Desert Camouflages Should NOT Be On Germany BR III - V

Introduction

The title pretty much suggests what this topic is on about, and sums it up in one statement. I already posted about this and it may sound exaggerated, but this change MUST happen and it could benefit on gameplay.

Main Topic

I’m going to say it again, and I never will stop mentioning it until it happens. Which probably never will happen.
The German camos for tanks is absolutely ridiculous. Desert camouflages for BR 3 to BR 5 vehicles should never be a thing. It should’ve stayed how it was before the merge came in which ruined everything.
I still don’t see anything good about the merge, and there is no point of complaining about it. Which sad thing is that the merge is going to stay unfortunately.
In pre merge, tanks for Battle of Berlin, and Normandy tanks used to have the Spots camouflage as a base camouflage when you unlock the tank.
It was actually descent and gave you an advantage of being hidden. After the merge came out, which just messed up everything, they removed the base camouflages for certain tanks and replaced them with a desert one which should’ve never been done in the first place.
Tanks like the Tiger II and Panthers are now stuck with it and you will now have to spend Gold to get a camo. Which I am not going to spend any money for.
Because in BR 3 to 5, you’ll not be fighting in Tunisia, or any desert environments which anyone should know at this point. Which I am still confused at what went through the Dev’s heads to make this change. - (No Hate)
This change significantly impacted gameplay and as I said, I’m not spending any money for the sake of camouflages.
I now find it that I can easily get spotted and bombed or found because of this camouflage problem. Why would it be appropriate to put desert camos on tanks which will be fighting in urban or forest areas?

Ideas

Base camouflages should be implemented on tanks from certain battle ratings.

Or you can make camouflages unlockable by at least gold orders or getting a certain amount points or kills in the tank for it.

Conclusion
In conclusion, this change will be pretty important in the gameplay aspect. I think customization in any form should have more variety and freedom to players. And as I said, this needs to happen.
And I pretty much stated its justifications for it.
Make sure to leave your thoughts down in the comments, I’d certainly like to see your ideas or what you think.

Dark yellow was the standard base paint for German vehicles since 1943. Although other colours were painted on top of this, like various greens and browns.

You have no idea about German tank painting then.

That yellowish tone was replacing “Panzergrau” or “tank grey” as the standard factory finish at the end of the war.

This is exactly how it should be like.

Actually to give the devs credit - you can see on some vehicles that where “grey from the factory” that on places where the camo got scratched the stronger “grey” would show - while on late war vehicles with camo the yellow will get visible.

This is an amazing attention to detail.

Honestly, camo should change depending on the map like uniforms do.
White wash on winter maps
Desert camouflage on desert maps
Ect…

Well yes, but all tanks on the field were painted to at least bicolour camouflage.
you will only see unicolour panzers in transport or if they were rushed to the battlefield.

Even 1945 full panic mode tanks were bicolour, with red primer and dark yellow.

Yes, however they usually painted over them. Or they were rushed to transport, as Valkay mentioned.

Yes and no, both things happened together
