SO sick of pics from this game, but isnt that cheating? Using bright skins to your advantage?
all tanks have a icon showing what type of tank it is. This does not show up if you aren't in range, and nor do the tank model. And when you then see the red icon and aims towards it the enemy tank will be highlighted (even parts obscured)
So the anwser to your question is no, it have no affect on gameplay at all.
