Hey all!
This has been suggested a thousand times, including by yours truly as early as in November 2021:
This has even been marked as “planned” by our ex-CM and received overwhelmingly positive feedback:
However, over the two years since February 2024 those plans have gone nowhere.
Therefore, it’s time to suggest this one again in this new poll format:
Add faction markings for all vehicles by default
-
Every faction should receive their default vehicle markings on all vehicles (cross, star, rising sun, and more).
-
Such markings must be pre-placed and pre-sized on every vehicle according to the faction’s regulations of the time to avoid incorrect non-WW2-style use.
-
Faction markings must correspond to the era of the battle (e.g. Normandy 1944).
-
The USSR being the “red star” faction MUST NOT mean that every Soviet tank should receive a red star – more often than not Soviet tanks in WW2 only used tactical markings, which should also be added. The red star should only appear in select cases.
-
Every vehicle should receive a default turret number corresponding to the faction’s WW2 regulations in its correst font, if applicable (e.g. no “999”) – preferably randomized every match to avoid always seeing the same “Tiger 131”.
-
This system should also apply to transport vehicles, APCs, etc.
-
Paired with the FREE and DEFAULT basic paintjobs for each map, such markings should automatically change the color and style depending on the map/biome/era (e.g. USMC tank markings in the Pacific were yellow more often than not in contrast with the Army’s white in Europe).
POLL – Add default historical faction markings for all vehicles?
- Yes
- No
