Question about (deleted?) MC.202 winter camo


Recommended Posts

Hello pilots,

 

 

as the title says:

Since the new update I can not find a winter camo anymore for the 202.

Some camos changed, like the "german" one from grey-olive stripes to sand-olive stripes too.

 

I just dont find it, or was the white winter camo deleted?

And if yes - why?

 

 

Greetings

Historical accuracy.  The Mc.202 was never painted with winter white and the German camo was changed to what is considered more accurate sand and green.

The Italian Autonomous Groups that fought on the Eastern Front, mostly in Mc 200 aircraft, kept their tropical sand colored paint schemes.

An Mc200 in the Russian winter, still in it's normal paint scheme.

 

P.S.  How about an Mc200 for the sim?

About historical accuracy in a paint scheme...

...I am not sure about what to think.

One hand yes, on the other hand its feeling weird to fight P47's over the Wolga too.

But thats a server creator problem.

 

Ok, thanks for the clearification.

 

For the MC.200 my heart is beating btw.

I don't control what planes show up in the career modes sorry.  I don't mind adding historical skins than look good, even if they never fought in the intended theatre.  So for example RAF Spitfire Vb skins, or even Free French skins for Ju88s etc because they are all historical and existed.  Fictional skins are harder for my OCD to allow :)

Well, Moscow and surroundings would be where the P-47 would be used in Soviet service... in 1944, long after the Germans were gone from those areas. They were used for high altitude air defense of cities, and for training.
