’t need to use an userskin and instead could be made server-side.
It’s also a realistic livery.

most nations have camouflage nets and they have become even more important with drones now. These nets are a integral part of the modern survivability onion and need to be a unlock in all nations.

+1 Camouflage nets color variations are a must.
I really wish this would get more attention. Of all the tanks with nets, I really dislike the matching texture on the PzBtl123, it just looks so ugly compared to what we had originally.
From my experience playing the PzBtl, having the net match the camo pattern made perfect sense. Having a green net on a desert map does make you stand out. But in most cases now, having the net match your camo pattern makes it look like you’re not even using one.
Considering camo nets are becoming more common with the devs adding them to new vehicles and plan to retroactively add them to existing tanks, it only makes sense they should offer more quality of life features for these nets.
