Captured aircraft...potential skin ideas and these pics make aces high combat more plausible

The IJN 109 was sold to japan during the war, so by the current limits, it could be added :D but I do support the idea of captured skins.
-
Love the ijn f6f. I wonder how they got a hold of it (crash and parts from other crashes or a base capture).
-
Keep in mind that HTC has always held that no captured aircraft skins will be approved....

No it can't. It doesn't even meet any of the criteria for being added to the game. The Japanese received only 5 unarmed Bf 109E for test and evaluation purposes.

I hope that changes, there are some nice captured skins that could be added

I thought they still had the 7.92s in the 109Es... :(

A question: If there is sufficient information to support their use in combat, would it then be a qualified reason to have one skinned in IJN colors even if there were just 5 planes? :headscratch:
-
ok-why would you want american and british planes with japaneese,german,itailain skins--and vice versa..?

That would be up to HTC to decide but it's a rather moot point since none of these planes were armed nor saw any sort of combat.

Given Pyro's full time absence from HTC, I'd prefer to see all energy put towards the completion of the new graphics.

You guys Max said Pyro doesn't work at HTC anymore!
-
wow pyro is not with htc? this has been mentioned since he and skuzzy went to that horse racing track.

I wouldn't mind captured skins so long as they were used in combat in at least squadron strength.
So far as I know that limits it to just Japanese P-40s though, so kinda pointless to even make the change.
-
And Finnish Lagg-3s (which we don't have yet). Also, did anyone else notice that the "German" Lagg-3 from the OP's link is actually Finnish?

Because we used to fly them during WW2, that's why. We had at least British, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian and US made planes plus some others that were captured. They were all painted to have a Finnish skin. A somewhat funny fact is, that the former allies we bought the planes from became enemies during the war. Think about the confusion if we had used the original colours and signs against them! Remember, IRL there was no red icon above an enemy plane using the same skin as you...
