I think Lyric refers to this:

That scheme wasn't on an La-5 with a bubble canopy, which is what our La-5FN has.   

Thanks for getting the skins in on short notice, Skuzzy.   That was pretty fantastic turnaround time.

Skuzzy, that scheme was on a LA-5 model earlier than the FN, with the full height rear fuselage - think P-51B or P-47D-11.

This is an LA-5FN

Furthermore, the FN featured a much more powerful engine and a lighter airftame.

This would be akin to skinning a P-51A scheme on the  P-51D.

I don't know, what's your point, to see fewer skins in the game? You freaking go ahead and do all the research, reformatting, layering, etc. The plane is iconic for WW2 Soviet aviation.
It is in EVERY other major game, razorthechitback, here it is in Warthunder:

Here's a plastic model kit:

 I could understand this, coming from some artist that has something better, been through all of that, let's see what you got, NOTHING? Your grandad saw you fighting my White 15 and had a conniption fit because the one he fought looked a little different? Blow me some sweet wind under my wings bro.

Your reading way to much into my post.  All I wanted to know was there a policy shift by HTC on razorback La-5s because this very skin I had asked about with other skinners years ago. In regards to wanting less skins in the game I would have to say absolutely not. If the policy had been changed I have many good razorback skins that could be added. Personally if HTC is never going to add the razorback version of the LA-5 I would let this be skinned on a bubble top version.

The beef is probably better lodged against the review process. My presumption is that this La-5 is the only one this platform will offer into the foreseeable future. Unlike the more popular American planes that feature both versions, perhaps in some distant time, when a more accurate version is available, it would be more appropriate to adhere to the relative paint schemes. 
 This logic was supported by it's approval and it would have been a very different situation if that had not happened, or I'd been advised to adjust my offering to be more specific. Either course seems more productive, in the long run, because this is something I do commercially, when time permits and to perform the work, gratis of course, submit it, see it approved, tell everyone but Skuzzy, apparently and then to see the whole thing wiped, no explanation, no record of the submission and I had to search here to find a comment about bubble canopies did it?

I think it would be useful if a list of what can and can't be skinned for each ride in the game was created and posted in this forum.

For the La-5FN the entry might read "La-5FN:- any wartime La-5F or La-5FN but not the La-5."

For the Spitfire Mk XVI it might read "Spitfire Mk XVI:- any wartime late model Spitfire IX or XVI with clipped wings and the E wing armament (2 x 0.5 in and 2 x 20 mms)."

Perhaps this could be a group project, we all agree a format then various players edit a percentage of the rides and post their lists here for comment and correction. Then once everyone is happy we merge the lists into one and Skuzzy stickies it in this forum.

A simple question, up front, would have solved all this.

Here is the simple caveat.  If a skin did not fly on the model we have chosen for the game, then assume it is not acceptable and ask for a variance.

There are examples where we are not going to do every model variation that flew in WW2, and it is there we can examine potential leeway in policy.


I extend an apology to you Kilroy for the manner in which this was handle.  I completely missed it in the review.

Just FYI:  War Thunder is not supporting evidence of anything.
