First, this is not one of the plane requests. It is just a paint scheme suggestion to Natedog and Superfly.
When, and if, we get 190D-9, please try to make it look like this :
(http://www.hyperscale.com/gallery/images/fw190d9kw_2.jpg)
The Dora of JV 44, used to protect Me 262 airfields of Allied planes. IMO, red camo is not such a giveaway as one would assume, since it can be seen from below or from above if Dora rolls inverted (white belly of Niki is easier to spot, IMO). Green camo looks pretty useful, similar to Niki.
There is also a slogan on the side of the Red 1, which says :” Sell my clothes, I'm going to heaven”.

Looks cool, right ? Natedog & Superfly – how about it ?
P.S.
Sorry, JG 2, had to do it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Well, the upper side camo & insignia is nice, but the belly side -ahem- reminds me of painted garage doors somehow (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

NATEDOG and Superfly gotta do this one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I too would like to see that color scheme when the D-9 comes out.
Here's a supportive picture:

I like that paintjob Hristo!
There are many stories of wildly painted Luftwaffe fighters spotted by Allied pilots. It would be neat to have one in the game.
Even if it makes the plane easy to spot, what is the enemy going to do. With a plane that can do 440 mph @ 20k, there is not much to fear. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Of course the Spitfire Mk. XIV should be a higher priority for HTC. Let's bring the RAF at least up to 1944 before we add more 1945 Jagdwaffe toys. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
P.S. Citabria don't be surprised if the D-9 is a bit of a beast to handle. With about 30% more power than the A-8, it should be a torquey SOB. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

actually all german accounts said its handelling was superior to the 190a series (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I'm not woried though (hell I want a p38H for gods sake, I'm asking for punishment (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
but any fast plane is hard to kill when flown right. so difficulty level for unter planes goes way up but will fun factor follow?
I think it will (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for support, keep the votes coming (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
IMO, with icons you really don't have to worry much about camouflage. And at least Richthofen would love it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Here we go again.Fw190D9 was introduced in October 1944. Spit XIV was introduced in October 1944...And I wont say a word more about that, because I know what will happen.

Ok, give us the red-pantied Dora. That's how I like it - leave away that camo crap, we here to fight and not to hide in the skies... let's paint our planes red & purple & yellow to let the enemy know where we are. But on the other hand we got icons... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
I like the red belly, something different for a change! Now bring on the Dora please!

I like Hristos suggestion, after all, if you don't like the color below the waterline, don't worry, only the enemy will have to view it~!
C'mon, HTC, JG2 is asking just this little favor! JG2 color scheme!

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when
someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it
only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm, grasp the joystick button,
and shoot the sucker down!

YES, JG2 colour scheme (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The JG2 is a fairly big and quite well organized squad, with the friendliest people I've been in a squad with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be nice to us and give us the JG2 scheme.
I mean, if there isn't anyone else who really really wants another paintscheme, it should be doable.
If there are others, let us vote (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Umm, but JV 44 ain't Jg 2 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
IMO, red is prettier.

Yes Hristo, I love the colour.

Is it just me, or does wearing pinstripes make its rear end look smaller? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Sorry couldn't resist...

The reason for the bold underbelly is hidden in the first post of this thread.
"The Dora of JV 44, used to protect Me 262 airfields of Allied planes"
What the best RAF and USAAF pilots could not do often times was accomplished by a fresh-off-the-truck grunt with a AA gun. The LW lost a good deal of experten to "friendly" ground fire. If that were me in the plane, I'd be streaming a 50ft. banner off the tail. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
