Constructive comments on BOB historical accuracy in Acft skins/markings

Yes, I've heard that there will be great flexibility and options, and that is very commendable,but I would like to see that the default set of aircraft/campaigns are at least as completely historically correct as possible.

Surely BOB will include from the get-go a couple of Off-Line Campaigns which are very historically based and researched...including historically accurate skins, etc. Everything should not be left for 3rd party Mission/campaign creators to research and modify (sorry) to make accurate.

With IL-2, it took a 3rd party person to create "Mat Manager" which provided historically correct tactical markings, varied insignia and markings by nationality and timeframes, etc... I can't recall the creator's name, but his contribution was invaluable to those of us concerned with historical accuracy and detail. Will SOW:BOB include the variety of historically researched markings for selection by the user, as did Mat manager?

On another note, some of my comments/observations referred to placement/locations of certain markings/code letters...If the locations are wrong, then i assume the "skin Template' might be wrong and not allow the user to make an historically correct skin by himself.

Hope I am continuing to sound positive, and supportive of Oleg's Team.
