The Spitfire MkV entered service in early 1941 and the Land Temperate scheme was not replaced until August 1941.

The first production Spitfire MkVs were factory painted in the Land Temperate scheme, Dark Earth/Dark Green/Sky (Type S refers to the type of paint used - smooth instead of matt - not the colour. There were other Type S paints in use). Squadrons started reequipping with the MkV from February 1941. From 16th August 1941, day fighters were instructed to be repainted in the new Day Fighter Scheme of Ocean Grey/Dark Green/Medium Sea Grey. This was to be done at the first convenient opportunity. From September 1941 manufacturers had to supply new aircraft in the Day Fighter scheme.
Although the Spitfire Mk.V entered service before the Land Temperate scheme was replaced, the Mk.Vb, however, had cannon feed problems (among others) and didn't enter service until AFTER the scheme was changed.
Wrong again...

See my earlier post, you're clearly part of the 'know sweet FA' club.

Been really having a blast with this game, so I figured I'd join up here. First of all, thanks to the devs for finally bringing a great air combat game to the consoles. I've played these kinds of games since the original "Red Baron" and "Secret weapons of the Luftwaffe" back on the DOS days. Its nice to be able to get back into the genre, especially since Ace Combat had to go Xbox exclusive (boooooooooooo. lol). Im sure most of this has been brought up already, but I figured I'd add my two-cents.

- Clan support (I imagine you could call them squadrons or something). I always fly with the same people, and it would be nice to be able to make a clan, or at least make a clan-tag to stick in front of our names, like they had in COD4.

- Fix headset issues. Headsets will go out completely at random, and this requires a game restart to correct. Also, some people will be faint or unhearable when others can be heard perfectly fine. It can get sort of annoying, especially when working with a team. It doesn't happen on other games, and I've heard it happen with two different headsets.

- More Axis loadouts. There's a fair amount of variety among the Allied planes, and it would be nice to see some more among the Axis ones too.

- More variety in Strike missions. Just to spice things up and add other targets besides storage tanks and ships. Maybe airfields, bases, convoys, etc that are more heavily protected by AA guns, and actually shoot back (like this ships). Also, make AA more accurate, and more of a threat (might help balance the B-17 some if its made tougher to shoot down).

- German cockpits. I know its coming in the next patch, but I thought I'd mention it. I know I can't wait to actually be able to see the inside of my 109.

- Fix the P-51D/Fw-190 series. I know this is probably coming too. I can't wait for them to be fixed, personally. They are some of my favorite aircraft of the war, but in their current forms, they really don't hold up well to the 109s, Hurricanes, Spirfires and those damned Biplanes.

- Some more planes. Some nice ones to add would be:

- P-38 Lightning
- P-40 Warhawk
- Hawker Typoon
- B-24 Liberator
- F4U Corsair (I know its Pacific, but its a damn fine plane)
- B-29 Superfortress (also Pacific, but still awesome)

((some unlikely planes to get added, but they would still be nice to have))

- Horton 229 (It did actually fly during the war...it just killed every pilot that got put in it. Still an amazing plane that was decades ahead of its time.
- Gloster Meteor (so the Me-262 won't be so lonely anymore. lol)
- P-80 Shooting Star (it was initially developed when the Me-262 was discovered, and prototypes did fly during the war years. Also, it would give the jets a little more variety..and it looks awesome. lol)

Anyway, I know it was a long post, but I've been thinking about some things as I've been playing this great game. Just thought I'd state my opinion. Keep up the great work guys. With a lot of dev support, this really could be an amazing game.
