New HD tank models - an idea

Dakiras: Personally not sure about this idea. I can maybe see it as being a nice little "feature" that as you progress through a single battle you'd get muddy, dented, stuff caught to the tank... but when you go back to your garage surely you clean it! I know I would. A machine like the T49 or KV-1 I would look after, because they're currently my favourite tanks. Also, it would just get dirt all up in my garage.   A more 'degraded' look over the lifetime of the tank isn't for everyone. The tanks already don't look like they've just come off a production line. There are deformations in the armour, dents, scratches, areas were the wear-and-tear has shined the metal and removed paint, stress marks along joints, etc.   The shine on paintwork, well this does happen when the paint reflects light. Not so realistic after it's barreled through mud and dust, but this would be yet further overhead on system and server resources. Would be a sweet touch, but we need to balance these dynamic features and effects with performance.
