With the new Sherman camo, we get incredible opportunities to show off AMERICAN paint schemes.

Like this: I call it CAPTAIN AMERICA.

it would be REALLY good if they would add in some lines on the same color-channel as the star, that would run along the lines dividing the first 2 colors.

that way if you did this red/white/blue scheme like above, you wouldn't have red meeting blue directly, it would have a little white band dividing the red and blue lines throughout.

in my opinion the red/blue looks bad when they are right next to each other. if there was a little white line between it i think it would look 1,000X better.

I tried doing an American flag mech with red and white stripes, but blue stars look bad.

I agree - the U.S. is long gone and forgotten in the 31st century. Let's keep it that way ;)

Sorry, I meant 'MERICA - F**K YEAH!

:lol:

EDIT: Although you can make pretty nice camos with Sherman:

That is an amazing paintjob- not only does it look great, it is spot-on for soviet Afghani camo. :)

Threw together a few just for kicks!

The awesome seemed an appropriate chassis for this, given that it has generous proportions reminiscent of big dumb American things like hummers, etc.

I also found some text on the awesome's butt, but I can't make it out. Anyone got better eyes than me?

I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the Raven works quite well for both American and Soviet schemes. It's a shame they decided not to place the star decal on the 2X's side panel though, would have looked fantastic there.

Looks like "NO 30 SD 2013" to me.

The MIG-Raven looks great.
