Default Neutered swastika??

saw this screen shot on the BoS site and noticed the black diamond on the tail of the ac has been replaced by an "X" or basically a swastika without legs. i like this much better....

Does look much better. A bit condor legion like though. But better

What im liking even more is the Hurricane in the bottom right of the pic who's about to unleash hell into the underside of that 109

Maybe not. The 109 has a huge altitude advantage and probably a speed advantage as well. All depends on wheather
the Hurri is pulling out of a high speed dive or just taking off.

As much as I like historical accuracy I prefer the X over the real thing. I'd just as soon never see another swastika.

Are you Panzergranate in disguise? Thats another 109

The swastika replacement doesn't bother me. I guess the cross is less obvious though so better.

what is kinda weird about that picture is you can see the holes for the prop blades on the spinner/hub clearly. so you should see the prop blade as well.....

Maybe they haven't done the prop animations for it yet. Seems other screenshots and videos have show spinning props.
