Aren't there some desert livery schemes for Axis aircraft?  Could we use those for these AC?  

Also, why no Ju87s at bases, too unbalancing?

Anyone ever consider putting 110s or 87s in Italian colors for desert warfare?

Unfortunatly this map predates the advent of adding skins to terain's, and since the Map Maker for it is semiretired from making map's for us it may well be dificult to get them added, also with the advent of AH2 and the new terain editor all our existing maps will become obsoliet and in nead of a face lift, that may well be the time to adress this issue and the bug's on this map.

 As to Italian Planes in dessert collor's, I have not sean any Italian JU 87 skins in desert livery, just the Italian Green coolor scheam, same goes for the 110's, what I mean is that I dont think any were painted in desert collors like the ones we see on the 202,205, the later actualy never saw service in NA only in sicialy and over Italy, then later with the alies over the balkin's.

I had the same thought tonight, Sakai.  

Brady, when the maps are updated to AH2 standards, I think a few simple paintjobs would make a world of difference.  Something along the lines of these:

I've always liked tan 110s :)

We have those on the Libbya map. Once AH2 is out I think all the skins will be available for all the maps all the time, the player simply selects the skin he want's to use form a list or that is how I understand it, but I dont know exactly how this will work and what skins will be used.
