They were. They did what, 21knots (40km/h)? My dog is faster than that, let alone a Supercarrier.

Well, it’s not that noticeable either. It’s a lot better than what it used to be anyway.

Well it’s obviously not the same people complaining, M8.

I’m in the “shiny is nice” camp, because for all the gritty realizm you might get from your mud-covered object of fixation, it still looks better. And no amount of mud will change the fact you’re not in the steppes of the Caucasus but sitting in a chair playing a sodding game.

The middle way is often the best way :) not from extreme to another extreme; and I would definitely not call that one post of mine as “whine”, I am sorry if that sounded as it was a whine; I agree that these models look nice, I just consider it more logical to make it look like that tracks at least once touched ground.

WTGF comes out – people whine about tank being dirty.

WoT HD comes out – people whine about tank being shiny.

Someone somewhere will always be complaining about something.

IIRC they said that they will not make armor durability change after being penetrated etc, they were worried players would be unneccessary confused by that… they do not want even more empty ketchup bottles lying around in first 2 minutes of battle.

It will be more like – BAM, GW Tiger hit us for 1800dmg! Damn we are lucky he did not scratch our shiny plastic-look-like armor; really, they make models more and more like they are painted with really thick amount of paint and the photo is taken in factory right next day the paint is no longer wet. I have never ever seen such a shiny tank in my whole life; I give you that the pieces I have seen were far from being new with the most recent models I have seen were active service equipment like BMP1/2 (yes, sadly few countries still have BMP1 as active service vehicle) and the oldest perhaps Renault FT17. One T34-85 is even around 20-30km from my hometown, although that one particular vehicle is outisde on display, so he has to face weather all day long. These WoT models will look nice in garage but will look ridiculous in battle.

My personal opinion is (no need to read any further, no need to agree with me) that they should make these tanks look like they have been in field at least for few hours if not days, it would be damn hard to keep that Tiger so shiny after few km of moving on tracks from train station to the battle position at El Halluf, any artic map, any map with swamp or mud, almost any map at all. Perhaps on Himmel they would keep their looks for a longer time…
