Was there a practical reason for doing nose paintjobs like this? From what i understand Bf-109 noses were often painted in multiple colors.

They were intended to invoke the protective power of the Aryan Gods.

It adds personality to the plane

How the fuck do propeller planes speed and a slow down the propeller without the guns having to shoot differently to miss them.

The guns do shoot slower.

The guns are synchronised with the propeller.

The guns are slowed to fire only between the blades.

The firing mechanism has two triggers.
One in the pilot's hand, one pulled by the passing blades.
The gun only fires when both of them are pulled, thus it only shoots when it won't hit the blades.

its JDM culture
you wouldnt understand

Constant velocity, variable angle.

Every time i do this it cuts my wing off, that's some bullshit.

>implying that I even hit him
I just gave the ebrake a tug for skeedz

kek, that's worse than ace combat

>playing arcade

I second this mockery

It hypnotizes allied pilots into fighting for The Reich

constant RPM*

They were mostly used for identification between units, or even armies. Usually it was different units, but when you had massive amounts of planes in one big operation, you wanted all your planes to be painted similarly so you could identify friend from foe. A good example is invasion stripes for D-Day.

The nose paintjob is to show whether the propeller engine is running or not

The second isn't arcade dingus

>arcade.

If you're talking about Spirals/Hypnospirals, then IIRC that was used by German engineers to know whether or not the propeller was working properly, that's just my 2 cents.
