Default Adaptable Default Skins!!!

In another post I raved about how good the new German Eastern Front skins looked, and someone from TD replied, "You're missing something ".

I had no idea what he meant by that. I checked out the Russian skins, but they were the same as they were before, which is a good thing, BTW. They still look great. Later I forgot about the comment altogether.

Then I started setting up QMB missions in the MTO map.

To my surprise, the default skins on German aircraft (the ones appropriate to that theater, BTW. No BF-109 K-14s in Lybia...) change to Mediterranean tan, with the white theater markings! I was expecting this sort of change for Finnish and Allied aircraft as the clock ticks in their respective theaters, but the German Med schemes took me completely by surprise.

I also noticed that when setting up a quick mission in the Fw-190A4, it's scheme changed depending on which map you fly. Splintered/mottled two tone green with yellow theater markings over Russia, or two-tone RLM grey over other maps, with a white theater band over North Africa.

I continue to discover new things with the patch. Yet moar cool elements introduced.
