Skin Request(s)
« on: March 28, 2009, 10:09:38 PM »
Hello everyone.

I would like to see some early war skins for early war planes. Like thew P-40B for example...It has a skin with the Old fashioned Pre-war star on it.Planes I would like to see it on:
-B-17
-C-47
-P40-E
-B25-C
-P-38
-P-39
etc.

 :salute

IIRC early war stars won't be accepted. Again IIRC the only reason that skin is there is because the unit retained the star for a while after the war started.

What night fighter would that be?  We don't have a P38M

It would not be a historical skin however so I'd hope they don't add it.  Unless they add a P38M of course, but that's really just a modified 2 seat P38L with radar and the operator jammed in behind the pilot so I'd see little point unless we went to a night arena.  But then again the P38M would be way down the list of night fighters too since it saw so little use.

And I like 38s :)

We had a black P-38J for a long while. It was completely inaccurate and made up, and was finally replaced. Pray to all your gods it never sees daylight again.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Larry was working on a 38J skin which he showed me and told me was accepted. It looked real cool, can't wait to fly it. Maybe when he sees this post he'll give you guys a preview.

Dan it was the half black half OD green PJ that you sent me "Miss Ann". I didn't get any emails back when I submitted it the first time so I'm going to try and update it some and submit it in a month or so.




For the thread starter, Any American paint schemes before Dec. 8th, 1941 will not be accepted.

Wait, so 2 planes were painted like that, deemed unsuited, and repainted back??

Did they even see combat???

I think that a certain set of requirements is in place before simply just making the skin and submitting it. Must have seen combat, must have been armed (no PR planes, for example).

I think a little more info should be supplied to indicate this skin is worthy of inclusion into AH.

Read it again krusty. It was an armed night fighter used IN a squadron and sent into combat. Thats enough for it to be put in game.

The TWO planes were "from" a squadron, not flown in squad sorties or in any strength other than 1-at-a-time basis, and only flown for a short time before being reverted to older markings. Night intruder doesn't mean active combat. They may never have found anybody to kill (hence maybe why they were deemed unsuited??)

Again, no evidence so far that they're worthy of being skinned in AH.

And who are you to say that the information I have isn't "worthy"? Only person that has a say is skuzzy, and since you aren't him you have no say in its approval what so ever. So please don't worry about what evidence I have because its not up to you weather it gets in the game or not.

I can settle this argument I have photo's & profiles of all black p-38's that did see combat & not p38M's. I have passed them on to a skinner some time back.
