another funny and eloquent delirium from 1CGS (by the way,
here and
here illustrations for previous prikol about "terrible young mongols")...
if i'm not mistaken, in USA/NATO blue it's our troops, red - opponent/enemy... right? so, for markers in games analogically... right? well... in USSR, from modern "map legend (or symbols), which used in combat documents of soviet army" -
here - RED it's our troops, BLUE it's opponent/enemy...
for example,
modern map with chart of battle of 6pdr of 104 pdp...
and, for example, map of
defense of moscow'41...
only several examples after fast search and we can see what all times RED - red army (raboche-krest'yanskaya-
krasnaya-armiya), blue - wehrmacht or enemy (boeviki)...
so, logically and HISTORICALLY need to do enemy markers as BLUE, right? and give choice for "blue players"...
but wth?!
although, lot of nonsenses and other strange things, and etc, like personally i and expected...
and i'm even not talking about our reality ie strange ideological differences or even ideological war in part of society of russia like this simple fresh
example...
oh, and i remembered about main reason, why in game red army should have red color=red marker... all simple... and no secret, what in RL identification mark of ussr were -
RED STARS...
ie innovation of 1CGS, at this moment, really looks like absolute delirium in all senses...
===========
by the way, strange "il-2 1942" could be absolutely anything, becuase...
if i'm not mistaken, mainly were il-2 one-seater with vv-1 instead pbp-1 and filter on air intake, which could have shvak or vya-23 or even sh-37, am-38 or am-38f, gunner or without gunner, and it's if not talking about field mods, ag-2, rockets for shooting in pursuer etc...
were il-2 two-seater (for all planes with UBS correctly 150 rounds for this gun) with shvak or vya-23, with am-38 or am-38f ie with 8 or 4 rockets, with 200 or 400 kg of normal bomb load, etc...
really good description of il-2s
here - because based on russian sources, which i read now too - like and about other soviet types...
and, of course, real types depends on front, regiment, etc, but it's real choice especially because BOS no only about stalingrad, by personally my opinion...
