We already have heart, rainbow, and shiny colours cammos on Hawken, there is nothing realistic on them, they don't blend in with the environment. We also have cammos that cover the mech entirely.
What we're asking for is nothing that will ruin the Hawken style more than those cammos do (heart, rainbow, shiny colours), or something that is new. We just want more control on how to apply current cammos.
Looks like someone understands my point of view, though think about it from a logical point of veiw.
Take a car for example, you wouldn't paint the windows or the underside, but you would paint everywhere else you could, then you would tint the windows. The only reasons the underside doesn't get painted as well are that it will almost never be seen, and it might harm part of the car if your not careful.
Take that logic to a mech, you would want to paint everywhere but the windows and places that could be easily damaged by the paint, such as vents, headlights, and any loose pipes or open engine parts.
So looking at this
I'll just leave this here:
We can see that the paint is not covering the windshield, which is ok, however, the areas closer to the arms, as well as the shoulders of the mech stay untouched for some unknown reason, the area where the arms and the main chassis connect is understandable because who knows what the paint would do if it got in the way of the joints of the mech.
But then we can look at the Raiders lower torso, those plates do not get painted anywhere as much as they should, even though there shouldn't be any open parts or joints in that location of the mech, hell they're even a good few feet away from the legs of the mech itself.
