Well, I've never created a skin for Il-2, because, while I would like a uniquely identifiable skin, I simply don't have the skill or software to do all of the panel lines, rivets, and assorted hardware that has to be drawn on the Il-2 skins.
I'm not talking "Hello Kitty" or the neon plane either, I'm talking about a slightly different camo job so when we're all lined up in a row, we don't all look like clones.
With this a competent skinner should be able to turn out a good looking skin in an order of magnitude less time, which means instead of focusing on making one fantastic hyper-detailed skin, you can make a unique skin for every aircraft in your wing, and be able to ID everyone by sight, rather than icon, or "Hey Fred, wag your wings."
Try it and see. It is awesome to see.
