Please fix Bismarck premium camo

[Praxics]

How do WG actually decide wtf camo to give their ships?

 

Coin toss, the winner of a drinking contest decides directly after the contest or they ask the most retarded person in the back alley next to their studio.

 

I mean WarGaming at first choose for Tirpitz the 50/50 camo of July 42 when most probably associate the July 43 camo with the ship. Only at release they revised that (Note: And it’s still not accurate)

 

With Bismarck they went with the camo of the first part of Rheinübung. I get it, it was the one big operation of Bismarck and is a prominent camo choice for many people.

Yet even if the Rheinübung camo is simple they still managed to make several rather avoidable mistakes (Bow wave shape, uniform stripe thickness, turret caps, questionable colour palette).

But still I imagine most people actually want her in her fully fledged “Baltic Camo”.

 

What makes it all the more baffling is that for Prinz Eugen we actually get the “Baltic Camo”.

But here they miss out on the turret caps. (They were either dark grey or red depending on date)

 

For Scharnhorst they went with her 43 camo when she was sunk.

Okay yea well interesting scheme. But again I imagine most people wanted her like she was during Operation Cerberus.

 

Then there is Atago which as far as I can tell is completely made up as the Japanese only bothered to paint some ships with camo when they were grounded near shores due to fuel shortage near the end of the war (e.g. Ise) That’s probably also why the Japanese schemes are all green and stuff… because that’s what s they used as the ships were near the shore…

The scheme of Mikhail Kutusow may be based on some actual soviet scheme but being build in 51 she probably never had a camo at all.

 

And then there are ships like Arizona which seems to nail it.

Or Iowa in the Missouri scheme which aside from the deck and MA seems to be alright, or Indianapolis, or Warspite.

I wonder why Atago had some made up stuff. The Takao had camouflage and there are pictures of it. It might be difficult to get the colours right, but I'd say the camo scheme of a sister ship with maybe some colours off is better than some pure fiction.

Probably because Takao is probably going to a tier 8 regular at some point, and that camo would be used as the premium camo option for her.

Well, if it somehow helps - I vote for us getting the Baltic camo,

I think grey shade difference on the bow and stern compared to the fake bow and stern is a bit too weak, the side of the ships should be lighter grey. Though the main part I really want to be fixed is the Swastika Iron cross on the bow and stern. Also, I know this is inaccurate but I actually like that the baltic strips don't apply to the superstructure, I always think that it looks weird even though it is how it actually looked.
