Not really I'm afraid

Thanks for letting me know, I'll get the links updated in a minute, I plan on re-making those skins at some point so keep an eye out for that if you're interested.

Just look at Vermont, they're identical

The Americans didn't really go in for Mountbatten pink in a big way, mostly it was a handful of US destroyers that had this shade at one point in time or another and generally phased out of use by 1943. The main users of this sort of paint scheme were, rather unsurprisingly given the name, the British with multiple branches of the armed forces making use of it rather than just the navy i.e. the RAF and LRDG for example. Many of the Soviet warships didn't really have an 'arctic camouflage' as such, they were generally multi colour dazzle schemes somewhat similar to schemes being used in the Royal Navy of which bright white just happened to be one of the colours used, the camouflages were partly for visual identification between Soviet and British/American warships in the Northern waters. Ships on the Black Sea had completely different camouflage schemes entirely that didn't really have any of the arctic 'look' at all. The closest you'll probably get to what I would consider a true arctic style camouflage is the one applied to Tama and Kiso for the Aleutians campaign.

Yeah, there's photos that very clearly show the much darker decks on Yamato and Musashi, this one for example; The Imperial Japanese Navy were a bit inconsistent with their naval camouflage applying, some of the aircraft carriers received camouflage whilst others did not i.e. Zuikaku was quite extensively camouflaged. At least one seaplane tender was camouflaged, two of the Kuma-class cruisers were as well as Myōkō and Takao. The only Japanese battleships I can think of right now that were painted with any sort of camouflage is Haruna and Ise and that was pretty much right at the end of the war where they were being used in more stationary roles. Mutsuki is one of the only destroyers I can think of that was camouflaged.
-
Could be all sorts, exposure, something in the developing of the photo, they could be part way through repainting, many different factors though I can't really think of any photos off the top of my head that show any 'patterns' on either of them. Photos of Yamato and Musashi are uncommon enough as it is.
-
Neither Yamato nor Musashi were camouflaged, aside from the steel being repainted the greatest change in colours occurred on their wooden decks which are generally accepted to have been stained to a dark grey towards the end of 1944 and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

The Armory: New Ships, Premium Containers, and Rewards

Please don't keep her stuck in lootboxes. -
Update 17/06/21: New res_mods directory: \World_of_Warships\bin\4046169\ All skins working for update 0.10.5.0, any problems such as broken download links, just let me know and I'll address them ASAP.

Here you go, there might be a couple of textures missing but I think they're pretty much all there, I'm a bit pressed for time right now. I'd include a modified normal map to add some depth to the nameplate but for some reason they're not exporting properly at the moment so I will have to revisit it when that's fixed. Remember, you'll need a modified camouflages.xml to see the skin.
-
Try doing a re-download, I did update it twice because I realised I made some mistakes. If the issue persists just let me know and I'll sort it as soon as possible.
-
I made one for myself because the mismatched colours of the secondaries was bothering me, I can upload it if you like though it's not so much a camouflage as a paint scheme matching the post war style that Vanguard had.

Nice article, shame we can't actually buy her without gambling on loot boxes.

Added HMS Agincourt skin to post #1: HMS Agincourt, 4th Battle Squadron, 1915. I will also be updating all preview images to match the style of the one used for HMS Agincourt in post #1 as well as updating and correcting a few skins.

Update 0.10.4 – German Destroyers: Part 2
zFireWyvern replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
So random chance at getting a low tier, historically interesting premium. That is a shame, thanks for the answer anyway. -
As far as I remember, while both Renown and Repulse had their underwater torpedo tubes removed and had above water tubes installed, these were fixed mounts inside the hull of the ship still. They were still sets of twin mounts but they had no traverse that I am aware of. You can see the torpedo tubes shown quite clearly on this diagram;

Looking at it quickly, I'd say it's based off of the camouflage Prince of Wales had at the end of 1941 but it's not that accurate

Update 0.10.4 – German Destroyers: Part 2
zFireWyvern replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
@YabbaCoe will Agincourt be available by other means i.e. premium store or is she only going to be dropping from the Battle of Jutland containers? It'd be very disappointing if that were the case. -
Unfortunately she's got 16mm of plating rather than the normal 26mm according to what was said on the livestream.

They really don't care any more.
zFireWyvern replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
The M-class cruisers that were laid down had barely progressed past the keel laying stage before they were broken up on their blocks. De Grasse also ended up nothing like how she is represented in-game. -
Warships Size Comparison: Cruisers
zFireWyvern replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
Not just a change in armour layout (though Molotov and her sister were modified and improved versions of the earlier Kirovs), her entire stern section was replaced with the stern of a Chapayev-class cruiser in 1942 after she was damaged by a torpedo. You can see in this photo, just forward of the fifth aftmost porthole where the Project 68 stern was attached to the Project 26bis hull and doesn't match up quite right. This is also reflected in her in-game model, unique and interesting enough to be included in the video I think. There's not really much need to be this petty about it; -

Oggy Oggy is still there, if that's the one you're talking about
