Camoflage looks like [edited], im sorry!(Pic's)

[McCracken666]

Anyone else think that camoflage can ruin the looks of even the best looking boats in game. I mean they look like they where ment to hide i a jungle or something, not the ocean.

 

 

 

 

Why cant we have this :

 

 

 

[Gavenn]

Oh i like that black and white one

[Naskoni]

It does look idiotic, for the most part. I'm pretty sure I'll never put any camo on purely based on how fugly it is.

Mr cracken, meanwhile you can use xandier's camo remover:

You cant see the camo, but as the game thinks its here, you will get the benefits.

what do you mean?

[zFireWyvern]

Except that some IJN ships did have green camouflage patters e.g. the Zuikaku in 1944

 

Model representation of the colour scheme:

have a look at the British desert "ice cream" camo in WoT. It could always be worse.

 

Naval camo was never designed to hide a ship, it was impossible for the most part due to the belching smoke stacks. It was designed to make it very hard for a gunnery officer to get an accurate range fix. The disruption patterns look crap up close but from 8km away it makes the ship veru hard to accuratelt gauge for the purposes of working out range and heading.

Which is all good and dandy, but it doesn't need to look like it was designed to kill brain cells too, does it? I'm sure there were historical camos used that didn't look that bad.

Not really, they all look like someone painted them while on acid

[Naskoni]

Well, in that case they might want to search for unused "prototype" camos that existed only as "blueprints", because I'm not putting the current ones on any of my ships. I'd rather sink looking as a normal ship and not something painted by a bunch of hippes when high and using whatever leftover paints used to paint prisons... or experimental mental institutions...

it was designed to kill brain cells.It was to cause confusion.

You mean on the painted ship, as well as on the ships that dared to look at them from a distance?

"stock" Atago > camouflaged Atago

[AgarwaenME]

Cammo isn't make up.

 

Also, while one sort (like the pics posted) would be ideal for the north sea and atlantic and ships sitting in an European port, quite another kind would be needed when your ships are anchored at or silouetted against south pacific islands.

[DtXpwnz]

We totally need this:

[Exustio]

"IJN Commander here, we were out of black/white paint, we had loads of yellow/green though....so.....why not"

 

"We also like to draw stripes, but i have to agree, we got a little far ahead of ourselves when we noticed we painted it vertical instead of horizontally"

Maybe they wanted their ship to look slimmer?

[Verdius]

They went far too overboard (pun intended) with the colouring for the IJN.

I just wish that they went the sensible route and stick to reallife camouflage instead of using the same pattern for all nations and only switch up the colouring.

Stuff like this looks way better than the pattern that WG uses. At least let us choose the colour we would like to use insted of using the same pattern for all nations.

Guess I will stick to Tanz's versions.

Not quite true.  Mountbatten Pink, for instance, was a case of a camouflage designed to actually hide the ships.  Mountbatten's men swore by the camouflage, actually, as they often noted the ships painted in such disappearing from sight at shorter ranges than the ships they were escorting.  Quite a few were, though, it is just one example.  You couldn't make the ship invisible, but you could make it so that you needed to be a lot closer before you saw it.

 

Also a nice example because of this quote:

Just you wait until they do start putting in more accurate historical camos.

[Xevious_Red]

I would like it if there was more choices, you could keep the same 2 "types" of camo, but for each one have multiple options.

 

That said, with it's wooden fencing and the stripe camo, the hashidate does look like a banana boat from donkey kong

[Calapine]

Agree with the OP. The Japanese color scheme looks rather...crap. Hoping for some changes in that regard personally (at the moment WG is probably busy with other things...)

[Unintentional_submarine]

What surprises me is that there are literally hundreds of pictures of camo for the various navies. And there is a great deal of variety to them. Splinter camo not only looks good, but it is relatively simple. Dazzle might be going a bit too far (have a great example on last page), it could probably cause epileptic seizures ingame (only half a joke). Even the various forest camos used were a lot better. Like the Zuiho and Zuikaku styles Tanz has dug up. Even Tirpitz in her rock-and-tree camo looked pretty good in comparison.

As you can see in the first picture, it worked pretty well, though I included the book because the original photo is faded in colours. Though obviously I would prefer more normal oceanic camo. And the Germans pretty quickly abandoned it (it was only in place during June-July 1942 as far as I know).

 

[EDIT] Well that was mess. Had to find another book screen to use instead. But it should work now.

[Zenith]

It's awful, not to mention far too bright. Probably an afterthought feature, and then created in a rush. It certainly doesn't look like they spent a lot of time on it.
