Thanks, but nope, they're right side up as best as I can tell. I just opened the jpgs and created layers on top of them, and they all work perfect in the game... i haven't used stock tanks in days...

I made the skins by layering text and other graphics over the original tan skins included with the game. I drew all the graphics myself, in illustrator and photoshop, and used transparency so that the graphics looked like they still had the texture of the tanks underneath. In some cases, I erased some of the graphics on spots where the original tank was worn from battle, and those graphics now look like they are worn off too.

you can use them in the online game, but you are the only person who will see them. If you swap these skins in to your tanks folder, they will replace all the tanks on all the game modes, until you swap back in your originals.

It would be great if every tank could have it's own skin in the online battle, then people would have more of an identity in the online game and community.

I really like these tanks in the online game. Makes it even more fun to score when you blow up something you made part of.

if you haven't tried them in the game, you can see what they look like here

@ Mellowvision

Is it safe to assume that you're making a radar? I will DEFINETLY download it if that's true.
