Why?
« on: August 04, 2007, 10:42:05 AM »
since we have no desert maps, is the panzer and the tiger default skin a desert camo?

Could we please switch ALL Ground vehicle default skins to a more green map friendly color?

M4 already has enough of an advantage!!!!!!!!!!

Problem is all we have right now are GREEN maps!

Even if we get some desert maps the memory requirements for loading ALL the skins make most of us use the default and turn off other players skins.

Perhaps what can be done is a AH setting to change default GV skins for each map?????

In either case the M4 and the M16 and most of the allied default GV skins are GREEN of one tint or another BUT the axis default GV skins are mostly desert!

So was thinkin we could have a slightly more level field if all GV skins went according to the MAP color!

The default skins of the panzer and Tiger are accurate for 1943 to 1945.

Dark yellow, Dark green and reddish brown were the actual colors used at that time.

To paint the german vehicles green would invite a friendly to shoot as all the Allied vehicles were green.

The original national color of German vehicles was dark grey. They dropped this as Allied air power made camouflage more important and it was decided the dark yellow, red brown, dark green camo patterns generally worked for everyone (except in winter of course) on all fronts.

I'm not saying these colors were absolute as there were local variations but they were the official colors and most of the german vehicles were painted in this way '43 to '45.

Not sure the current default colors comply?

Look more like desert camo to me

This Tigre is said to be in the Kursk area in 1943. Note the light color desert like paint.

Most likely as the Germans did not have color film.

The Germans had a shortage of various camouflage paints after ~1942-43. Many vehicles got a yellow base color out of factory. All the weird spot-patterns or tiger-stripe stuff you see over a yellow base was done in-field, by its crews. But to see yellow german vehicles in woodland areas was not uncommon due the aforementioned reasons.

Regards,
Matt
