Do we have a Luftwaffe pilot yet?

I came across some BoS images but I can't remember to have seen this Russian pilot with goggles.

Did I also miss the German soldier somewhere?

That fellow does not look like a normal German soldier as he is wearing a SS beltbuckel.

This is how the buckel for your normal soldier looked like:

This is how the beltbuckel looked like for enlisted men

in the Luftwaffe.

 The buckel for the S-S are identical to the model:

Not identical; the crown and  the motto "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" are missing. :cool:

 

It's probably a generic symbol used for all the German services; Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine Schutzstaffel etc ...

Better hope that German authorities see that also like you!

It would be a real shame if the sim gets put on the index because of stuff like that.

they used generic buckle because real one has swastika.

 

also, it's a good model, well optimized while preserving detail. the in-game shot doesn't show it very well though. hope they have basic movements like walking and running.

 

as for the soviet pilot, looks really nice.

 

german pilot i'm not to keen on. it feels less detailed. and isn't the face from rise of flight? also, will they have different heads? especially for crewman or exposed gunner might need balaclava.
