I honestly can say I never heard that before! I’d like to look into that some more, as the concept is pretty fascinating, though not entirely surprising, given supply issues and the like. I also wonder if it smelled minty-fresh…

I wonder why they haven’t added any new camo? I mean it would seem to be a money maker.

WoT needs to put a lot more camo patterns in the game, there are many that were used by many nations still not in the game. It would help us to customize our tanks more, players want it, and most people pay for camo with gold so WarGaming wins too, win win situation, so why not?

To the author:
Thanks for your article, i liked it a lot!

First i suggest you should change the title of your very interesting article to “50 shades of (Dark) grey”. :-)

Second, i read an interesting anecdote regarding winter camo:

In Alfred Rubbels book “Im Panzer 4 und Tiger an der Ostfront” (“In Panzer 4 and Tiger on the Eastern front”) he writes when they were short on alcohol, tabacco and chocolate, all supply that came through to them was tooth paste. Lots of tooth paste.
But, he tells, you dont want to brush your tooth at minus 20 degrees celsius.
So the driver “Gobby” Tost had the idea to heat up the tooth paste and apply it to their tank. There are pictures in the book:

Thank you! I appreciate that. I’m working hard on providing the second part in the next few weeks, where I’ll detail things like the numbering system (or the basics of it at least), some of the tactical markings tanks had on them and their meanings, and of course more period photographs.
