However, in addition to the game’s default offerings,War Thunderalso allows players to forego these historically accurate paint-jobs in favor of more extravagant, detailed, and oftentimes flamboyant options.

Released as a skin for the Mitsubishi Zero, the Cloud Dragon Skin adds an extremely detailed black and red dragon detail to the fuselage of the plane, just below the cockpit. A secondary dragon decal also appears on the wings themselves, this time in the form of three smaller, porcelain white dragons.
The decals serve as a welcome addition to the otherwise plain, white exterior of the Zero and definitely enhance the intimidation factor of the plane.

One of the more common complaints voiced byWar Thunderplayers concerns the lack of color found in ships. Most tend to be somewhat bland (and historically accurate) grey or off grey.
For this reason, the Measure 22USS TrentonSkin addsa welcome splash of color to the hull of the ship. The blue paint, coupled with the dashes of rust speckled around the hull, give the skin a battle-hardened look sorely needed forhigh octane battleson the high seas.

While some players may find the Soviet T-10M Camo Skin to be somewhat on the simplistic side, the simple elegance of the black and red color palette makes the skin unusually well equipped for nighttimecombat operations.
Additionally, the skin offers players a certain “black-widow” inspired look, which is wonderfully rendered with red accents above the tank treads, on the barrel of the tank, and the canvas on the back of the turret.
