About the focke wulf
« on: 22-08-2009, 21:08:34 »
I don't think there was any focke wulf in the war that had the same camouflage pattern as Forgotten hope's focke wulf has. Here's all(I think) the paint job patterns used during the war for the focke wulf:






Now here's the thing: Your focke might be nice looking and all, but there's only two pattern that has the same cross model, it's nr.27 & 43, and heck it's not even the same model of the plane :P

Heres the picture of your model:


It's not even close in any part :P I mean the FH2 FW has the parts from the following pattern numbers:
Arrows on the side -- Nr. 24.
Iron cross on the side  -- Nr. 27 & 43
Iron cross on wings -- non
stripe behind the cross on the side -- Nr. 25, 26, 18, 29, 31, 5, 6, 10 & 12
Actuall pattern -- non

It's basicly a mixture of all patterns

reskin it if u want it to be historical accurate, I don't mind the release of 2.2 getting hold up 1-2 (heck even a week) days because of it : )


EDIT2: LOL, I just made some more digging and i proved my self to be all wrong, I found the pictures on this page: http://www.wunderwaffe.narod.ru/Magazine/AirWar/36/AcesPlanes/index.htm

Since its on russian i used google translate and translated it to Swedish (here's the english link: http://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wunderwaffe.narod.ru%2FMagazine%2FAirWar%2F36%2FAcesPlanes%2Findex.htm )

apperiantly, those paint jobs are for certain people, like Nr.1 is for "Hauptmann Fritz Losigkeyta, Arnhem / Dilin, Netherlands," and the site gives us some facts about these people (how many planes the shot down, where they were deployed and all) so forget what i said. keep the pattern : P

The arrow and dash are plane identification. In this case, this plane is (I believe) the leader (or no.2) of the Black Dash squadron/group.

The crosses are also a varying thing to just say "I'm German."

Also, this particular FW was donated to FH. It's actually a mix of a few models of FW. So it's not entirely accurate in it's own right, but its close and represents more than one plane.

How come some of the FW's on those charts are so long?

Are they like a late war version or something?

D version. Inline engine instead of radial.

Late war.

The series also got a bit longer over time. Also, I think the last one might be a Ta. Those had super long wings for really high altitude flying.

The only thing inaccurate thing about the skin concerning 2.2 is that it's an Ostfront machine, Werk Nr. 171189 belonged to Major Karl Kennel, Gruppenkommandeur of II./Schlachtgeschwader 2.

Considering how the camouflage paint and markings was applied i'd highly doubt any two late series Fw 190's were identical, it's highly unlikely that any earlier versions had identical camouflage schemes either.

Whoa so many different focke designs!  I doubt we'll get to see all of them in FH2

yeah i believe thats a Ta 152H-1

it was a high altitude fighter/intercepter for use against bombers...not much of a fighter
