It's amusing how people (and devs) at E3 click through the UI selecting camo skins that look good... and then settle for zebra carpet.

Just looks silly.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, as long as it has to be paid for. The more ways they can think of to support the game, the better.

This.

I dont really like the "unrealistic" stuff in a game like this. Like the Loverator kinda things or these zebra stripes (on the brink, they can still be useful camo kind of things, I guess), but anyone/anything that supports this game is pretty much fine with me, with the exception of P2W and I will even manage a small amount of that too if it does truely support the game.

That.

Eh, this is about the limit. People found IRL pictures of vehicles with zebra like cammo.

Anything further is probably pushing it.

Then why did he put in the loverator?

Pretty close to hello kitty.

The reason why these B-24D's had those ridiculous color schemes was so other aircraft could find them and form up... Opposite of camo. 

EDIT: In response to the post above. There is more than one reason behind zebra's stripes. Keeping flies at bay, camouflage, keeping the zebra cooler in the hot Savannah.... All evolutionary factors in it's design.

The thing that I'm hating the most is the awful low resolutions of these different patterns when applied to vehicles. If anything I think that alone would be enough to discourage most people from dressing their vehicles up.



Look at the barrel.

[Novacane]

To be fair, there is a reason a zebra or leopard looks like it does, its great camouflage. There have been many instances of armies using animal camouflage schemes on their uniforms and vehicles.




Its the players fault if they want to use a white and black color scheme on a desert background or a leopard print in snow.

Who's to say the more outlandish skins cant be used the same way ingame...

But target identification?
Did you see the Alpha footage? Even with empire specific colours we get enough TK. It's going to be a fucking slaughter if you're at night surrounded by a mixture of enemy and friendly zebras.

I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at the idea of a "Great Zebra Massacre" occurring.

Zebra warpaint has always had a dear place in my heart ever since I first watched Conan and his companions paint it upon their faces before slaying Thulsa Doom's harem inside his Mountain of Power.
