Udjevtol Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Recently I somehow got a permanent "Pioneer" camo. Always sold all the expendable ones but I figured I'd have to find a ship to put this one on. And in nearly every case it was an eyesore, worse to look at than no camo at all. No matter what ship type or nation. The least bad option seemed to be US ships where the dark grey deck appeared to somewhat break up and lessen the impact of the camo. To at best be a side grade compared to no camo for a few select ships in the game is a fail to me. Is the "Pioneer" camo the worst in the game or is there at least a few cases where it might actually shine? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensign Cthulhu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Don't like it? Don't fit it! The selection in-store may be WG's choice, but what you dress your ships up in is yours alone. That being said: yes, some are even worse than the worst possible imaginings of Grandma's Christmas sweater. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, seriously, doubt love has anything to do with what WG offers. As to camos, #1) Wedgie still won't let us sell stuff we will never use & #2) use whatever camos look good to you, otherwise, leave your ship base 'grey'. Everyone will have, I'm sure, plenty of entrants to the 'ugliest WG camo competition' * of them all. * Maybe someone could organize this - maybe Wedgie could be sent the results 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! While I don't imagine ever voluntarily selecting Flying Dutchman above other camos even in the orange themed department it does have a certain uncompromising, in your face quality to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_Karasu Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 @Udjevtol Welcome aboard! Depending on whether you want others to see your camo or not, there's the option to download camo mods and use those. Downside is, no one will know, upside is that no one will know. WG at least used to have among their WG merchandise some ugly items so you had the option to match your appearance to that of your ship's. Like the legendary festive ugly sweater: https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/general-news/wg-store-black-friday-2020/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verblonde Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 In terms of sheer horror, I still think the 'extreme gastro-intestinal distress' cammo from Christmas a few years ago takes some beating; can't recall the name (my brain probably scabbed the memory over, in self-defence) - something to do with pine trees? It was green/red/white, possibly...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence_CN Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well the Biswmarck with a cathedral is a marvel too. Just like Yami and its scorpion/crab... At least, a long, long time a go in a far galaxy, camos had their utlity. Nowadays... I don't know what kind of stuff WG' employees sniff, but this is something strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe was called Tequila Sunrise on Crack. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are all referring to the “Vanguard”/“Type 12” camo, which were both very similar (the former being expendable, the latter being permanent): Edited February 23 by Nevermore135 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, welcome to the forum! I kind of like the flying dutchman one, I probably wouldn't buy it because those prices are silly, but the orange doesn't bother me and I like the way it breaks up the lines of the ship. For me the really bad ones are Tokyo Game Show, too busy, too many colors, and seems to tile horribly on the ship I examined it on. Vanguard because it makes me think of really bad christmas wrapping paper. And In rememberance of heroes, just don't care for that combo of colors with the mix of stripes and flowered print. Special mention to Cartographic because that print just seems to look awful no matter what ship I tried it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that... won't that kind of creative freedom result in overly curvaceous figureheads with oversized... features? Not that anyone would want that of course. Just asking. For a friend. 23 hours ago, Schnitchelkid01_ said: I really don't mind it too much, I put it on my GK and my Arizona even though they have camos already.

Fairly seamless application, no clashes between feathers from different texture sheets and the dark grey deck did help. US cruisers seemed a decent fit overall. Not great but also not terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can reach him on Discord, though, if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
