WOW the youngest one here has to open his mouth again and spit out words that might get him sent to the principle's office. how about JUST MAYBE instead of trying to look cool and slam someone try explaining your theory and BACK IT UP WITH FACTS. provide a link that says these things.

all i know is it use to disable your skin as well. i have not played with it for over 4 years. now don't you have school or something to got to.

Wow ... other than being blatantly wrong ... maybe you should follow some of your own advise and BACK IT UP WITH FACTS before inserting your foot into your mouth.

So how do you decide which is default?  Do you want it based by map or by how the tank would have rolled off the production line historically?  I guess that's where I think it would be difficult as the defaults are pretty much the common paint schemes for the tanks they are on. 

I understand what the concern is, but unless you have default skins change for any map that is a different color, it's gonna be tough.

Not really... all MA maps have the same color. Green. And that's where 99% of all tank action in this game happens ;)

I make the decision based on Fair or at least balanced game play  based on the maps we are using now.. and the color that they are now.... I already gave an example HOW  it was not Fair or balanced.  I dont have a problem trying to keep things historical     ,BUT

In real life i would be cutting tree branches and camouflaging my tank.  And I might die in my real tank with my real tree camouflage but some sorry sob-tank driver ant going to pull some magic lever and un-camouflage me.

I've been going through the three "Panzer Colors' books on the shelf here and I can't come up with an only green Panzer IV or Tiger I.  They all seem to contain the tan as base color with streaks of green and browns to break up the shape.

I'm not finding a green panzer.  Good examples of both a Tiger I and Panzer IV in Normandy, which was awfully green when I was there. Tan as the base color with brown and green patches. Definately not overall green

Well, we are not asking for fantasy green skins just because our maps are green. Just for considering making the most "greenish" skins we already have our default ones:

No worries for me :)

It just made me curious if there was even a 'green' paint scheme that worked historically for a Panzer or Tiger.  The lower one appears to be green over Panzer gray.
