I’m asking for tanks to automatically have either desert, olive or winter camo depending on the map being used. It’s because the tanks look really stupid with the wrong camouflage. There should be a default camo which is unlocked for free that automatically equips depending on the map, and the option to override with a purchased custom camo. I personally think paying for camo options is dumb, but you play with the hand your dealt right? Also I really dislike the fact that tanks are being used in the wrong theatres.

Amen to all of the above, sadly its something the devs have been told before but just seem to refuse to accept/implement.

This has been suggested several times. And the last time the devs commented on it through helpers/CM, they told us that there is no such thing planned.

It should be an option on the spawn menu in-game. You click on the tank squad and then there is a selector for the skins you purchased right from the spawn menu, and you can switch during the match depending on what you want.
That would allow people to have a bit of customizability. For example some Moscow maps are a mix of snow and forest, or even some sand like in quarry. Depending on the control point you are taking the player may want to switch from a green camo if he’s in the forest, to a white camo if he’s planning on going in the snow, or even a tan camo if he’s on quarry and wants to go down into the sand pit.
You could even use the decorations like the plants and have presets so if you are playing USA and spawn in the pacific then you can select the palm tree decoration preset, but if you spawn in Normandy then you can select the regular green or brown bush preset for your vehicle. If you are on the Normandy map with the farm then maybe you want the hay/straw decoration on your tank to blend in with the crop fields. It could be done with in-game presets selected from the in-game spawn menu.
The developers would be smart to do this as players would like it, and the developers would make more money by selling (overpriced) skins or decorations for 250 gold.
You could even implement preset selection for infantry uniform camo. Think of how Tractor Factory has lots of snow but the city Stalingrad maps like Univermag have no snow at all. So which uniforms do you use on your Stalingrad/Rzhev troops? Loading a camo uniform preset in-match would be a great, and add increased customizability to squads.

It should be the same as how soldiers wear weather-appropriate clothing depending on which campaign a player gets.
-
Vehicles should have default skins for each map group using similar system as soldier customization
-
To keep fancy camos that players paid gold for relevant, default skins should be mono color only
-
Players can still adjust/change the default appearance exactly like soldier customization (vehicle appearance orders when?)
For example, the default appearance of a German tank would look(sort of) like:
(also more vehicle deco like a random tank # and Balkenkreuz/faction equivalent for every player’s vehicle would be nice to have)

I also need more camo options overall.
Really like this tone of green:
Such a shame I cant buy it for more tanks.
