Absolutely speechless, this plane is incredible I solute you my freind.
@dogspit mmm
@TemDesBur ah
@dogspit oh the reason the swastika is on it is because its not a combat variant, (even though it has dual 30mms) instead its a propaganda plane to demo the tech the nazis have to the public (german public)
@dogspit i know, the logo is called the balkenkreuz
I play war thunder (and i'm also a ww2 enthusiast) so I know about some of this stuff
@TemDesBur that's cool. It is true that the Nazi symbol wouldn't be on the plane. Of course it's not you who made it so in reality it was the maker who is at fault. People often don't realize that not everybody in ww2 was a Nazi. I have relatives who were in the German military and didn't wear Nazi badges and stuff. It was a segregation. A certain amount of people made up the Nazi party and the rest were military personnel fighting under Hitlers orders. The German planes usually never had swastikas on them, rather the German luftwaffe symbol that is still in use today.
@baltar mm and in war thunder
@TemDesBur yep that's the idea. I remembered flying this in Il-2 Sturmovik (the 1946 expansion I think) and I saw it's rudder plan there.
@dogspit the rudder design on this was actually the ones implemented into the real life Ho229
That is actually a great concept idea.
Ok @baltar
@Bonkymnobols I didn't make the original plane...
Use the german cross instead maybe??
Why the swastica??
