    Vehicle camouflage overview

    Posted on December 18, 2013by Silentstalker

    Hello everyone,

    today, we are going to have a look at what Russian players AndrasDand Devilhunterdid to find out the

    camo value of vehicles in game. Original thread can be found here, but I wont put everything they wrote

    here (its some very detailed analysis), I will stick to the most important parts.

    To begin with, in 0.8.6 the camo system changed somewhat and old camo values could no longer be

    applied (the factor got hidden even for the tanks we already knew the camo factor of). That meant that

    datamining was no longer viable in order to find what type of camouflage that respective tank has. That left

    testing as the only real option. The players mentioned above thus devised a following system I wont

    pretend that I understand how exactly it works, but the general idea is following:

    You take the viewrange of a vehicle (please keep in mind however that maximum spotting range is 445m),

    you deduct 50 meters from it (the range where you get spotted automatically) and the rest, you apply the

    camo percentage bonus on (or camo factor) by deducting the percentage from the (viewrange 50m).

    Basically, if a vehicle has a standing camo factor of say 10 percent and you are spotting with a 350

    viewrange tank, that means the vehicle will under ideal conditions, you first deduct 50m: you are left with

    300 and then reduce the 300 by ten percent. In other words, youll spot the vehicle at 320m instead.

    Thats of course without camo net, bushes and all that other stuff.

    In reality, its much more complicated than that, so the following tables are meant only to show you what

    vehicle has relatively good camo and how its camo does compared to, say, Panzer IV or other vehicles of

    its tier or how shooting influences the camo factor (note that for example standing WT RhB has very

    good camo factor like StuG, but when it shoots, it drops significantly).

    Japanese tank camo is at the end of the list, Soviet new med camo is there too. All camo measured

    for top gun and top turret.

    Very interesting but apparently I dont use much camo on my TDs mostly because I just cant find any

    reliable data to know if its useful or not and that I dont camp that much , I prefer to support form long range

    but its more reliable to just retreat during reload rather than sit there and hope youre not getting spotted.

    Besides, High tier TDs have good frontal protection anyway and I dont want to waste crew xp hen resetting

    their skills.

    Well, I guess we just figured out just why Tier 7 LTs in a Tier 10 match get annihilated by the mediums so

    easily, if the medium stands still with a bush poof it spots the light FIRST. Tier 8 is only slightly less

    helpless.

    Using view range mods is the best way to play a scout or a TD as it allows you to accurately know from which

    point you might get spotted.

    Playing a wZ132 or an AMX13-90 as scouts/flankers is still possible except if the battle has far too many tier

    9-10 mediums (like T54-T62 and so on) in which case you better wait until they are either spotted or dead.

    If, like me, you play paper TDs (T40-borsig tier 8 and so on) you need the following:

    . Crew with 100% camo + camo net + binoc + camo paint

    . View range mod installed

    That way you can safely be the top dmg dealer in almost every battle, always stay at the back but using the

    view range mod you are able to advance and relocate so as to support your heavies/mediums while staying

    out of spotting range from the enemy.

    Same is true for most tier 9-10 TDs (with a few exceptions like the ones with almost 0 camo value) as at tier

    9-10 you usually encounter tanks (and TDs) which can pen you quite easily no matter how thick your armor

    is and how good you are at angling.

    The tables there are quite accurate

    To make it simple:

    Lets take my borsig tier 8, standing still (not behind a bush) in plain sight.

    . crew 100% camo skill + BIA + situational aware + recon + camo paint + camo net + binoc (my usual settings

    BTW)

    13/22

    against an is-7 with camo paint and BIA

    - I can spot the IS7 at 445m (if no bush/tree and so on)

    - The is7 can spot me:

    . If I am standing still and not firing: at 191 m

    . If am moving: 304m

    . If I am firing: 364m

    As I always, with most of my TDs give support to some of my heavies/mediums it means I (using the view

    range mod) try to not let enemies enter my view range circle while keeping the enemies within the maximum

    view range where I can shoot them.

    -> result is usually me ending top dmg dealer while remaining invisible to the enemy tanks.

    In case nobody took notice -> playing a SCA35 or borsig tier 8 do require

    skills -> especially if you aim to be the top dmg dealer in the team.

    TDs require skills if you want to be a good player.

    This said I enjoy bouncing TDs shells when I am driving my Maus too.

    and FYI: Playing the borsig in a tier x game and ending up top dmg dealer

    does require some skills.

    @UGDK

    You are right but the camo net can also count when you are firing -> if you didnt move your hull.

    Which means that, in a tank/TD with a turret -> you can retain the bonus provided by the camo net even if

    firing as long as you do not move your hull.

    This is why the Borsig at tier 8 or the T28 proto can be so deadly -> because you just rotate your turret and

    that means your camo net and binoculars are still active.

    little schocked about german camo values, i know that they are the largest by far. but 3-4 times less on JPZ

    E-100 and 30 times less on WT E-100. good thing i wasnt going to train the crew with camo skill, its useless.

    camo net can still work in combination with the turret as pointed out earlier.

    also fun to read that the dedicated scout Aufkl. Panther has less camo standing still then LEO PTA and LEO

    1 ;), which was kinda what i suspected as it 40t so not really a light

    To begin with, in 0.8.6 the camo system changed somewhat and old camo values could no longer be applied

    (the factor got hidden even for the tanks we already knew the camo factor of). That meant that datamining

    was no longer viable in order to find what type of camouflage that respective tank has. That left testing as the

    only real option.

    Testing was always the only option for the release version.

    Back in beta, someone (ZiggyDeath , if Im not mistaken) datamined the camo values and made them public,

    which resulted in WG permanently removing them from the client.

    Btw, its worth noting that the camo skill increases your camo by 0.8% per 1% skill trained, so 100% camo

    increases your camo by 80% (x1.8). Many think that full camo skill doubles your base camo but thats not the

    case.

    Frank, do you think you could find the russian table where they tested the effect of camo skill, net and paint

    on all tanks? It seem to have dissapeared.

    that camo + the view range + a turret + fast-aiming-good-depression-punchy gun + speed is a recipe
