The mustache issue

Uther - while I would firmly support 3rd party modding to create the means of that end, I wouldn't endorse it for online play or inclusion in the stock game version. Some would consider it quite an unfair advantage.

Facial hair was at times paramount to determining which way an air battle might sway.

Perhaps it should be a difficulty option.

Aha the old modding argument! I will counter argue that having a full beard blowing back in your face at the wrong moment in combat would be a disadvantage!

Yes but we are simulating playing with the real conditions of the era, flying planes and using equipment that was available at the time, aren't we?

I believe any such person of immense facial hair would be using the standard issue beardlock and other facial hair restraining equipment, given to pilots on both sides (albeit in different forms) as standard-issue for every major theater of cornflict.

Standard issue LW mustache in WW2, with specially modded curls that when blown back fit round your headphones.

Well played, sir.

Who was the cartoon character that had a similar mustache? I remember when he got an explosion to the face, his mustache would appear frazzled thereafter, upon his blackened face.

Mustaches need DMs too.
