Um...D-11 has best skin of all the jugs(dark olive with blue trim and racing strips). it's the only jug I fly and a ride I take often.

Ratio's Pengie skin is awesome!  Also, it's a great tribute to a great Polish pilot - Mike Gladych.  The guy almost shot down a transport carrying Winston Churchill :noid  He also met LW's Eder in combat on several occasions (claims to anyway :lol).

No sir - it should download automatically.  It was submitted by Ratio and added in October.

Thanks for the Link.  That is one fine skin.  BTW do you find the D11 has better E retention than the other Jugs?

Nope. Doesn't seem to recover as much without the paddle prop.

All of them are similar in that regard.  As stated already, the M is the best MA jug because of that MOTOR :rock.  I am just a dweeb that loves the D11.

 :airplane: The D-11 is a great plane for a number of reasons. Most people see a jug and think it's an easy kill (but LilMak and the reformed 56th FG are changing that). Once they see you are in a D-11 they will pounce on you. In the right hands the D-11 can out fly most other planes. You can force an overshoot easily and get a good burst into the dope you should have thought twice.  :cheers:
