Can't figure out how to shoot it in the game, so the skin viewer shot will have to do.

Change the view mode flag in settings.

Duh, I hope your not talking about F3 F8 etc. Those don't work in vehicles for some reason.

If you are not talking about that, where is this setting at? I cannot find it in the documentation or any of the control panels.

Thanks

Looks good there Fencer.Were there any other schemes than just plain green?

That's a really good skin Fencer, very nicely aged.

I saw a Firefly scheme somewhere where the dark green had been overpainted with light green. Forget which regiment, but it was based in Germany in mid 45. I'll look it up if anyone's interested. There must have been some winterised Firefles as well.

Thanks Greebo, you oughta do one (if you didnt do the default) there are some exotic schemes out here, I will try and find you one.

I distinctly remember a winterized firefly from the Coldstream Guards. I saw the photo in a World War II magazine (it was a series of mags they would send you very thin and on different topics each time) in the late 70s. I believe it was in reference to the Battle of the Bulge and the Guards coming to the aid of the Americans.

Funny I can see that tank now, it was a left front quarter shot with the turret turned to the 1 or 2 oclk position.

Now all I gotta do is find it. Help would be appreciated!

Been waiting for the Firefly to get into the game. I have several shermans I want to do.

Hey Fencer, Very nice job on those skins!:aok

I came across this link about the lend-lease program that involved the M4 Sherman. You might find it interesting and possibly helpful.

Hope the link works for you!
