RaceFuel85 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I know..the model isn't even complete, etc...but I started wondering what skins either were in the works to be released or what skins the community would prefer? Personally I'd love.. F-14B 1: VF-32 Circa 2003 2: VF-103 (Sluggers) circa 1990/1991 3: VF-143 Pukin' Dogs F-14A 1: VF-114 Aardvarks 2: VF-51 Screaming Eagles 3: VF-41 Black Aces The esprit de'corps of the above units could really make for some fun virtual fighter squadrons, especially VF-32 and VF-143.

BlackLion213 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well, I have a bit of a bias towards a particular squadron....:music_whistling: That issue aside, I think that Heatblur should focus on squadrons that served on the Forrestal class ships during the timeframe for the initial release (mid-80s to early-90s). USS Forestal: VF-11 and VF-31 (F-14A) USS Saratoga: VF-74 and VF-103 (F-14A+/B) USS Ranger: VF-1 and VF-2 (F-14A) USS Independence: VF-21 and VF-154 (F-14A) This would nicely align their carriers with available skins IMHO. However, they have already said that they plan a wide-variety of skins covering a wide timeframe beyond that of the initial release (so probably schemes ranging from the 1970s to 2000s). Also, they are planning around 20 skins for the initial release (post from a while ago), but they expect that more will be available later. The Tomcat wore a lot of markings and schemes over the years, so Heatblur has a lot of variety to choose from. :) -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippy Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd truthfully love to see a skin from VF-111. VF-111 really knew what it meant to have a sexy paint scheme. 163rd vFS Website, Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_dalan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think they mentioned that at release, they will go for the mid 80's, early 90's, not just for the features and performance of the planes, but also the cammo/paint schemes. I don't really have a favorite in this era, but an adversary or AIM/ACE VAL package would be nice to have as well.

Dino Might Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Also, any news on the Viggen pre-order lottery for those who are being given a custom skin with their name on it? Wondering what skin will be used as the base to add the names to. Been hoping that I'll snag one of these to have it official in-game, but I figure I'll probably make my own custom skin for myself if I don't.

Greekbull Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 VF-2 is a must of course:D I can't wait to rock that skin on the F-14...of course I'm sure we'll need to modify it to work on the F-14B as VF-2 went from the A to the D so flying the F-14B isn't exactly historically accurate...but we want to use the F110 engines:D AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D | ASUS Crosshair Hero X670E | 64GB G Skill Trident Z DDR5 6000 | Nvidia RTX 4090 FE| Samsung EVO Plus 4 TB M.2 PCIe SSDs | TM Hornet Stick/WinWing Hornet Throttle and MIP | VPC T-50 Stick Base | TM TPR Rudder Pedals W/Damper | Varjo Aero/Pimax Crystal VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet Carrier Strike Group One(CSG-1) Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry If I missed something, but does this mean that we are getting a mid 80's version of the A model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
