Actually that’s kind of what happened to HA in the game.
At first we had some non historical things in game. Then more was added “because we already have X”. And more and more… and now we have a japanese wooden mockup tank and volksturm in tunesia.
But I guess ww2 is borng so we need to finally add something interesting to the game.

Ugh…
It’s not?
From what I can see from the picture,
It uses drab olive, tan and brown.
The one in the game is forest green, olive and orange.
Eh, it’s a bit different.
The game never really has been historical.
From day 1.
It’s more of an occurring “meme” between some players and df to justify some of their shortcomings and / or controversial changes.
Which it’s just ironic.
And it saddens me to say this.
But then again, it could have been easily prevented if the marketing team didn’t polluted the water.

What you mean no one complained?
Most comments there were controversial and the same glaring issues as today were brought up
It had plywood magically glued to its sides, what do you mean “historically accurate”?
How do you imagine wood installed as skirts for Pz IV?

Rivets? Bolted?
I mean, I agree with the rest. But the whole plank stitck I’m not sure it’s justified.
Like objectively speaking , the panzer IV j skin was more justifiable than this one. ( perhaps some of the gun shots scratches appearance were a little over done. But for the rest, a vehicle skin worthily of being actually a gold order. But how can they say no to gold. A bit of a tan get, but I find it funny that the first gold orders were better with decorations, tank markings, camouflages etc. and now, it’s just some camouflage and almost no decorations or sometimes, not even markings )

I’m okay with the gun skins since they are just bloody and covered in bandages which is okay and isn’t too far fetch but the tank is too whacky stuff if it’s going to be on the main game.
Same goes for the soldiers on which if they are going to be appearing on the main game is going to be extremely jarring especially the Japanese one with his Samurai armour, I honestly don’t understand why they were doing reasonable, grounded IRL soldiers for Gold Orders to then do this, this reminds me A LOT of Insurgency Sandstorm’s Chinese skins where they tried to put some Fortnite looking skins to the game and people riot over them to the point they scrapped them from the game.
If the devs aren’t changing their plans it would be appreciate it to have an option to turn them off individually so the player has a choice on specifically which contents they want to see and which ones they would like to avoid.
However I’m concerned that more events with absurd content bleeding into the main game will take priority over improving the game for example doing an overhaul on the movement and gun animations in several weapons that have some rough animations that look very poor in comparison to others.

Yes, it was not as disgustingly “steampunk” as this Sherman, but
I must have skipped Darkflow Engineering school cause I can’t see how this tiny wood plank can be attached to a perpendicular thin metal fender and why would Germans ever do that.
It was the beginning of the slippery slope and now we get Samurai and Mad Hans.

A possible reason, to have a side skirt.
Makeshift side skirts are not necessarily an “ unheard “ concept.
Hell, to this day some still uses them.
Which I don’t think would have been hard to make either.
Which shows and embodies ( or rather screams ) desperations.
Something that fits ww2 when it comes to for example, a panzer J.
And rightfully used with a red factory paint ( tad darker, but it’s still a pass )
Maybe we are over praying and seeing things that aren’t there.
A struck of Lady Luck on the visual team.
But it felt genuine.
Not this… “ ha ha funny zombie tank “
With spikes…
Lovely mental gymnastics, but this…
And this…
Are not the same.

I honestly think they could change the tank skin to that second picture of the model, keeping the hit marks around and it would be 10 times better and way more acceptable to see on the main game
If people wants to have this esque-warhammer40k tank on their team and some gay russian bear drinking vodka from his flask, i’m ok with it, not in my match. If they add a filter that would be a perfect start, but if you allow them to put a finger inside your ass, how long till they fist you up?
Keep WW2 game as a WW2 game or deal with whatever happens if you decide to change half the way, considering they will release the game in less than 4 years.

I found a huge bug according to the new event and custom battles:
playing standard custom battles and fullfilling the requirements (see screenshot) and playing with the required players only result in 100 silver after the end, instead of the shown silver.
same while playing against bots only - testet it out and result was multiple time 600-700 credits and 1.000-1.200 research points shown, but you get only 100 silver and the shown research points.
before the halloween event both worked perfectly.
I guess you event is overwriting the income in standard custom battles. please check and fix it.

Will we be getting any patch notes for this update? I’ve already noticed some undocumented changes (German PPSH Obrez getting its damaged buffed)
You know all of this controversy could’ve been avoided if it was just a silly event with wacky characters and the rewards were just some gold orders and silver like usual

why the event isnt called operation pay wall or operation cash grab it would ve more fitting

The PPD-34 & the PPD-34/38 got a camera change
Besides the obrez buff this is the only other noteworthy change

Please increase the Halloween Token drop rate from the crates or the amount.
40 tokens out of 6-7 crate not good.

Close enough
I like it, should my enjoyment be limited by your opinion? Enlisted never was a milsim- there’s going to be options to limit skins visibility on your end, I want more skins

Honestly, I’m quite sad that devs put much resources and time into this temporary event instead of using it to fix or add something new and historical based that will stay permanently in the main gamemode 
I’m not rejecting some new experience to freshen the game tho, something like this is good from time to time but looks like you didn’t balance what should or should’t do at the time moment well enough. So much bugs and stuff are left to be fixed, to be added, to be improved, please don’t linger it for too long.
