Customizable tanks.

[Nicholas]

I have an idea for HOS, you know how your character will look more grizzled as they progress in the game? Well what if they did this for tanks? Nothing to affect performance, just aesthetic stuff, like wear or parts that look makeshift repaired. Just stuff so that not every tank looks factory new.

Since the tank commander spawns the tank it would be according to his experience.

I like the idea. Maybe there could be some difference in the engine sounds between rookie and vet.

Yea, I think this is a pretty awesome idea. Having extra things on the tank like tools on the sides, or extra track segments on the sides.

And of course what kind of respectable tank crew would have a tank without some awesome bushes/improvised camo?

This has already been suggested.

parts that look makeshift repaired and wear are not very strong suggestions imo.

if you want customization, something like foliage, netting or camouflage would make more sense.

****, yeah.

It would be nice if tanks had a lot more variability in the miscellaneous tools, boxes, etc. strapped to the hull. Knowing to always aim under the hammer or whatever is a little TOO gamey, plus these little details can really reduce the value of camouflage if the silver/white/black bits stand out too much.
