Hint for coloured skins said:

White - ammunition rack (possibility of explosion).
Red - engine, fuel tanks (possibility of fire).
Blue - the driver.
Orange - commander, gunner, loader (the crew members responsible for shooting and visibility).
Pink - weak armor.
Aquamarine - bad choice for shooting if you can hit other zones (stronger than pink, very high chance of ricochet).

isnt this cheating?

[mcbane]

I'm pretty sure this is cheating.

[amazingronaldo]

It is not cheating. Since the A shaped reticle built into the game actually tells you whether you can damage a spot on a tank (green), or might be able to (orange), or most likely won't (red) then this is the same as that. Also I tried the other one from beta of this skin and I learned where to hit from friends more than this. Long range you can't tell or see the hit zones, and close range you are usually moving too much for it to be of use.

why was the previous thread on this subject locked? the mod didn't say

[tankboy1138]

It's not a cheat. It's simply a skin that shows weak spots. Changing a skin really does nothing to help you, except an aim guide. and unless you can visually see the tank, you can't use them (eg. shooting through a bush makes these irrelevant).

EDIT: oh, and it's not an unfair advantage because EVERYONE can get their hands on them. ANYONE can use these skins. It would be unfair is say, only developers and moderators had the ability to use said skins. (just throwing out an example, nothing is meant by it.) THAT would be an unfair advantage.

this has already been addressed by developers. While it shows you where to hit the chances of you actually hitting the module depend upon so many other factors theres zero gurantee hitting one of these spots is going to do any more damage than hitting anywhere else. On top of that most of your experienced players already know where to aim without the ugly skins. I mean seriously if your hitting a tank right in front of you arent you going to aim for gas tanks if their external, or the gun if its pointing at you?

[Nooben]

Developers officially allowed to use it.

[Hotwired]

When we get pinpoint accuracy hitscan weapons with no traversing delays whacky skins might be useful.

As it is...

Long range it's a good shot if you hit the tank AT ALL.

Medium range it's a good shot if you can hit a specific LARGE area of the tank e.g. track area instead of turret.

Close range is not about good shots. You get two equal tanks knife fighting it's the best defensive driver that wins. You force someone to waste a shot, you get one free.

[dragonhelm]

if it didnt help no one would have made the skins

so arguing it doesnt work or help is silly.

[ZombieFlanders]

not a cheat, but definitely underhanded/cheap/abusive i think. the best way to learn weak spots is by playing the game. in a way, this is actually a complete joke, and really is more of a crutch than an aid. the penetration indicator already tells you if you can damage a targeted area. then a hit on one of these spots (when you are perpendicular to the sides, front or rear since the modules are internal and 3d) highlighted by this mod  gives a chance (module HP, shot dispersion, penetration all factor in) of module damage.  this multi-colored disaster is of hardly any worth to anybody who is at all experienced with the game.  

i love how these skin packs are for newbies but always feature T6+ vehicles.  whatever....

i respect he authors time and effort, but this really kills the spirit of skin creation.  we are allowed to alter these things and should be creating content to enhance the visual experience for ourselves, not trying to eek out every perceived minute advantage...especially when it isnt really an advantage at all.  play and learn, dont rely on this. my guess is, if you need this, then you arent a very good player and this wont help much.  weak.

[Webtroll]

folks it's not cheating nor underhanded if it complies with the rules of the game. some folks may not like it, but it's a lot like arty; it's in the game, so deal with it

Im guessing the Mods got tired of the tears as well



I seem to remember reading a post by a Mod that this is ok, But as a previous poster stated, there really only useful to bush campers. And we all know what happens to them shortly after being lit up

[kymrel]

I like to look at the pretty pictures of the weak spots on the tanks, but I will not download the skins. I play the game to blow up nice looking tanks in realistic-looking environment. Pink, blue and red spots on the enemy tanks would detract from my fun in too many ways. I would rather look at pictures of weak spots, try to remember them and hopefully hit a few during a battle.
