I know some will say I should know my aircraft better, blah de blah de blah... but I'm sure many of us don't have the time or inclination to memorise the (now) exhaustive list of options.

I play LAN with a friend. And typically our conversion goes like this:

Me: Ok, lets have russian vs german, 1943 aircraft only
friend: Ok
Me: Ok, I'll go in the Yak-3, choose an axis aircraft
friend: Which aircraft are axis? Is this axis?
Me: Don't know
friend: Is this one axis
Me: Not sure

You get the picture.

I know we could exit the server and go into the museum to check, but my idea of small flag & aircraft role icons next to the aircraft designation codes would be extremely helpful and a better way to do things.

I don't find it difficult to recognise from which country an aircraft comes, and what about captured aircraft?
Maybe there could be an option like: Only show German planes - only show fighters - only show bombers - only show Russian bombers - show all planes. Or something like that. I don't think this is high priority for TD, but for new pilots this would make it a little easier because there are so many planes
