Historical HakenKreuz

[DoolittleRaider]

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!!!

Historische hakenkreuz.... Better?

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...

/applaud for you sir for the ability to use google translate!

And yes that is better.

Still it is kinda funny that some grumpy old guys in here goes rambling all over the place while trying to defend their right to use these Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei markings (i wonder why people use the short term Nazi, when they can write that peerlessly "short" sentence), when the majority of the threads in this forum is about how to even get the game running on their computers.

But I guess the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei markings is THAT important.

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
