I used MAT Manager to sort out the squadron badges I didn't want - in the old days, however it's been a long time neglected and doesn't work for all.

Could you not make the RAF regiment TGAs plain transparent? I like the badges in the briefing but would sacrifice them to not have them present on the a/c.

It's not meant to demonstrate what kind of operations these units flew since that goes far beyond the scope of such a system. I could easily remove all (F), (FB), (TB), (B) and (T) from the list but then a not-so-informed player doesn't know what this or that unit did in WW2. Most thoughtless of the RAF and its sister air forces not to include some kind of hint as to what a squadron did. Couldn't they have taken a hint and done it like the Luftwaffe or the VVS?

EDIT: I left out the night-bomber units on purpose since there are no aircraft for them in the game so far. I had to draw a line WRT workload somewhere. Sorry.

Personally, even with my knowledge of the more famous RAF squads I find this feature really helpful Thor; thanks!

A little note for correction - my 601 squadron in game still has the 602 lettering - 'LO' - and badge bug from old. The codes should be 'UF'.
