Why not, there are the markings from

Benzino Napoloni already in the game.

I don't have COD yet....but thanks for creating more historically accurate skins.

I will point out that the JU-87 skins should have the Balkenkreuzen with the wide white 'borders', just like your Bf 109 Blakenkreuzen...not the thin pre-war, pre-BofB narrow white bordering.

S!

EDIT: Sorry. I now understand that you have only added the Hakenkreuzen to the default skins...on which 1C used the incorrect Balkenkreuzen. I guess we'll have to wait for 3rd party skins made from scratch to correct the historical inaccuracies.

The BalkenKreuz decals appear to be easier to change in theory because their locations are defined by a .mrk file associated with a corresponding geschwader. Would you have references for the Kreuz markings and locations?

Lots of profiles here...page 2 and 3 are roughly the BofB timeframe. You'll also see here the earlier thin-bordered HK's of '39 and early '40.

I changed the german/italian flag to a more historical one:

Just extract to ...\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\Army and overwrite the old file.

While I do appreciate historical correctness I thought this game was about flying...
Just looking at the topic makes me smile...Historical Hakenkreuz...why is half the sentence in english and the other half in german? Trying to hide something here are we?

Call it what it is: Historical Nazi markings, and half the world goes -Oh MY GOD Noooo!!!

Following your logic you should go further then! Nazi is the german abrevation for followers of the Nationalsozialismus the correct thread name should then be "Historical national socialist followers markings" as there is no original abrevation for nazi in english

I'm not a nazi, rivet counter or history nerd at all but I think the Swastika completes the marking-composition of the axis aircraft, but i can understand if 1c doesn't want to use it, after all russia lost like 24 million lives because of that war, so people are of course sensetive...

Nazi is an abbreviated short term for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (“National Socialist German Workers’ Party”). It is not an acronym; it is a phonetic spelling of the pronunciation of the first two 'syllables':Na-Ti

This short term, Nazi, is and was used more often in English rather than in German, in which the acronym NSDAP was used.

I would be interested to know from any German 1C community member with relatives who lived in Germany in the 30's and 40's if the term "Na-ti" (Nazi) was used widely, or used at all, by Germans.


Nazi Swastika is "English"
NSDAP Hakenkreuz is German
