Hi All, Does changing the appearance of vehicles to blend in more with their surroundings and landscapes make it more difficult for you to see or spot?. I consciously make an effort to change...

Hey @CordlezToaster,

Good post!

So yeah, when you have selected a vehicle at the beginning of a match you're indeed locked to that vehicle. However, when you are still in the countdown screen (while you're vehicle-locked I would say), you can press the Esc button on PC (not sure about the console equivalent, I assume Start?) and you will be able to see your Collections again.
On that screen, you should be able to see the currently equipped skin of the vehicle that you have selected. Maybe you're even still able to change it before the round begins, I am not 100% sure.

What I am sure about though is that you're indeed able to change the selected skin of anything mid-match while you're in the overview screen (aka spawn screen, you have just died and can change your loadout etc.).

@EA_Leeuw Maybe it would be best not to have a countdown screen? That just seems like it's best suited for a battle royale game and is causing lots of problems for people. We should be able to choose whether we want to join straight away or not without a countdown breathing down our necks. Give people that choice at the beginning of the round so they're able to take their time with choosing their loadouts, customisations and spawn points.

  Hey @Arfan76,
  
  I understand your feedback, although this is about something different than what this thread is about.
  About your post; the match has to start at some point, right? That is the reason for the countdown timer at the beginning of a round. 🙂
