If you are a realism Luft plane fan, and only one would want the 109 and FW SZKK ammo counters with Sz100 insert modules. Then you need to ask for the FW visual aid flap angle indicator. The pilot was able to look out on the wing at a tiny hole and see an arc slider with marks that moved as the flaps went up and down. And then there are the emergency release attachments for the WG21 tubes not modeled in this game. That would be more use full for game play and get more players upping with WG21 knowing they can ditch them in an emergency.

There is a universe of german realism that could be modeled only into the german planes. But, then that doesn't cover the whole community who you are not asking for similar preferential treatment for the whole game. When we were testing during the 2 years of the alpha\beta, Waffle performed updates to the german cockpits along with all cockpits for the instrument packages and gunsights. Hitech could have directed Waffle to give more love to the Luft cockpits since I'm assuming most WW2 air simm fans know about the SZKK counters.

Welp, bustr. I wasn't around during the beta or I might have. There's a world outside AH. It's pretty cool.

Of course I would prefer everything detailed with whatever it had (read visual detail, not uber sim functions). I find asking for specifics is easier to discuss change than asking for the moon.

I'm not going anywhere soon. I'm used to the never changers  :furious.

I appreciate you responding hitech. I get that its a lot of work for cosmetics and hopefully I've been clear enough in explaining the thought. If it is not worth the effort and time some day that's fine. I like more in your world to stay than a damn ammo counter  :salute.

Sadly, we have way more than seven (mental?) dwarfs 'round these parts.   :salute

Of all the Luftwaffe related inaccuracies, shortcomings, and plane-set holes, this is so far down the list of wants/needs as to be almost not worth mentioning.

Here's a short list of things FAR more important to add or fix

Bf 110F
Fw 190A-2 or A-3
Bf 109G-14 A/S
Bf 109E-7
Ju 188
Hs 129
He 177
Ju 88G

Add bomb racks for the 109F and K
Correct weight or armor protection for the 190A-8
Ability to jettison Wgr. 21 tubes
Ability to separate cannon triggers in the Fw190
Replace tail wheel on the 109G-6 with the fixed type

And that's just what I could come up with off the top of my head.
