So I just got my Spitfire V, and one of the biggest things I was hoping for was not to see that ugly Marine Camo.   But to my horror, the Spitfire V has the same Marine Camo as the Spitfire I.

 

The Camo looks like it is for an airshow or a circus.

 

The current camo is #4 if you search Google for Spitfire/Camo/Marine, so it looks like a very poor effort was put into selecting this terrible paint job that you are charging people for.

 

You should substitute NAVAL for MARINE when using Google to do your game research from now on.

I would pay $20 if I could get a priest avatar in my hangar.

Yeah, I ended up using the no bonus green/gray paint job for both the Winter and Marine slots.

I put in a support ticket concerning it and they basically blew me off.

Probably because that's a horrible use for a support ticket...

 

The Spitfire V's marine camo was (as far as i'm aware) never actually used on a spitfire, however No.92 Squadron of the RAF ran a squadron display team, taking over the official role from the Black Arrows, while maintaining the Hawker Hunters, they had a unique paint scheme for their display aircraft, painting them in bright blue gloss with a white lightning stripe down the side.

 

Spoiler

 

Personally, i think the camo scheme on the spitfires looks great, however i do agree that it doesn't belong as a marine camo... it should be swapped out as a parade camouflage, with the more traditional marine camo replacing it, similar to the Spitfire IX's marine camouflage.

I hate the paint schemes on the spits that's why I run mod skins on mine here is my T5 Mk I spit with one of hawkeyededic's awesome skins..............

 

 

Thanks Hawk.........

Camo like the marine spitfire one is why I just put one paint job on my plane and leave it on.

Plus I'm a cheapo

The saga continues....

 

This continues to cause me profound sadness.

I skin most of the planes I have thanks to the modders. I use very few game skins & I have all my planes cammoed. WG just lacks here both in tanks & now planes.
