Any new skins for Tankers??

[=TBAS=Bruno-]

Thank you for all your hard work!!!  You keep the sim fresh and interesting.  AS an aside, is there any way you could possibly create a more diverse camo scheme for the German Panzers?  As I drive tanks quite often and build 1/35 scale models of all WWII tanks both Allied and Axis, I find the camo scheme's for these AFV's is very limited and could use another look by your team.

 

The Dunkelgelb used for the Axis AFV is a bit too bright with very little Olive Grun and dunkelbraun. When you research these, you'll find that these AFV's were camo'd in the field and were much darker in appearance with more olive grun and dunkelbraun used.

 

Can you please plan an update with more camo skins for the tankers!!!??

There are quite a few custom player skins available, and even the AI skinning options have been expanded.

 

For example, have you looked over here?

Yes I've seen these and they are good but I am under the distinct impression that they can't be seen if the other players have not downloaded the same skins.  Is this true?  If not, then problem is solved.  If so.....then it'd be nice if the IL2 guys could come up with their own??

Ahh, I see, you're looking for more official skins loaded as an integral part of the base game, rather than the ones that have already been provided for free by the users. I don't really see there being a marketable revenue stream for them that would support their hiring an artist to do the work needed.

in fact, it had been proposed and requested by @Jason_Williams, but it never followed through... in addition to his departure I don't think this is a future objective...

 

To say, @=TBAS=Bruno-, I can't even find the subject anymore...

 

probably dead and buried, sorry...

It would be such a quick win with lots of benefits for little effort, as so many professionally made skins have already been created by the community.

 

Considering how much time has been put into the indirect fire feature, I find it hard to imagine that expanding Tank Crew with community skins wouldn't be feasible.  The skins and cockpit improvements for the airplanes were also done in cooperation with the community!

yes, it would save time, and sometimes even be of undeniable quality (we saw this with the Stug and Churchill @super-truite's missions)...
but it had already been proposed, without success (it was a @Jason_Williams's topic opened by itself, if I remember correctly... but impossible to find it...), there were quite a few (all of them even) very beautiful, and historic. maybe they will ask again...
