You can download my blue VPB111/USN B-24 skin from this link (https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/skins/index.php?skobj=b24j&display=B24J4022105&skinname=VPB111/USN%20by%20Greebo) to the AH Skins page. I updated it a few years ago, adding a specular and bump map and changing the colours. IIRC the old top colours were a lot bluer but the duller colours it has now are more accurate.

You should be able to find all Kev's B-17 skins elsewhere on the same site. However none of his skins show screenshots so you'd just have to download them all and view them in the game to find the one you want. Bear in mind that Kev's skins were done before things like specular maps and bump maps were introduced to the game. In AH3 any old skins that lack these maps have a chrome-like finish that really spoils their appearance.

I miss the MA but living in the UK time zone there are not enough players to make it worth me logging into it until its close to midnight. These days though I am too tired to play that late at night and I just end up embarrassing myself. Personally I think the MA needs formations of AI bombers to give air to air players focus points that could generate fights away from AA guns and flakpanzers. However I made that suggestion a long time ago and apparently it's never going to happen.

This.   

You need some stuff for people to shoot at.


I remember games like "Aces Over Europe" being a real blast against AI.
