Sorry I'm a bit late with the replies.

Yes it's not restrictive. Like in Il-2, you can set any plane group to be a certain geschwader - gruppe - staffel. Then, new in BoB, you can set any plane to be any number or a pre-set such as a geschwaderkommodore or a technical officer or a staffel pastry chef. Which means you can potentially have a geschwaderkommodore flying for a 6. Staffel, which would color his markings yellow.
We could restrict it to only historical possibilities, but why should we? If a mission creator wants to have green or red staff markings, and the game already supports it by definition, why go through the extra trouble of coding restrictions?

Russia recently passed a new law similar to the German one making any kind of Nazi symbols illegal. The law does not have provisions for historical context. 1C being based in Russia, if we were to manufacture a product with swastikas in it, we could be taken to court for Nazi propaganda.

H-2 and P-2 actually.

It's all part of the animation thing. Our stock pilots are 175 cm I think. With tight cockpits like the 109, we have to find a fragile balance between height and shoulder room so they don't clip through the sides of the cockpit during maneuvers.
This of course has absolutely no bearing on player camera position.

We have all those variants. There's a huge jump ahead compared to Il-2 markings. I want to keep it the details a secret for now, until we're ready to show that in a screenshot as well.
Re: Hurricane prop. We stand by it. We've got references up the wazoo, it's historically accurate.
Re: whining. We do appreciate and welcome constructive criticism. We never claim to be flawless, and we really do want to see your feedback, both positive and negative.
On the other hand, the posters that are a bad version of top 20 radio station, with the same song playing over and over and over and over again week after week after week, that's just completely unnecessary. We get it. Fine. We're working on improving the sim on all fronts, so it'll either get corrected eventually, or if it isn't, you're more than welcome to resume whining when it ships that way in the release. Honestly. Once or twice is enough.
