What file types and formats do i need to make custom skins?

[[Pb]Baxticus]

I haven't made a skin on BoS before but have made plenty for games such as war thunder, therefore i have become very familiar with using targa type files for the skins in game. I am just womdering if it is possible to use this file type as i am familiar with it.

You'll need to create .dds files.
