Default GV skins
« on: February 25, 2009, 12:17:39 PM »
Why does everyone use the Sherman???  Because you can not see the darn thing!!!  If the default skin on the Sherman is going to be camo green, can you please make the default skin on the tiger and panzer camo green also, its only right.  Why you ask?  ALLLLLLLL the other skins don't matter when you click on "turn of skins" in your preferences!  Once you click that, all you see are default skins, hence the tiger and panzer are like blaze orange, so please skin accordingly!!! :noid

It's a good value for the price.  Hard hitting gun, good turret traverse.  Stuff you hit tends to die first hit, most of the time.  Once you know where they're shooting from, the skin doesn't matter.

Tiger:  Slow turret
T34/76:  Bouncy shells
T34/86: Slow rate of fire

I like M-8's too.  Must be because they're green....

I sorta understand why youd want that, but only on the U.S. gvs becuase olive green camo was mostly common for the allied.

Some guys don't blame their death on the default skin.

The Y34/85 doesnt have a much slower reload time, if any, vs the M4 FIREFLY or Tiger, is about 1/3 slower than the Pzr IV, and seems like doube the speed of the T34/76.   ;)

There have been other threads that have gone on this path before... the Pzr IV and Tiger stick out like a boner in spandex and the M4 Firefly blends in perfectly well with the green backgrounds on almost every map.  Both T-34's are better than either the Pzr IV or Tiger, but are still far behind the M4 Firefly in blending in.

JB21 is 100% right I drive shermans for 2 reasons with great success.  #1 it's gun is better then even the Tiger's in my opinion, and #2 if the sun is low and slightly dark outside if you park in between two trees you are 90% invisible.  If your going to put such an UBER gun and UBER default skin in one package, dont put a great tank like the panzer in a desert camo flaming shoot me skin.
