[BBMM] Panzerblitz Alpha Tester 411 posts 11,156 battles Report post #1 Posted January 17, 2018 Ok, so this is mostly a matter of personal opinion and taste. But I feel rather strongly about it and want to check if other members of the community share the same view. The Kobayashi camo on the upcoming BB Roma has the right idea, the lion head as symbol for Italian kingship together with the flowing tricolore bands and the white background looks fantastic. But why ruin it with the Asian letters and the rectangles which simply don't fit on a European warship ? Give us a different version of that fantastic camo, with the letters and rectangles removed, I did a quick and dirty photoshop of just the bow to show how it would look, clean up the rest of the ship, remove the letters and rectangles from the mid and the turrets and we will have one of the most iconic and beautiful camos in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, out of everything that huge beer can thing offends me the most Makes no sense to me why a European ship that went nowhere near the Far East has such a wacky camo but I guess WG want some lols 1 hour ago, Strappster said: Blimey.

[NED] piet11111 Players 2,225 posts 8,827 battles Report post #6 Posted January 17, 2018 I just want to be able to equip such a camo and then turn of the visual aspect of it to its regular prem camo so i can keep using the kobayashi camo bonuses. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[ONE2] RAHJAILARI Players 3,160 posts 31,670 battles Report post #7 Posted January 17, 2018 Italian actually had many quite smart camouflage patterns in use during the war, there are even books written and published about them. Why would they not use those instead? Ok, this is not Roma, of course, but you get the point - Methinks it looks much better too... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #8 Posted January 17, 2018 Damn, while I have nothing about these Kobyashi camos, this one would be so much better with all the black parts removed (in fact the Japanese letters are less of an issue - but I would get rid of ALL the black squares, not just the small ones on the front. Keeping the side white would look so much better). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishDogFoodShack Players 685 posts 5,858 battles Report post #9 Posted January 17, 2018 These camos make it seem to me like Kobyashi is so overly-infatuated with the duplicate function in photoshop."Look at all the squares I can make! and diagonally, they look even BETTER!"

Deesis_ Players 14 posts 16,752 battles Report post #12 Posted January 17, 2018 i think there are two possibilities. either Kobayashi is trolling WG hard or the idea of the camo is to cause seizures to any enemy that is looking at you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will still be a "normal" camo for it but the kobayashi camo will almost certainly have a better bonus set. That is why i want it to be able to be toggled off without losing the bonus. 1 hour ago, _Helmut_Kohl_ said: That Kobe guy is an "artist", so he will not let them change it just like that. Most potential buyers will not even know about that silly beercan anyway, until it is too late. Nothing is changed its just turned off. Otherwise if there is some contractual obligation of some sort then wargaming should offer regular camo's with the same bonus for free to the people who own a kobayashi camo. And if thats not an option because of the same contract then wargaming should look into getting new lawyers because they screwed up getting painted into a corner like that should that be the case.
