Looks a bit heavy indeed, but don't forget it's no longer a question of layer opacity - rivets and other surface features will use bump or normal mapping, so the appearance will depend a lot on the lighting angle. It looks less prominent on most other screens.

Oleg....I admit this is one of those detail posts...and i half appolgise for it...In the shot with the 109 having been shot down we have a really nice pic of a town...it looks great (here's the but) but 95% of the house have a clay red roof. we have a lot of Slate (very dark grey) roofed properties (particually pre 1940) in the UK. The only reason i bring it up is it may actually help break up the sea of brownish-red...sorry for my first...i'm going to be anal about detail post: it is meant with the best intentions.

Interesting...I also noticed a set of tennis courts, at least I think they were tennis courts on a severe slope. The good news is they must have some sort of computer placement for villages software to help avoid hand painting everything.

sometimes doing things by hand is a good thing.

I don't mind a bit of variation in the colour of the roundels.

This is a screenshot from a few weeks ago. The colours here look perfect to me.

All the colours look really good in that one, i think somebody on the team might have had a good hard go at getting everything right

I agree 100% - the red looks perfect to me!
