2: 92 sqn did NOT have black and white undersides during the BoB only from December 1940, but those were Spit MKIIs with white spinners and white tailband.

Please do your homework better, the importance of historical accuracy is paramount! :(
May I suggest you also do your homework.
I'm looking at a picture of Spitfire Mk1B (QJF) of 92 Sqn Serial R6908 August 1940 and it has Night white undersurfaces. All Production Spits built between 29th April '39 and 6th June '40 had night white factory finish.

White tailband and spinner was introduced to R6908 (a Mark IB) 27th November 1940 (so you have a point there)

Wow, the feeling of height in those shots is incredible. Great work guys. Landscape detail right to the horizon - outstanding.

Anyone else notice the square canopy style of the 109 in the last shot of the first batch? I think it is anyhow.

Ravenous 02-18-2011 08:18 PM
wow...just wow:)

can't wait to see the 109 with half a wing left and belching thick black smoke and flames...and then when i get my senses back, bail out :grin:

the pictures look amazing, and i can't wait to get my paws on this

still find it rather hilarious that each ground vehicle's got different licenseplates, i'm wondering if i'll ever have time to actually notice the awsome amount of details ingame :D

The system the team is using to apply decals is more efficient performance wise anyway.
;)
Thats not what I asked :)
I asked something pretty specific :)
If you want to answer what I asked, then feel free to do so:cool:
If not, answer your own question :-)

But that's how BoB2 works. Rather than disallowing the wrong paintschemes per squadron, in a text document the multiskin assigns the correct scheme (e.g black/white undersides) the correct spinner-colour, and then the squadron code. It's an easy enough feature, but does impact on load-times.
With CoD, I can't see why the game can't recognise the correct scheme per squadron, or allow the player to decide in the skin menu.

It's about 1 month until release.

No sense to make a fuss the deed is done, and no amount of rhertoric kind or abusive will change that.

Be cool, enjoy the pics ask some questions maybe you'll get some responses from Oleg or Luthier.

I expect we'll see more promotional stuff in the coming days.

As far as I can find the Night/White was intoduced in late 1938/early 1939 and became standard scheme from April 1939 to June 1940 when Sky was overpainted.
However some Sqn's still had the old scheme on aircraft in service prior to the battle.

Nice update though gents, the Spitfire camo shades look great, especially with the darker light source.

The german kites look so good but ASAP someone needs to figure out how to add a swastika to the tail.
