Mod skin suggestion thread

[Arto 138]

Here is a thread for you to suggest skin ideas to be modded in - mostly for myself, but if others like Tahax and Tobiichi are interested, I encourage them the pick up some suggestions too. Just let me know if you claim any. :)

Lets lay down some ground rules:
1. Be respectful. AKA don't be a dick.
2. Please include some pictures with your suggestion. The more, the better - multiple angles, close up shots of any insignia or markings - it all improves the chances of your suggestion being realised.
3. Suggestions based on real tank photos will have higher priority. Fantasy / other game / movie skins are not out of the question, but have lower priority.

WHAT IS CURRENTLY POSSIBLE:
- full paint layer replacement - accuracy varies per tank due to UV mapping
- modifications to existing skins
- minor normal map changes (texture based fake-3D detail - anti-slip strips, small indentations and such)
- attaching already existing in-game models (think cage armor, extra MGs, RCWS)
- visually removing some parts of the tank - varies highly depending on tank, unreliable

EXAMPLE SUGGESTION:

Modification to Chieftain Mk.11 Leader to add real markings based on Bovington Tank Museum example.

What you have in mind is great. Now developers have begun to pay more attention to realistic appearances and skins in the game, but still not enough. My opinion is that first of all it would be nice to fix inappropriately painted tanks such as the T-62M, Vickers MK7 and the like. It would also be nice to pay attention to vehicles that have been neglected by developers, such as the Chieftain series tanks

It's unfortunate the T-62M needs a new model before we get an official skin for it.

Silent enforcer claimed on discord before, that the next BP was supposed to have one, but the model was too bad

I will add my collections here, because at one time I was the initiator of creating a similar room in RU discord.

Some of the suggestions there are already in the game, and will appear in the future

The Rhône kinda is already in the game as Rhône-Alpes for the Leclerc T4.

Anything with camo nets or other new 3D elements are impossible right out of the gate, you'd know that if you read my post.

I read it, maybe it will come in handy in the future (if it becomes possible)

I've got a suggestion. What about this green digital camo and white rimmed wheels for the Type 99A or A2?

I wish I could make a normal model along with a reskin xD, but these are just my wet dreams)

Tobiichi already did something like that for 96B, except without white wheels, right?

If the 99A2 turret ERA is mirrored the same way the 96B is, then putting any numbers there doesn't work well :/

Oh someone did this already? I can live without the white wheels if the someone already did the camo.

War Thunders M1 Abrams KPTV skin would be cool to see in the game. Possibly for the tier 6 and tier 8. If front flaps aren't possible a plow would be cool
