New skinning slots.
« on: June 03, 2020, 12:54:59 AM »
Since Hitech has opened up new skinning opportunity's it would be nice to see some of the slots be filled by other nationality's other than the country of origin of the maker.
Since the game is International I think it would be good to have at least one skin from every country that used a specific weapon.  :old:

Great idea! Let me add some to the list.


335 and 336 Squadron RHAF (Greece), Hurricane Mk. II and Spitfire Mk. Vc

















VVKJ 6 Fr 51 Gruppe, Bf 109E-3, Yugoslavia






VVKJ 6 Fr ? Gruppe, Hurricane Mk. I, Yugoslavia








(B and C)


ZDNH 2. Lovacko, Jato 1 (Coratia), Bf 109G-10/U-3










ZDNH 2. Lovacko, Jato 1 (Croatia), Bf 109G-14/AS






Croatia had Bf 110G's as well, but I cannot find any real photographs of them.

I plan on doing some Slovak 109's. Probably some Hungarian ones too.

Translated a Chinese site.
Looks like the P-51B is also a CACW candidate that can be done.

For what its worth a Chinese aircraft Facebook page confirms it.

What's the word on Swiss 109's?

I seem to remember reading that they are not allowed since the Swiss were neutral the skins are not allowed even though their 109's shot down both Allied and Axis planes defending their borders from incursions.

Good question wasn't most of their planes captured as well?

They bought their 109E's and they were given their G-6's in exchange for allowing German technicians to recover equipment in a Bf 110G that crash landed in Switzerland.

I came across this while poking around, is this accurate?

Sorry but my understanding is that planes from neutral countries in WW2 are not allowed. Years ago I asked Skuzzy about whether a WW2-era Spanish aircraft would be permitted and he said no. That rule will also make Portuguese aircraft a no-go.
