Marks of Excellence coming with Update 9.1

Especially for planes, both the axis and allied usually had victory marks showing the number of confirmed kills they had. It was quite common among the axis tankers as well, while it wasn't that usual among the allied tankers. Still existed though, but I call [edited] on stars on the barrel... that is probably completely fantasy, at least I do believe so. Never seen anything like it in my some 7 years studying military literature on Soviet tanks.   EDIT: I don't think Chinese tanks had that kind of victory markings either. I don't know the Chinese tradition when it comes to victory markings though, so I don't know. Same goes for the Japanese. A red hatchet as a victory marking, seems quite like a complete fantasy. I don't believe the Japanese had any tradition with victory markings on tanks, since they had very few tanks. The Japanese tanks never had any great successes, and I don't think they used victory markings at all.    Besides, the usual victory marking would usually be the symbol of the faction that the destroyed enemy belong to, impaled in some way or another to indicate that the enemy was destroyed. It could also be a black or white image of an enemy vehicle, though white is bad because it makes your tank easier to spot while camouflaged or during a night assault.
