Add basic paintjobs for each map by default and for free

Update to this suggestion No.2:

Decals should be tied to the campaign preset.

E.g. I want my T-34-85 to have the 3rd Tank Corps emblem for Berlin/Far East:

But if/when a snowy late-war map comes for the Soviets (Stalingrad/Rzhev don’t count, T-34-85 didn’t exist then), I will want to use the white Dmitry Donskoy paintjob:

Then the white triangle emblem stays on the white camo and interferes with the lettering:

Suggestion: decals should be linked to campaign presets just like paintjobs are:

They just need to do it like WT, where you can have set preset for separate skins on the same vehicle.

Suggestion No.3:

Vehicles should get period-appropriate paintjobs by default.

For example, we have several planes which it automatically come with black-and-white invasion stripes, which obviously were not used before the Normandy invasion of June 1944.

For pre-1944 maps such as Tunisia, we should be getting a generic skin without the stripes.

After 5 years of this “WW2 game” development, how is it permitted to allow Winter White into Tunisia?

Why are premium squad buyers punished?

Besides, we really need plane skins to also change automatically depending on the map:

Y’know, for the longest time I though the panzer 38(t)s were common-place in north africa, but then you said that they in fact weren’t, so I did some research and turns out, you’re right. Thanks for the motivation.

Suggestion No.4:

Campaign specific vehicles should change their leaves/branches depending on the map.

It doesn’t make any sense to see tanks with palm leaves in snowy Ardennes.

2.5 years after the Merge have passed and we still can’t fix desert camo tanks in Stalingrad and snowy white planes in Manchuria?

Its baffling how little care is given to this and how we had all this before the Merge.

This is the only P-51 Mustang skin we have now:

How sad is it that 3 years after the Merge we still can’t have it automatically in North Africa colors when flown over Tunisia?

Can’t have it automatically in Pacific colors?

Can’t have it automatically in European camo but without the invasion stripes?

True enough, the default camo on some vehicles is pretty easy to pick out on specific maps
