Looking for information about squads that fly the '51 and have a standard squad skin. What's your squad, and what skin are you flying?
Thanks!

I fly the 4th FG skins. The red nose ponys :salute
-
39th fg pony currently in waiting

lol you two are in the same squad aren't you?
It's my understanding the logjam of '51 skins may be due at least in part to squad COs who've standardized on a squad skin and don't want it rotated out. If I can get CO requests and approval I'm hoping I can help break up or at least loosen the jam up a bit.
The '51 is one of AH's premier aircraft and many of the current skins for it don't do it or AH2 justice. We really need to find a way to get new skins, like Fencer's beauty above, into the game and the old ones out.

That is one great looking Pony. :aok

I love it! And yes, the 51 skins are in serious need of a rotation.
-
I always loved the yellow and black checkered nose or the blue nose. Both are right next to each other on the drop-down.

from my 353rd FG days

Please keep the 78th FG skin by Fester. I don't care about any of the others.
-
As far as I know, skin rotation decisions are all up to HTC, but I would expect all of Fester's skins to be a lock to stay in game. They are richly detailed and beautifully made. Great for studying the use of glare/shadow layers to create the look of an uneven surface.
I would also expect any skin seeing regular squad use to stay in game, unless maybe the squad CO would ask HTC to have their skin rotated out and replaced by a newer, more detailed skin intended for the squad. My impression is that HTC is committed to squads and wants to take good care of them.

Wouldnt mind seeing the 352nd skin get a blue rudder. :aok

353rd skin almost always

How many Pony squads are there Oboe? Need any help with this?
-
No idea how many pony-dedicated squads there are - I was hoping this thread would begin to put a number on it, but it hasn't helped a lot. I'm pretty sure the 412th Braunco Mustangs fly Ponies, but not sure which skin they use, if any. The 353rd and the 325thVFG have clear choices, and I do see the blue-nosed Cripes A'Mighty often in the air, as well as the 4th FG's Man O'War (both Fencer's skins). I assume Fester's skins see alot of use, too.
Apart from the implied connection between historical FGs and their 51s, I'm at a loss to determine which 51s are seeing regular squad use. (And I haven't even started on the '51B).
I'm a little surprised how often I see the default skins for both the 51B and D up; maybe that indicates a number of people don't use custom skins, or really like the default skin's subject. I think both defaults are nice-looking schemes and hold up well against many of the submitted skins.
But yeah, Slash - if you can help ID the 51 skins that have regular squad use, that'd be great and appreciated!

I was hoping the same. Too many good skins in limbo for no good reason in my opinion.

I use 4th FG almost always, I am 412th Mustang. But we all usually use diff. skins. I will start taking notes on which skins my squaddies use.

1 ACG skin always when in a P51D, i forget the skin i use for the 51B though. its the tiger mouth skin. my favorite by far of all the 51s.
-
I always fly the blue nose delta.
-
i always fly the 78th for the D. for the b it changes with what i feel. but usually its got some red paint.
-
I don't think are any strickly P51 squads anymore. Maybe the Midwest FG and the 412th. I don't know about LCA now.
-
Being I am not in a squad, but I usually go with the Blue Nosed One. And speaking of which, beautiful skin you had TwinB :aok

Good, maybe that will free up some great skins gathering dust.

:rock
This and the checkered nose are both great skins.

I normally use Festers BBD skin. for some reason the 51 skin always goes back to default for me .

Same Problem as well. perhaps HT will fix this for us some day.
