Airplane suggestions
« on: 20-11-2014, 23:11:22 »
Hi dear FH-2 Team/Devs,

Let me suggest the following:

1.Tropicalised Hurricane Mk.I i.e. with a 80.Sqn Skin for
dual purpose on greek and early Western Desert Maps
2.Hurricane Mk.I or Mk.I/Trop with SAAF Skin exclusively for KerenMap
3.independent Skin for Hurricane Mk.II/C from Mk.II/D
4.Hurricane Mk.II/B & Mk.II/B/Trop, both should suit Western desert and Russian Maps too
5. Ju52 static SAAF skin for Keren Map
6.Fw190 standin Skin for Tunisian Maps to swap out the Bf109F
There could be a SKG10 Skin for the bombed up version and/or a JG1 Skin for
the fighter. I preferr the Jabo myself in my install.

I know the Würger ingame represents a late model and lacks the Filters,
but there were filterless in service too and the Würger just gives that final immersion
for a map like Bou-Zid.

Suggestion for correct Skins:
7.The current Kittyhawk represents a false serial/marking outfit.
Recently I released a large P-40 No.112 Sqn. Skinpack on the actual Desert Sharks on Mission4Today.

AK772 was Clive Caldwell's famous "London Pride" it bore GA-Y for tacticals and a completely different
Sharknose design.
See here:

GA-T could be a different type, but not under this Serial allocation.

Anyway how you decide or what you pick up from here, Thanks for this great Mod.
Regards
Knochenlutscher

Welcome Knochenlutscher

I like a lot of your ideas. I'm always up for unique and historically accurate textures for all of FH2s vehicles. 8)

However I'm not sure if the devs have a lot of time to implement these things. Most of the devs focus right now is on Eastern Front stuff (maps and statics) and there are a few devs who work to balance out the older maps and try to bring them up to standard.

That's not to say that these textures couldn't get done, but I'd expect them very far in the future.

You said you released a skinpack on Mission4Today tho; so I assume you have some texturing experience? :)

If you'd like to see some of these suggestions in-game I'd recommend re-texturing some of the vehicles yourself, especially if you've done some textures before. You can even put them into the game on your own install and play with them like I do with my tank skins. If you have any questions as to how to change the skins in-game, I'd be happy to help :)

If you have any experience in texturing, you may should give a try to some FH2 vehicles!

Offtopic: Thanks for the suggestion, I just redownloaded Matt_Bakers texture pack.
