Mercenary F-16CM Block 52 Skin Request
-
Hey Guys, I am not much of a skinner for something this fancy. Would anyone like to undertake a classic skin from the Strike Commander game as well as a few other kinds of Merc skins? I have some examples below and I hope this is OK.
I’m working on adding a mercenary squadron to my campaigns and coming up with a ledger system for weapons costs, uses and plane usage costs and the “jobs/contracts” are the tasked missions with their own payments. Any help would be appreciated!

I used the Israeli skin for that reason in Lorik’s Balkans for RED F16 blk 30 and 40. They can be used outside of campaigns as well. Just saying.
And they can be used form any side, obviously.

Nice! I did give it a go and yeah, those skins are awesome. The only issue is, I’m not the biggest fan of those variants since they can’t hold all the munitions that the block 50 and 52 can. I did copy the skins to the block 52 and it works to an extent, but it always has some odd issue right behind the canopy. I can kind of live with that but of course would like to have a skin dedicated to the block 52 version.

Ok, I figured it out! So here is the example of the skin in-game:
Then I noticed that the wingman didn’t have this issue and the only difference was the tail, it wasn’t touched, on purpose though:
So I used gimp with the free selection tool and only copied the camo tail and got this:
I am proud of it, but it still is no Strike Commander skin, if someone is willing to take that on.
At least it is way better than this:

The loadouts in red block 30 and 40 is similar to blue. It’s my theater mod that is such.
If you want a bit of challenge and weapons the Wildcats can afford with Virgil to die of a heart attack……

Well then, it looks like I shall be firing up your campaign SUPER soon!!!

Adding RED F16 to one of the side nations in Scavengers might be the kind of thing you want.
