British Royal Army skin?

[Stratos]

This is not a request, simply curious, cause I searched the DCS user files without luck, but sometimes there are guys with skins laying around, and I think both choppers look pretty similar (not the size, of course), so...

 

Anyone have British Royal Army skin for the Mi-8??

I really hope a Lynx is the next announced Helo or at least something AugustaWestland

Stratos, sorry, but I can't help with the skins, but just a head's-up for the 'Royal-Army' thing.

 

 

I know it's a bit confusing on the face of it, but although in the UK we do have a Royal-Navy and Royal Air Force, we don't actually have a Royal Army. It is actually called the British Army.

Why? Well basically you have to go back nearly 400 years to the English civil war, when the 'Royal' Army representing our then King, was defeated by an army called the Parliamentarians -(lead by Oliver Cromwell later on) and the King was eventually defeated, and it is the descendants of this army that we have now -not the Royal one!

 

 

Thus, no Royal Army in the UK!

 

 

Hope this helps for future ref.:)

Thanks for pointing out this little known fact .. I wasn't aware of it :)

Thanks for the info Archer, is always fun and interesting to learn about things like that. Kudos to you.

 

And sorry, but couldn't resist... Will try to add the proper DANGER lettering on tail, and to add the red and white markings on tail rotor (If I can find where it is in the skin), also maybe to tune down the rivets, but with Malvinas/Falklands coming I really need a British Lynx.
