When you build a tank., you do not paint it in dayglo.
You paint it dull colors.

You *also* give it very thick armour plating.

You HOPE the armour plating is never put to the test.
Because you know that no armour plating the tank an carry and still
function like a tank, is truly safe. Its just better than nothing.

And so is the camo on top.
