Skin Rotation/Additions?
« on: June 07, 2011, 04:17:04 PM »
Hey guys/gals, anyone got any idea when the last signifigant round of skin rotation/additions was in AH?  I think it's been a while for soem planes liek the P47-M, so surely theres been a batch of skins submitted for aircraft in the pipes, but my question is any idea about how long since the chore/task was done last by HTC?

The last lot of skin acceptance emails I got was on the 21st February, so they would have gone live in the MA shortly after that.

At least I assume they have, since I get my MA skins from the downloads section of HTC's website and they still have not uploaded this last batch of skins there.

I've had a '38J skin submitted since early January and never heard a word about it from HTC.   Tried to get it in before the Battle Over Germany scenario.

The skins I got acceptance emails for in February were all submitted in late October or before.

Greebo, in my experience the receipt of the e-mail has nothing to do with when they are actually released. When they are released there is usually a comment here from somebody that noticed it, or they show up on the downloads page.

If it's not on the downloads page, it ain't in game, as far as I recall.

Not necessarily true Krusty.  In the past there has been some time elapse as to when that page gets updated.  Skuzzy is a busy man.

The skins I got emails for in February were mostly Mossie Mk XVIs, so has anyone who gets their skins via the game itself actually received any Mossie Mk XVIs yet? Also in my experience the skins usually appear in the game within a week of the "your skin has been approved" acceptance email.

I just received a confirmation email that HTC received the "Journey's End" P-38J skin I submitted on Jan 14th.

No doubt Skuzzy is pretty busy.    '38J slots are full but I do hope they consider pulling out an old skin for this one.

Received replies on eight tank skins from Dec and early Jan.

I just hope HTC approves the new skins ASAP, and also rotates out some of the old skins that have been default for years to something that perhaps might dress up the original graphics.  There is a thread up on that very issue at the moment.  It was not all that long ago HTC took off the original SdKfz 251 and replaced it with the current one.

I got some emails for most of my Panthers and an La-5FN today.  :D

They changed my original default Sd Kfz 251 skin because it was mostly light brown and therefore showing up too much against the MA terrain.

Too bad they wont do so for the Panzer IV H and Tiger!!!  Those 2 tanks might as well have flashing lights on them! 

Better yet, remodel them both and put a darker skin on them.   :D
