Most of them are AH1 models I think. All AH1 models really really suck to try to skin.

That and most people disable skins when they GV so they can see them easier. Why would anyone want to spend a month working on a skin that will hardly be used?

Now that the fun is here to stay and solid, its time they are focusing on making the models, uv mesh and skins to the best of theyre abilitys..and this is just from my point of view.

me could be wrong.

That is exactly why they disable other peoples skins when they GV. When you do that everyones skin goes to default no matter what they pick in the hanger. That means every panzer and tiger are those bright tan skin that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Post by: Greebo on July 14, 2009, 02:32:57 AM: The only GV I have ever skinned is the Sd Kfz 251. The M3, M8 and LVT are very old 3D models and have too much mirroring and stretching to be worth skinning.
