once again picked

[Puma44]

yea....i kind of try to keep in the olive drab schemes. first off, 'cause i try to stick with squad skins.......secondly, 'cause when i watch films from the other guys view, i think it looks a little hard to tell which way the 38 is facing sometimes.......kind of resembles a shadow.......

Now yer talkin.......deception is the key!  

[Puma44]

I tried it again, got picked, got HOed, couldn't call a guy off to try and keep a fight just 1 vs 1, and with the no icon thing it was almost impossible with these tired old eyes.

Still not for me.

Ditto on what the other guys have said, Fugitive.  I'll attest to any of the usually regular criminals   in here will give you a fair, respectful fight.     Come on back and let's get it on!

I may be wrong but I suspect the default P-38J skin has invasion stripes. I know I pick up what looks like white stripes at a distance and it always turns out to be a P-38.

{edit} I just checked it's both engine spinners and nacells are painted white. The 20th FG was marked this way before adding black and white on their ponys. It shows up a long way off on my rig anyway.

Same here or I'll up with you and do my best to keep the flies off.  I love watching a good 1 v 1.  

Haven't looked Shifty but I will when I log in later

yea..the default 38 skin is green with white noses and i think vertical stabs. i never fly the default skin.

My point is the default skin is what you see at a distance, it's not until you are fairly close that the skin you are actually flying kicks into view.

lolololol

can you make that the right size for me to use as an avatar?

[Dichotomy]

This should work  



or this one

[Shifty]

CAP a couple of other aircraft that show up brightly at a distance. A6M2, KI-61, and for some reason the C205. With these aircraft regardless of what skin you use your opponant can usually ID you at a distance. It's best to get close to the fight as quickly as possible so your chosen skin kicks in otherwise you give your enemy an advantage of knowing what you are quite a way off. Just thought you could use this info, there's probably qyite a few others as well.

[Dichotomy]

Good info Shifty.. you are wise as always  

Sorry for the threadjack guys but I'm screwing around in CS4 and PSP... sooo

Death to that one

don't feel obligated to use anything I do.. I'm just chillin and waiting till I pick the Squid up from Drivers Ed at 7, then pregame, and BATTLE!!!!!
