additional MERDC camo for US vehicles

[TumblerSnapper 209]

Currently in game we have (only for the mbt-70 and RISE) the MERDC Winter Verdant camo (called late forest in game), MERDC Grey Desert (called Late desert), and what I assume is supposed to be MERDC Snow w/Trees (Late winter) . I honestly have no idea what Late Summer in game is supposed to represent or why Late Summer has white in it. Other than that these are great looking skins and while Winter Verdant was the go to camo for US vehicles in the european region in between the transition from two color/solid color to NATO 3 color, it's nice to have the options. I have no complaints about the camos as they look great and the artists did a great job recreating it in game. I do suggest, however, that the additional MERDC camos be added as well. These camo skins (including those we have in game now) should apply to the m163, t114, m551, m60a1 (AOS), m60a1 RISE PASSIVE, m60a2, and mbt-70. (Edited to include vehicles mentioned by PantherAl)

 

I have attached the official US MERDC technical manual (early) URL as the PDF is too big to attach as a file: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/778726.pdf) as well as many pictures showcasing different vehicles utilizing different variants of MERDC. Another source includes team yankee which is good to see the different variants of MERDC and the corresponding color palette: https://www.team-yankee.com/Default.aspx?tabid=878&art_id=5106.

And a more hard to find picture of MERDC Tropical verdant

 

While it would be nice to have all the additional MERDC, the proper Summer Verdant as well as Winter Arctic would, alongside the application to all tanks that used it in game, be a great start. Would be happy to find more pictures/sources if required. There is an almost endless amount of them. Can find pictures of all my listed vehicles in MERDC if needed as well.

Not a bad idea. Simple, easy, effective camouflages that are realistic. I support this.

[NorthyPark 40]

yeah this would be pretty nice. nice realistic camouflages!

M163 and the T114 would also fall under the vehicles that would have this scheme applied to as well.

On the M1 in one devblog render. It could come for others in the coming patch. I support regardless.

+1 for more modern camos.

As multiple MERDC camouflages have been previously implemented,
