Title: Fw 190A-5 JG 2 Jabo
Post by: Devil 505 on February 23, 2021, 11:53:56 PM
Fw 190A-5 "Blue 10" belonging to 10.(Jabo)/JG 2. This aircraft was photographed in early 1943 at Caen-Carpiquet, France. Like JG 26, JG 2 had one extra squadron which was dedicated to ground attack. Originally equipped with 109F's, 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 began using 190A-2's and A-3's in July 1942 - just in time to repel the British invasion of Dieppe on August 19, 1942. In fact, it was a 190 from 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 which sunk the only proper warship lost by the Royal Navy during the operation, the destroyer Berkley.

This aircraft features standard day-fighter camouflage and yellow rudder and lower cowl theater ID markings for the channel front. The chevron and bar markings aft of the insignia are unique to the Jabo squadron.

Beautiful.

The blue might be a tad bright but I'll defer to others on that.  My sense of blue is ruined.

LOL    :rofl

It does seem a bit bold in the screenshots.

I already submitted it, so I'll tone it down when I get a chance to update the skin.

Nah, leave it - it's perfectly fine. Devil's color blind like me anyways...  :neener:

Updated a few of the colors to look better in game.

Blue is duller.
White is darker.
Yellow is more orangeish to glow less and to better represent spec RLM 04.
RLM 76 on the sides and underside is darker and duller.
