How to get skins on your tank / plane

So you found a very nice skin for one of your tanks @ http://live.warthunder.com/ ....

...for example this one by Prozacx:

[/spoiler]

But you have no idea what to do now?

When you hit the download button, you'll get this file: ger_camo_dunkelgelb.zip

After un-zipping (with winzp or winrar) you'll have this file: ger_camo_dunkelgelb.tga

To get the skin on your Königstiger (Henschel) you have to create a skin template, go to customization and click the "macic wand":

Now you can just copy ger_camo_dunkelgelb.tga to template_germ_pzkpfw_VI_ausf_b_tiger_IIh:

Now click the "circle" button next to the "magic wand" and you'll see the skin ingame.

Add decals and adjust camo condition / scale / rotation like you want.

You can also use a skin like this for other tanks, for example the Panzerkampfwagen 38 (t) A or F.

Just create a skin template for these tanks like described above,

just rename ger_camo_dunkelgelb.tga to ger_camo_grey.tga and copy it to

template_germ_pzkpfw_38t_ausf_A or template_germ_pzkpfw_38t_ausf_F.

:salute:

P.S. Some skins come as complete template folders, just copy those to your UserSkins folder.
