I've been interested in certain SOW:BoB (now ClOD) historically inaccurate aircraft Unit ID markings, both RAF and Luftwaffe, since many many long months ago in the weekly update Screencaps and later videos.

Now in this ClOD video, wilburnator, you are flying a Bf109E with markings 3U+AA. Is that a pre-packaged default skin, or did you create it yourself? The 3U would identify the Unit as ZG26; the final A would identify it as an aircraft of the Geschwader Stab; the third place A would usually be the letter for the aircraft of the Geschwader Kommodore, and should be Blue in color, not green, as would be all aircraft of the Geschwader Stab.

Also, as far as I know ZG 26 flew Bf110's, not Bf109's...(though earlier in the '39 timeframe II Gruppe of ZG26 for a time did apparently fly Bf109's)

So, the question is...in ClOD, was this aircraft skin a default one for ZG26? Or, did you just randomly select Unit ID letters for your Bf109?

It's just the skin the game picked for me. I haven't figured out how to choose skins in the qmb.

Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately, that is what I expected...

Here's something I just cooked up in the full mission builder. It's not a 'real' video as such, is totally non-historical and technically flawed. Just wanted to see how much stuff I could cram in, then got tired of messing around with it and decided to leave it as is. I could almost do a making-of documentary on it there was so much stuffing around involved.

Again, it was just meant to be a bit of fun, but when I first watched it back, I was a little bit shocked by the intensity of it. Not sure if anyone else will get the same impression, but it's reminded me of how terrifying what some of those guys went through, was.

Thanks, I just recorded what the game put up in front of me. Am looking forward to what some of the more skilled movie-makers can come up with using these new features.

Slow motion takedown of plane... Youtube really botched up the HD versions and added a lot of jaggies, doesn't look that bad in the original... Still looks neat anyways.

What are all those black straight line things , seemingly coming from flak explosions? If intend to represent shrapnel, I'd say the effect is totally unrealistic.
