German "Cobblestone" Urban Camo

Found this in an article about Jadgtigers some time ago.  Until now I had known the scheme, but wasn't aware of its purpose until a friend put two and two together.   From what I remeber, it is an urban scheme, devised to help break up the shape from aerial observers (attack aircraft).   Used late in the war to help protect jadjtigers from one of their many threats.

However the only reference I can find on it this model, which the painter lists as a "night fighting" camo scheme.  He's taken artist liscense in colour choice, as the article was non-specific in what colours, just its descriptions....which was cobblestone.



I will post the article or source as soon as I find it again.  If anyone knows of it already, it'd be appreciated.

The colours, warm and cool greys, were probably made by mixing the standard grey with other colours.   The end result is visually impressive and will give a nice selection for urban environments other than the two tone brown/grey, (especially when we get the improved camo system)

I was just curious about my German yellow cammo I had, but with one of the upgrades it turned yellow and red. Yuch!

that looks REALLY good.

This may sound crazy and all but i wouldn't mind seeing a pure shiny black camo on my tank i think that would look pretty sweet.

Keeping up my desire to see more........different......camo schemes.   For the Americans,   Observation markings.  That is to say, a highly visable scheme used.  For consistency sake, this one can provide 0 camo bonus to any tank that uses it when camo bonus is applied.



This scheme appears on a Sherman at he Auto & Technik Museum,  in Germany.  It's not so much a "camo" but it would look rather striking.

In this topic you can suggest camouflage patterns for World of Tanks.

We would like to see your ideas on German, American, French, and British tanks. The necessary requirement is to provide link to the reference material - blueprint, scanned book, etc ie any sort of

I think the patterns that you have in the game now are excellent. What is missing is color variation. Take the existing patterns, and mix up the color shades and tints slightly. The very nature of WW2 pretty much insured that there was huge variation in vehicle appearance, sometimes even between vehicles in the same unit. It would be releatively easy to offer 10 minor color variations of each pattern.

Also, there is no crew customization of vehicles. Where are the kill rings on my tiger's barrel? What about the soviet slogans that were painted on the side of every russian vehicle ever photographed? I think there are more photos of t-34s with "For the Motherland" or something similar than there are without.

Addendum:

Almost forgot: Unit markings. What could be cooler than to have a panzer III to be able to have Afrika Corp insignias, a tiger to be marked as belonging to 'Das Riecht', or having a Sherman that was part of the 8th army?

How about an affordably priced monotone Dunkelgelb fo all the mid & late German stuff? They quit using Panzer Grey. It's weird to see Pz Grey  Panthers and stuff.

[Skriva2356]

looks like on the EU server there are a few people already making client side cosmetic kits. I wish Wargamming would hire these lads, maybe pay them with gold. Here are some pictures.

I'd like to see the fuzzy fur camo.  Something that would blur the tank's lines when targeted through trees, bushes, etc in an aiming mode.

I suppose its too much to ask to have a skin with a giant middle finger painted on the top of all my tanks?  Admittedly far from appropriate  but I'm sure it would generate more than its share of customers.

A great book for tank camouflage is in my opinion:

Terence Wise's
D-Day to Berlin Armor Camouflage and Markings of the United States, British and German Armies, June 1944 to May 1945

ISBN 1-85409-212-x

i've done the sherman part of this request
