Possible bug B26 tactical codes

[Stonehouse]

Could easily be WIP so possibly just unfinished not a bug. Seems like B26s did not use the marking system that has been implemented for them. Specifically it seems they did not use a nose and tail marking style such as the in game shot below (trying to make it marked as 322nd BG 450th sqd) but instead used fuselage side markings somewhat like the RAF. Tail markings seem to be used for heavy bomber units eg B17s

Another pic from 323rd BG 454th sqd which appears to confirm the style of markings for B26s in the ETO (aircraft RJ-X). Pic from 323rd Bomb Group 454th Bomb Squadron - History (323bg454bs.org)

 

 

Possibly useful information for devs is the following which if accurate is very specific for aircraft type and unit.
