Has it been implemented for this tank? The other tanks I have no problem changing it.

I'll look at this tonight to see if I can replicate the issue. Can you give me a primer? How are you changing the unit skins on the other tanks? I have never tried to do so before so this is yet another learning opportunity for me.

For goodness' sakes, Bruce, any noob knows that once you place a core unit on the map, its information panel can be opened and, if it's available, there is a module in there to change the unit's skin:

Also, Bruce, devotees of this forum will already know that even though the window says Type 89 is wearing a skin, it really does not:

Why? Because it was reported over a year ago in this thread.

Even so, unit skins remain a work in progress here because of patchy implementation and, frankly, ugliness as complained about in this thread. I agree with that poster's assessment. Ugly and unrealistic.

Okay- so it has not been implemented yet for this model.
I tried to change in game like you did.
FWIW I went through all the game files but didn't see anything to modify.
