Guards Tank Army

Description
Guards were the elite of the Red Army. They were experienced, possessed superior morale and were issued with the best equipment.

Guards' vehicles were decorated with slogans and unit distinctions. This skin pack re-creates the look of a Guards unit. Each vehicle is re-coloured with the references of period photographs, official sources, armour preserved in museums and colour illustrations produced by military historians. The decorations are a mix of period and original artwork.

The base green colour is a colour-match to Soviet 4BO green. Other camouflage colours are based on issue K-series of pigment based oil paints such as 6K brown (umber) and 7K yellow-earth (ochre). Aircraft colours are matched to corresponding nitrocellulose aircraft paints: AMT-1 (brown), AMT-4 (green) and AMT-12 (dark grey) for the upper surfaces and AMT-7 (light blue) for the underside.

The offensive doctrine of the Soviet tank corps prioritised identification over concealment. Camouflage patterns are only used on certain specialist vehicles, and these are reproductions of real camouflage patterns in Guards units:

M3A1 - Reconnaisance Company, 1st Guards Tank Army
M5 halftrack/M17 MGMC - 4th Guards Mechanised Corps
Il-2M3 - lucky №13, Gds. Capt. Talgat Begeldinov, 144th Guards Air Assault Regiment

Looks best with a decal remover.

They are also a bane to players like me who value immersion. The reason I don't play ranked games. Considering people were complanining about team colored decals since the first game, Relic's communication with its community is notable.

The team colour decals are a bane to historic skin modders. We have attempted to persuade Relic to drop them, or at least to have an option to disable them. At this time, it seems that there is very little will to change the status quo.

Thanks for the answer. Let's not forget blood soaked tanks are allowed with mottos about how people got gloriously crushed by them. If people don't get offended by those they have no right to get offended by pink tanks. For your info pink actually got used as camo, although not for tanks, while no commander ever soaked their company in blood unless we are in Warhammer 40000 universe right now. Relic placed two convenient options regarding such sensitivities as well. Finally I no longer have to see the red equal of "pink tank" stereotype.

My real problem is not with the skins, as I think most of the official ones are beautiful, but with the horrible team color and decal system.

Good explanation, though I was more interested in why this one is specifically recommended by Relic. I guess they are all the same by design.

@ViperCanel: custom skins and custom decals are not supported for ranked matches because someone would inevitably use it to spawn pink tanks painted with a rude body part. Unfortunately, it doesn't even look like there is support for them in ToW solo missions.

This decal remover scrubs all decals for all factions. The decals are not individual to a vehicle, as they are taken from one source file per faction. A decal remover pack simply replaces these with blank files, so nothing else is added to any vehicle in the faction.

Does it work on newer units like Hetzer? I use another one and wonder if there is any difference between so many decal removers, especially considering this one is recommended by Relic.

Also do you know if decal removers and custom skins still don't work in ranked matches? I can try it myself, but if I join a match and figure out they don't work it will break my whole mood for the duration of the match.
