    Great camo ehh?

    It has almost exact same color as sky in 2d.


    I have terrible problems hitting la7 against sky even from under d1,5. Because I can't see plane outlines and orientation.

    Isn't this bit extreme?

    Never had any problem with it, but it's surely very close to sky color.

    Usually I attack them from above only :)

    Isn't this sometihng like handing out speeding tickets on a Formula 1 race? The planes are supposed to be camouflaged so they are hard to hit...

    greetze, Zembla

    Planes are supposed to be camouflaged so they are hard to spot.
    IRL I have yet to see so well camoflaged object that it would affect my hitting ability. Also I havent yet seen a plane IRL that i couldnt see from 150 meters.

    Look real sky, then look WB 2d sky.

    You can do WB 2d model virtually invisible if you wish. Choose the exact same RGB value with sky and voila. You've got a cloaking device.

    It doesnt work like that in real life.
    Real life sky changes color.

    From above you get spotted.

    I attack 99% from below as you have seen.

    Maybe I have to get glasses, since no one else has problems with this. :confused: :)

    Illo, I dont know if maybe in 3d the problem doesnt exist or perhaps isnt as obvious as in 2d. I have, however, seen this happen before, most notably with the P47.

    The screenshot you posted says it all imo. I dont think you need anyone else to back you up on something which, to me, is obvious :)

    damn guys, this is camo. La5 is hard to see on sky, wildcat is hard to see on sea, Jug C and some "green russians" are hard to see on land. if you want to kill La5 just take it on ground background :)
