Vehicles too clean: Add clutter to them to simulate Military on campaign (Pictures inside).
New, WishlistPublic

Description

All of the vehicles provided in the game, especially the CSAT and NATO vehicles, are too clean and do not resemble the heavily trashed and random look vehicles on campaign would usually exhibit. Tarps covering ammunition boxes stored in the stowage bins on the back of turrets, sandbags placed next to optics to protect them from sniper fire, Binoculars velcro-taped to the turret roof next to the commanders hatch as a backup, things like that. Below I provide a list to serve as inspiration to the team.

This is not an immediate request, but I hope that as the game expands we will see more variants of existing vehicles, making them look more randomized and trashed. The FIA trucks already approximate this with their hidden selections. Please give all military vehicles such a feature, so that no two tanks in a formation look alike.

Additional Information

Example one: T-72 in Syria http://www.armyrecognition.com/images/stories/news/2013/april/T-72_main_battle_tank_of_Syrian_armed_forces_near_Aleppo_640_001.jpg

Example two: T-72 in Syria http://edge.liveleak.com/80281E/u/u/thumbs/2013/Feb/13/77ea99ed32a8_sf_1.jpg (bad pic quality)

Features: damaged sideskirts and fully missing sideskirt parts, ad-hoc application of reactive armor bricks, tape peeling off main gun barrel, misarranged reactive armor, missing AA MG on turret

Example three: Merkavas in Israel (Model errors reported elsewhere.) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FbQaiYlKiN0/UKG8vQWQWLI/AAAAAAAAUTY/E4z1aa2Mcyo/s1600/n+Israeli+tank+in+a+firing+position+in+the+Israeli-controlled+Golan+Heights+overlooking+the+Syrian+village+of+Bariqa%252C+Monday%252C+Nov.+12%252C+2012.+The+Israeli+military+says+Syrian+mobile+artillery+was+hit+after+respondin.jpg

Fighting equipment attached to the back of the tanks next to exit hatch, additional towing equipment mounted on sideskirts, replacement track links mounted to the sides on the rear of the turret, HMG mounted over main gun and cowitnessed with it

Example four: Training Merkava, still a decent example and merkava on the move: http://i.imgur.com/n1WStDx.jpg http://s1.lemde.fr/image/2007/09/03/534x267/950878_3_92b7_un-char-merkava-en-action-dans-la-bande-de.jpg

Tarp drawn over stowage bin on the rear of the turret, additional towing rope wrapped over the front glacis of tank, towing chains attached to rear and front of the vehicle.

Example five: M1 in Iraq http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110526220849/althistory/images/f/f5/M1A1_abrams_tank_5.jpg

Spare track links attached to sides of turret, towing gear, tarps and various personal gear strapped to the side and the top of the turret. Spare ammo containers mounted to top of turret.

Note that the problem does not only apply to the Tanks, but to all combat vehicles ingame. Especially vehicles like the AMV-7 and T-100 look sterile at this moment.

Its a good idea, I'm voting up but to make each tank individual...hmmm. we still need the new looking ones. Probably a mod job.
