Unseen on stat card stats like ADS speed and movement dispersion are more important to MGs.

Is this a MG42 clone or RPD44 for BR4?

What is this and why?

Any historical reference to glueing newspapers to a tank?

Also, without a biome/skin system this again will make no sense in Tunisia/Normandy.

fair.

though he was primarly known in the latter years.
being a king tiger ace.

but eh… it is a nitpick of mine.
so fair enough.

that’s why you can choose where and when to apply it.

the same system you asked for and was delivered.

Essentially, newspaper was a cheap way to hide a tank in snow without painting.
