Well things never change, there is always someone at the rear pulling the strings with no comprehension of how it effects those at the front, same happened during the Gulf War, the A10 in European green scheme stood out like a sore thumb against the desert, so they painted them grey locally as per the rest of the aircraft operating out there, CENTAF sitting at the rear were not happy with this ordered them to repaint them European dark green and it is believed to have led to losses.
