cheruskerarmin Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hi all, just signed in the first time. I'd like to make a comment regarding new Il2skins-site. Categorizing skins in 'fantasy' or 'historical' (or whatever) will probably cause the same exhausting discussions/quarrels we experienced formerly in Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 communities. Seeing the currently uploaded skins there are only very few that can really be categorized 'semi-historical'. Who wants to judge this? You'll need real experts to do so. Even widespread colour profiles are very often wrong. Pics in many standard aviation books are commented wrong. Making seriously 'historical' skins needs a lot of research. If you like to skin 100% historically you would need original wartime photos of each skinned aircraft, showing each side, upper and under from all views. There were so many variations, personal markings etc. even within the same staffel. Some skins on the site are classified 'historical' and i know they are definitely wrong. Units who never fought any eastern front winter but the MTO are skinned in white snow camo and eastern front markings. Other units are completely named wrong. White MTO markings at the eastern front etc., etc,....Obviously no research done. I am a longtime member/moderator in several serious aviation/luftwaffe forums. My interest in this staff goes back to my childhood. And i'm still far away being able to judge every single work for historical correctness. Even the game itself is historically inaccurate - as you all know there weren't any Fw190 equipped units involved in the real Battle of Stalingrad. The ingame screens are wrong i. e. showing a desert camo Bf109 with white MTO markings in combat with russian P40s. O.k. to shorten the whole thing i really recommend categorizing the skins in types only. Everything else will cause problems. Just let each and everyone decide what he likes - to skin and to use. Just my opinion. All the best Armin
