Title: custom squad skins
Post by: syko on November 16, 2009, 01:20:51 AM
Think it would be cool to allow custom skins that squads could use much like the nosart, so only our squad would see the skins.
seems like it could be done pretty easy. a custom skin folder so squads could create their own skins to pass around to other squad members.
 example below.....just an wish

I do like the historic skins, but I would also like people to know who they are fighting against. PoTW would have like all pink skins with a pig snout of the prop :D  It would make it easy for INK to find his owners :devil

No. I'm quite happy with historical "have seen combat" skins.

Your example skinned on the P-51D is a classic reason why we will never have custom skins.

Having said that I would love to create a historically accurate skin that was unique to myself.

Think of the logistics tho, 2 skins per person times half the player base. Thats over 5,000 skins!

Ooooor, you could think of one skin per person and get the same answer without a bunch of crazy math.  :rolleyes:

Or you could realize that some players would not even care about such a feature....

Better yet pick something better to whine about.....
