New cosmetics

I’ve done a bit of research and found an interesting idea for new cosmetics for Soviet vehicles. During the war, the mass produced tanks available to the Soviet Union didn’t always had proper protection and as such, many crewmen added their personal touch to make their vehicles better protected against the unbelievably powerful axis scum canons.

As such I propose a new COSMETIC available for SOVIET vehicles available for gold, that would give additional 20mm bonus armour where it counts.

A bit like for the t34 STZ.

  • Yes, I believe it is fair to allow Soviets vehicles additional welded armoured plates, available from the customization tab.
  • No, I am a wheraboo and lost the war.

Why should thia be restricted to only ussr? The most known examples are american

Because allies are not Soviets.

Soviets won the war!

And allies tanks are balanced. Soviets tanks are all very weak. Because tiger2, and now ho ri.

aha, I get it. This is about the ISU vs siG thing?

Not really. It’s about giving Soviets vehicles a nice innovation touch, and a fighting chance. Because tiger2.

Moreover, armour bonuses from cosmetics is a nice touch giving a bit of flair to the faction. Just like body armours.

But I suppose you are right. Allies could also benefit from such feature.

The soviets did need much US and UK support to win ww2, the USA Bombing campaign was very importent in ww2, land lese to russia was very importent in ww2.
That the Soviets did win ww2 alone claim is just historical wrong!
Alone the Land Lease Studebaker trucks where very importent for Russia!

Most Nations in ww2 used some kinds of improvised armor, then most or all factions should get modified & improvised armor vehycles variants!

Perhaps…

  • Axis could get zimmerit paste cosmetics I suppose. Gor gold. It would prevent magnetic mines on their tanks. It’s very op! But it’s ok because there’s none in game.

  • Japan could have bamboo sticks spears on their tanks, giving a bonus tank melee damage on contact! Very op… I hesitate with it.

  • Soviets as I said could have bonus 20mm armour covering most weakspots… it’s not very impressive so It’s balanced.

  • Allies could have similar armour… but then it’s really op on them! So I’m on the fence about it.

I dont think that some stuff or even crap on Ami Tanks makes there tanks OP.

Maybe… I’m open to suggestions!

I think Ami Tanks are only in br 3 really powerfull, In higher BR the Panthers and Tigers are more Powefull then most stuff of the USA!

Ok even when i like the normal Pershing in the Game!
