I just think that it looks like they used a very high gloss plastic and shrink wrapped the aircraft in it.

Why would you need this effect?

What am I missing here? (Honest question).

You need to hack the game to do that and extract the DDS layers for the default skin. Such effects are not possible with the simple Jpeg skins we have now. There would also be the disadvantage that the effect would be applied to every 109 or Stuka etc. Oleg once said the ability to do polished metal was there, but it would need a drastic rethink of the way skins are stored and read in game for it to be practical.

Ah thanks for clearing that up, I was under the impression they were changing the effects.

I could have sworn we had something like this in a beta patch though.

Like this...



Will find a better shot.

Found some more..





Hope they bring the shine back at some point.

Defeats the whole purpose.

Please, let us not go down the road of the cinematic (and totally wrong) propller blade effects, but this time with modern air show paint jobs.
Do you think that a matt paint job doesn't contain a shine then?

They are hacking a engine feature but using it in a wrong way, I´ll give you a hint of how this effect become usable in CoD :

That aircraft's looks wet
