Title: Special Default Skins for the Fjord Fury FSO
Post by: Devil 505 on February 22, 2022, 10:36:25 PM

This skins will be the dafault on the North Sea Winter Terrain. The 190A-8 and 109G-14 will also be submitted to Hitech as both are adopted schemes already in game. The 110G will be submitted later after I do some more work on an accurate cammo scheme, this one just has a placeholder borrowed from another of my skins. Also, I changed the aircraft's letter from "White E" to "White F" since the cammo pattern does not match 'White E". The 190A-5 in reality was an A-3 and not eligible for MA use.

Special thanks to Oboe for making me an awesome Luftwaffe pilot skin file, which you can see in the screenshots for the 190's. I already had a screenshot made of the G-14, and I'm lazy, so I didn't make another one with the new pilot. The 110 uses a full body pilot model so Oboe's skin will not work for it.

Fw 190A-3 of Stab.IV/Jg 5

The Jg 5 crest is my artistic license since the reference photo predates this FSO, but since some A-3's remained in the unit into 1945, it would have had one applied in November '44, when this FSO is set.

Fw 190A-8 of 12./Jg 5

This skin is an adoption of Krusty's original skin. In keeping with his original, I used RLM 81 green as the darker camouflage tone, which was seen late in the war.

Bf 109G-14 of 16./Jg 5

This is an adoption of DutchGuy's original skin.

Bf 110G-2 of 10./Zg 26 (Formerly 13(Z)./Jg 5) Yes, Jg 5 did operate a squadron of Bf 110's until it was incorporated into ZG 26 in July 1944 - but they stayed attached to Jg 5 in Norway for the remainder of the war. They even painted Jg 5's yellow and black Reich Defense tail band on their 110's.
