Add official captured plane skins

[FeuerFliegen]

While I think it should be rarely used, I like how there is the German P51D skin that came with "Lightning Strikes", and the French Ju88 with invasion stripes (which is official).  I'd love it if that German P51D skin was official, and if several other planes had official skins as a captured plane.  

 

Mainly multiplayer would be the main reason for the need for official as it would allow the use of captured planes.  It's the one of the few cases where adding official skins could actually add a new unique game dynamic for multiplayer.

 

It should of course be highly recommended that multiplayer servers block use of these skins, or in the case of an actual captured plane for the other side to fly, block every other skin.  And in my opinion it should be rarely used, such as just maybe 1 or 2 planes max available in a mission.

 

This would have been especially useful for before the C47 came out, and servers like Finnish Virtual Pilots gave both sides a Ju52 and there was no way to tell if it was friendly or not; you'd just guess based on location.

 

While obviously not a big percentage of planes, there were quite a few examples to argue it being a historical factor that could be incorporated into our sim!

 

If you'd like, enjoy all these pictures below of captured WW2 planes.
