Re: IL-2 Sturmovik Recognition

There was no strict rule. Many 'regular' regiments had different stripe(s) on their tail. The photo with mechanics shows a plane from Zavod 30, based on the length of the serial number under the front star. It was something 30XX57. Northern units usually got their planes from Factory No. 30 (Moscow), having serials 30XXXX. Southern fronts received more planes from Factories No.1 and 18. (Kuybishev) - (1XXXX, XXXX and 187XXXX, 188XXXX, 188XXXXX) Your plane part is probably from Zavod 30. Shown green color was also typical (Green-Brown). Keep checking the units.
