FW-190 armored glass color and opacity. It's too green and too dark.

Sorry if this bug was posted before, just want to make sure.

 

The armored glass in the windscreen of the FW-190 was not colored. It was clear glass made by Carl Zeiss, the same company that made and is still making sights and optics. There was no green tint in it. Just plain white clear glass.

I had a photo of the windscreen of a FW-190 that crashed in Norway, after it was recovered (FW-190 F8 White One) and it was just clear glass without any kind of color, UV filter, or tint. I was looking for it all over my backup drive and didn't find it, but i have few more photos of original armored glass from German ww2 fighters:

As you can see, there's no green tint in this glass. Just pure glass. No tint, no UV filter, No color. Just clear glass.

Some of the restored aircraft that you can see in museums, and even the flying A5, were restored with modern bullet proof glass and have a green tint,but it's because this is modern laminate with UV filter and plastic inserts. It's not the same thing. They used what they could get. FW-190 had just clear glass,

 

 

Here are a few screenshots that show the in game model and that green windscreen is out of place in a historical model.

Please clear the glass in the A8. Thank you.

Yeah, the dark view out the front is about enough to make me pick the 109 every time instead (multiplayer), despite how much I like this plane otherwise.

Me too.

 

 

Though this must be funny to many people (always forcing Focke Wulf pilots to put up without usuable front view in computer sims), it makes me not want to own this plane, as much as I like it. There are cheaper ways to look through a green filter that is 1/3 obstructed by a brown bar.

It really is dark, especially in the morning or evening you can´t see sh....stuff through the windshield. I´d like to see some RL pictures that would show this darkening glass. All pictures I know of point into the other direction. I don´t think it would be so dark in reality.

Hello again. It looks like the latest update brought back the green windscreen and the opaque gunsight.

Was this intentional, or it's just some bug?

 

Thank you!
