So the canopy is by no means an indicator for the version - all three (E-1, E-3 and E-4) could have both canopy types installed.

Regarding the Bf 109. I take the markings are still part of the skin? It looks the same as in the screenshots from ages ago. Ilya said Roman (Deniskin) was very pleased with my instructions regarding the markings on the 109 so I was wondering how far that work is.

Yes it is part of skin. It is placeholder. With the changeable marking we will work later.

Okay.

And what do I have to send to Moscow to get an E-1 in SoW-BoB?

Just a first impression about pilots: I think we could get some better faces. Besides that this pilot is ugly (like most Englishmen ), he looks too cartoonish.
I may be wrong though (not about Englishmen's looking ).



Edit: By the way, I do realize that pilot's faces are not of much importance (actually I almost don't care about how they look).

The face is optimized for custom faces. However it will be more hard now for user to make own face, comparing to Il-2 pilot faces, because of way more details. So simply placemn of 2D picture now impossible. Maybe someone from third pary witll write utiliy that to map any face to our model well.

E-1 currently in development

Thanks Oleg.

A question about Bf 109E versions - which ones you plan to include? Only E-3?

What about E-1, E-4 (ie. same as E-3 but with Mine shell firing MG FF/M. Even 3d model can remain same as most were simply converted from E-3 by repacing cannons)
Maybe E-4/N, E-7?

I am really hoping for E-1, because it was 2nd most important version in Battle, and a very fun airplane with the all-machinegun armament for simple dogfights.

Also question about wheater propeller pitch mechanism on Emil will be manual or by manual/Verstellautomatik? Both were present in Battle (similiar question as case of headplate)
