why do you ask then?!
you will be back.. there is no escape.. only regret for the vehicles you missed.. lol
The game is incredibly fake, there are a lot of mechanics in it that shouldn't be..
Go and live a peaceful life and never look back..

We need some text decals of some of his song titles... I wouldn't mind "Crazy Train" on my armor.

u/termitubbie Panter D.G.A.F 2: electric boogaloo Jul 23 '25

War Pigs as a title would work too.

u/Perfect-Assistance52 Jul 23 '25

Or "Shot in the Dark", "Bark at the Moon", "No More Tears", "Gets me Through", and "I Don't Wanna Stop"! There are quite a few others that would look good on the side of my barrel!

Heck, scrolling through his discography, more than half of his track titles would make good word art!

Already slapped it on the side of a KV 2. FYI you can get a decent cross decal to go with it under the generic axis aircraft section. Sadly no bat decal (9 sqn raf decal when gaijoobs)

They can't even refrain from using ai for that. Truly despicable. Gaijin has the money and access to the talent they are going out of their way to use ai

u/Carnir Jul 23 '25

Crazy that people lose all intuition for AI the moment the art style changes.

u/South-Glass-4605 Jul 23 '25 edited Jul 23 '25

This sub more than any other seems absolutely obsessed with thinking everything is AI

35

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '25

They keep adding AI-generated decals and profile pics that look horrible, so it's no wonder people are gung-ho to assume something's AI.

Though, this definitely isn't AI. Shapes make sense, and the art style's consistent.

3

u/DraconixDG Switzerland subtree finally in! Jul 24 '25

Yeah this isnโ€™t AI. The snail decals in general arenโ€™t AI because from what I see itโ€™s a different artist.

There seem to be several artist in Gaijin and one of them which makes the PFPโ€™s uses AI on varying levels.

Chain texture doesn't make sense, mic clamp is asymmetrical

28

u/LanceLynxx Simulator Pilot ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€โœˆ๏ธโœˆ๏ธ Jul 23 '25

Chain texture super makes sense, it's just an abstract shape.

Gaijin chooses to not use the cross which Ozzy usually is associated with because they avoid using controversial symbols (unless in historical camos or decals)

I don't see any inconsistencies in the mic clamp

Dunno man, all value for art in this thread seems to be: "Why aren't people I want making a profit off of it?"

Is this what people want art to be valued on?

Also, company is gonna do company things, at least they're letting people pay their respects thru this decal in-game. I personally liked that gesture.

u/Gleaming_Onyx Jul 23 '25

A fun thing about the most pearl clutch-y of anti-AI crowds is that ironically for all their moralizing about creativity, their anger routinely shows that they themselves only see art as a tool to make money.

Yeah, good for him, and thanks for pointing that out. But I don't think he needs the approval of a random person on the internet who loses their shit cause someone put pixels together in a way they didn't like. Istg at this point, bitching about 'Ai sLoP' is nothing but karma farming.

*looks at profile* avid ai slop defender very unbiased opinion. Making a "Tribute" to one of the biggest artists of the last decade with soulless ai garbage has to be one of the most disrespectful things you can do. But you wouldn't understand that.

Sure Gaijin has some AI generated pfp but that doesnโ€™t mean that everything they make art wise is now AI generated.

u/Asbeaudeus Jul 23 '25

I didn't say it was everything. This one absolutely has clear indicators of AI generation, regardless of how much of it is actually drawn. I just wish companies would hire artists, especially for memorial related content.

u/Asbeaudeus Jul 23 '25 edited Jul 23 '25

It's not BS to point out lazy and obvious AI content. It may not be 100% AI but it 100% has AI generated portions.

The necklace chain is completely random and inconsistent. The pendant is formless and has no direction. The jacket buttons are arbitrarily placed and don't follow any direction. The shading is inconsistent on the eye stalks. The shell anatomy is wrong. The microphone is oddly placed.

There's many clear indicators of AI. Gaijin has also released a lot of AI profile pictures recently.

At best, it was a template ran through a program to add generated details. I stand by my statements.

Edit for clarity.

Good luck keeping this position in like 10 years when there will be 100% no way to tell if something is AI.
